Hello all! Been away and off line for a bit and finally got another trials bike, a 1978 model 199 Sherpa! bike runs great but is a bit cosmetically challenged right now. Has new red fenders and blue side panels from Miller, I believe. Tank is original and faded - may try some of that fancy new plastic paint on it...... anyway, this is the first trials bike I have owned, and I've had about all of them, that has the shifter AND rear brake pedal on the right! Looks like a dirt tracker! If memory serves, the bikes came equipped with a spindle on both sides.I found the left side spindle - covered with a plastic cup. I read an old dirt bike mag that said the bike's left shift setup was not great as you were limited to shift pedal angle.... looks to be true. I may go ahead and get a brake pedal for the left side as the cable setup for a right brake looks like a rube goldberg design. Does Miller have a left side brake kit? Brian Robison: you still out there? You graciously sent me a free base gasket for a Honda Reflex a couple years back..... Look forward to visiting this site again. Brian
