I have a model 92 Sherpa 325 which I have spent a lot of time working on and refurbishing ready for the winter. However the frame is bent under the headstock and also has taken a big hit to the underside at some time. I would like to replace it with a frame the same, I think my serial number is about 900 or 1000. Wil any 91 / 92 mk1/mk2 frame fit okay with all my existing parts / 325 engine? Can anyone point me in the right direction for one (Ideally I'd like to keep it all 92 model) Thanks

I have spent 2 hours today removing all the remaining bodyfiller from the tank, someone had tried to reshape it for some reason but its back to how it should be with only one dent to refill. I have been given this rolling chassis as a donor, the wheels and forks are good and the talon sprocket is almost new. When I cut the shock mounts off do I just weld the stubs onto the seat rail? seems a bit crude to me!

thanks for the advice. It does indeed have 434 stamped on it. Will a later twinshock ty250 swingarm fit as the current one has a hole worn though it from what looks to have been a MX tyre rubbing against it! It has the mudgaurd bracket but the silencer one is missing.

I have a very old twinshock TY250 in 1000 bits intending to "do someothing with"! - The frame is missing a few lugs from the look of it - what is missing from the right of the first photo? - I want to fit a new footrest kit to it - is there anything missing that wouold stop me from doing so on second photo, and where is best to get a kit - looking for something bolt on preferably, I got one from miller 10 yrs ago for my 175 so similar would be good. - I want to do the majesty mod and lay the shocks down, anyone any photos of the gusseting involved? I was told the mounts are just welded straight onto the seattube? - It has a Majesty alloy tank (although the bike obviously isnt a majesty, tank came from a breakers, they thought it was a fantic tank so it was practically free) How does this attach to the frame, it has the rubber lugs at the front which locate into the frame but nothing whatsoever to hold it at the back. many thanks

Sorry, yes I`m in the UK A lot of the bike is totally worn out, I think it had a hard life. It did have a later exhaust fitted when I got it, totally rotten off a model 199 as the bike came with a spare set of forks from a 199 still with the headstock attached, obviously easier to lop it off than unbolt it! I`m not worried about originality on the exhaust front, I actually prefer the later one peice one. The bike never had a silencer when I got it and the bracket has been removed so I was intending to use it as is As well as the 199 exhaust it has an earlier front wheel with rear mounted brake lever, and it also had an earlier rear wheel with smaller diameter spindle. I think these wheels came from a model 27 as it came with a M27 250 top end in a box spare. I bought a proper 92 back wheel years ago for it but I guess I could just use the older front wheel. I have the slimline seat base but no foam or cover, I guess I could make a foam and cover? I`ll sort photos out later!

I'm determined to actually get this 325 model92 going again, I've had it for 11 years and not a lot has got done to it. I'm in need of a fair few parts for it, I half wonder whether to abandon it and get a complete one. In reality it shoudlve been scrapped years ago! Its good points are the motor is excellent, its road reg, and tax exempt! I need: Exhaust Front wheel Swingarm spindle Seat for slimline tank brake pedal gear lever Chain guard chain tensioner Any pointers on breakers? I dont have time to trawl ebay. Or does anyone here have any of the above surplus? I'll post some photos of it tommorrow. Thanks

Reminds me of my long term unfinished project, I have a model 92 bultaco I bought complete as a wreck in 1998 for
