July 7, 200917 yr Hey folk's.... Here's some links to my BULTACO SHERPA 199A that I just restored for riding purposes. I think it turned out FANTASTIC, not a museum piece, just a real classy rider !!! Happy Trials until next time...
July 8, 200917 yr Very nice but if you arent using the fox shocks I would, perhaps you might PM me about them.
July 8, 200917 yr Author So which blue did you use, and from? It's Rustoleum Sky Blue... the bike started out about 4 different shade of blue. I just went with that and painted all pieces, frame, tank, fenders and side plates to match. Edited July 8, 200917 yr by Parky50
July 8, 200917 yr Author Very nice but if you arent using the fox shocks I would, perhaps you might PM me about them. Actually those are the FOX Shocks... I painted them to be more original to the bike. I did order some new shocks as these Fox's are pretty tired. I'll shoot ya a PM if I decide to sell them.
July 8, 200917 yr looks good, Fox Shox should be mounted with the chamber at the top as they were on your bike originally. I have these on my 199A as well. Also if you rotate the kick start lever forward on the spline a notch or two, you will get a bit more engine rotation before the kicker hits the footpeg. Where did you get the new fenders and the tank decals? Bob

Bob Hi Bob, Thanks for compliment and the tip on the Shox !!! I'll get them flipped over ASAP. The new fenders came with the bike and the decals I ordered from Hugh's Bultaco Motorcycles, they carry the fenders and a whole load of other stuff too.
July 9, 200917 yr I am more amazed that you got the bike painted with it all together. Looks like some blue splotches (4th picture) on the grass It does look nice. Edited July 9, 200917 yr by No Jive

July 12, 200917 yr Thanks !!! LOL... ya saw that huh ??? Better on the grass then that dang garage floor (done that before) !!! It will mow out next week after it grows a bit... wife thinks I'm crazy. Seen the Che-Zed in the back too, you are now confirmed!
July 13, 200917 yr Author Seen the Che-Zed in the back too, you are now confirmed! CZ-400 MONSTER !!! Yup, she is next on the list !!! I have had it since the early 80's and have had lot's of great times with that bike. It should be a fun restoration. I have to find the broken shift lever spring and replace that... hope it's not too far in the case !!!
July 13, 200917 yr Author Hi great bike, does anyone know how I can get the pictures as I cant see them?? Hi jojotut... I can see the pic's. What do you see and are you logged in ?
