oh wow that is ? real beauty that. I would ride as is. Lovely purchase

Thank you ?

You wanna swap for my m49 tank? ? That'll work lovely on me pursang astro ?

i have a m49 fibreglass tank sitting here if anyones interested. It was lurchased beacuse i thought it was a pursang one ?

Yeh these seem a bargain but try getting your hands on one ? i had a very long round trip to get one last year and was left very disapointed

Little update on here, recently started resto on the poor frontera. No harm will be done to it as it is going back as a Frontera ? Had a lovely little find this morning and collecting tomorrow. A model 90 pursang astro ?

Thank you, that is not the email I had for him ?

Does anybody know if Mr Sell is still offering his services? I have tried contacting him via phone numbers listed online but no joy as of yet. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know what exgaust is better? The spark arrestor or the banana?

This a model 159. Thanks for the nice comment ? When i purchased the bike it had clearly had some money spent on it in the right areas but had been assembled quite poorly. I got it in a deal with another bike and it was running very poor. After taking it apart and doing some homework i realised it had a worn out carburettor slide (a well known bing issue) I sourced a new slide from bultaco uk and adjusted carb accordingly and now shes spot on, very happy with it. Are you having issues with yours?

Thank you. Got a few things to be getting in with. Either my 360 frontera or the Ossa explorer behind the sherpa.

First bultaco I have purchased. When i done me homework and realised how it was meant to look I knew what had to be done ? Cheers to the guys at Inmotion (Bultaco uk) for the advice and parts.

Seconded, a new slide off of bultaco uk will do the Job. I had exact same issue. Bing carbs slide is made of the same material as the body and they wear out, you end up with a horse shoe worn in the engine side of the slide ?

Ok people thanks for the advice. The tank has the proper grommets with sleeves fitted to prevent the issue with the front bolt. Here it is at the moment ?

I am in the process of putting my sherpa back together. I have fitted the fuel tank (aluminium) with the long mounting bolt through the front, but am a bit lost at the back of the tank. Is it just the seat that holds these tanks in place? Or is there a strap of some sort that holds it? Thanks in advance

Yeh ? no wont be butchered. Nothing that will not be able to be undone. All frontera parts will be kept and stored. It needs a lot of work, found some sections that need repair on frame and engine has to come apart. I like them with the metal mudguards, but I want to race vintage flat track on it.

Like so

Astro/pursang flat track bike build underway soon. Think i'm gonna go for the earlier style with a rear fender and pursang seat though rather than the seat unit

Same height as myself, comfortable at that height? With the lower bars I always felt hunched over.

Thank you ?

This was where i got to yesterday, i stripped the bike to put it back to standard 159 colours etc. I also removed the extra height blocks from the swing arm

Ok bud, I will ask when i order me bits. Yes will do, i'll attach one of how i purchased the bike. Was a random spur of the moment purchase along with another bike i went to see ?

Looking to road register my sherpa when its finished. Csn anyone stear me in the right direction for a dating cert please? I already have a v55/5 form etc and have registered a few things before. Thanks in advance

Cheers ?
