Iconic 558 , that a nice example 348 ,I like montesa , nice looking sharp , , engines when running ok , there usually very strong ,, , sure you gave it a test ride before purchase , , I have a few montesa projects , , like them all , vintage , , well cheers good luck new bike

So a model 42 has a y frame on bottom and 48 has up graded frame , both heavy , some one quoted , red bike was a copy , it sold at auction ,,,,, so the original , bultaco riden by Fonda ? Probably in some ones collection , just an thought ,,cheers

Mancmoz , just like look coats ,I have 200 , not assembles yet, I need sort out , heat , wrap , around pipe under tank, , , . Cheers ,

Hi , does your cota 200 run , how is the overall performance ,, mancmoz

I just posted pictures , ,, motovita , ,

It’s all good , stpauls , don’t think it’s original bike , , ,, sold for original ',,,,,,,,, I just started looking , my interest , rebuilding a model 48 bultaco pursang engine , I just purchased on flee bay ,it’s all there ,, going to do a crank berings install ,,replace , ? , cylinder piston seals , , doing a lot of , cleaning , it was shipped from los vegas , , has old stile clutch side covers , on both sides , maby post a picture ,today , ,,, ho just purchased engine on my birthday ,,, fo me a new bul project ,,,, YA ,,,cheers

I look and looked , it’s different must be a 42 , , what info I found there was 2 Bultaco’s , , a spare if other did not start , no photos or frame numbers for other , there was papers invoice for the 480510, pictured on line , by there studio ,, you know ,some times ,, wrighters , make up stories , on hear say , , , and there very good at it , , that what they do , a little fantasy , make things interesting ,, feetupfun , thanks for looking

Thanks for info feetupfun , I was looking at the lower frame , around lower motor mounts , ? Is it a model 42 or 48 ,, I thinking it’s a 42 frame , , can barley see it , ,, don’t see a front tube ,in front of lower motor mount , what you think

Ho kick starter is different ,

18 inch , not 19 ,,wheel

Motovita , your right back wheel is not same , for a prop bike that cost 60-70 thou , in 2019 ,, something little fishy

It’s came out of museum the red restored , and sold at auction , for big bucks , like years ago ,it’s suppose to be the same bike , ya front wheel looks like maby 21 inch other ,19 inch , fuel line very close cylinder , , thanks feetupfun

This restored ? Is in my opinion questionable the same bike ,, model 480510 sold as easy rider bike on bohamas auctions , do you see the differences , and on other side it has mk2 up pipe exhaust ,, I working on 48 engine , and started looking for a frame , some one on line said it was a copy , and not the original , ridden by Fonda , , so I found clip on handle bars , chain guard , front wheel hub , spokes different , fork tube has brake tang , seat , little torn , ,, and if mk3 why mk2 exhaust up pipe ,

Hi , I had clutch drag different brand model , , dissembled clutch scuffed disc and re ass , it still drag , a little , engine old 1972 ish , well pulled clutch in , shift into first , raved up engine , could feel a little pull , clutch lever is still pulled ,, and it stoped the dragging , I did this with brake on , it might work for you ,noticed when bikes not used for periods of time clutch disc stick , and housing can be worn , a vr73 I have clutch disc froze , sitting for years , in frozen Shead , , engine ran , but ,,, when clutch was attempted to use it broke the clutch drive ,, nut right off the shaft ,, a Rickman montesa , I purchased , , a real barn find now engine is dissembled , haven’t got back to it yet , fix another , bultaco ,Cheers
