  1. Just bought a Hebo Zone 4 mono white from Motardinn  and it is exactly what I expected .

    Affordable 149+25 USA ship, ultra light weight, comfortable fit (I measure 58.5cm and this is a large), I recommend.

    I have 3 other helmets suitable for road and trails, this makes a helmet focused on Trials nothing else.
    Might wear sunglasses, but most likely hi viz yellow for the woods.

    I looked at Jitsie and Airow , both look great as well.

  2. Thank you pschrauber, I understand the clamp at each end of the wires......and the three wires brake, tail, ground most likely in a sheath all together.

    What structure of this sheath keeps it tight against the fender curve ........rear tire spin throwing dirt, rocks, water, etc.
    Any pictures of this harness run on a Sherpa 49 thru Sherpa 199?

  3. I am installing a Gemo light, as original, on a second gen model 92. The Gemo light will have wires coming out under the rear mud guard and routed forward to power.
    I can see a wire harness exiting the rear guard just forward of the fender mount screw left side  in a variety of pics of this era. 
    My question is what mounts are used to secure the wire harness to the curvature of the mud guard?

  4. Pictured above is one of the Himalaya Sherpa T. Here is the description found - 

    In October 1972, a group of friends from the Moto Club Igualada, fans of making weekend getaways with their country bikes, planned a risky adventure consisting of reaching the highest possible level in the Himalayas.

    Once the project was shaped, they got to work and after a long year of preparations at the end of 1973 the expedition got underway. The group is made up of Rafa Puig Bultó, Dimas Veiga, Jaume Samsó Puig, Ramón García-Nieto and Lluís Solé Guillaume and Gerardo Pascual. With the direct support of the Bultaco factory, which gives them six Bultaco units Sherpa 350 and the work of its technical department that makes several modifications to the models so that they work perfectly in the low temperatures and at the altitude to which they were going to be subjected.

    They were 125 models, with some adaptation of the 92 model. The tank and seat kit from the Alpina was adapted and decorated as a Sherpa, in red, a new boomerang type silencer that was really a pre-series model, a larger diameter perforated crown, and compressed cylinder heads that did not help them much since the poor octane of Nepalese gasoline caused them more than one head problem.

  5. Looking at mods for this 1972 Sherpa T 92 to make it fit my novice ability.

    I have used ROX risers in the past on on my 701e Husqvarna (now sold)

    This type of rotatable riser allows the bars to reposition straight up rather than angle back with a stack type long bolt riser.

    I don't see any ability to lower pegs as the foot peg mount appears welded to the chassis.

  6. Always wanted to ride trials, but never have. My hobby is old motorcycle restoration, typically British. Past  years raced vintage MX on a 1967 Husqvarna 360, stopped in 2005.
    Now wanting to ride a 72 Sherpa T model 92. recently purchased a Sherpa Bultaco in progress, due finished by early 24. 
    I am 76" tall at 175 lbs and I have my first helmet from 1969 (no foam/all failed).

    I am concerned about being too tall for this sport on a vintage Sherpa. Also concerned about going back to kick start.
