Hi Chaps I have a 198b owned from new and unrestored apart from a tank repaint following a bit of prang in the late 80's (and managing to get the replacement decals ex Sammy miller in the wrong place) I had the wheels respoked with stainless spokes about 15 yearrs ago by Hagons - I added a set of sticky michs about 3 years ago (I still have the Pirelli originals - look like new but hard as a rock) and a new set of falcons this year. other than that it's exactly as I bought it. Ride wise I only ever use 1st and occasionally 2nd - its 5 speed and even 3rd is a bit high with 4 and 5 useless other than on the road. How do I insert pics? Paul Mac

I'd stick with the 10/30 - if it aint broke, don't try to fix it... Paul Mac

Good mark sideup - I join you in hoping he and his are well paul mac

Hi. I asked the same question when i got mine and i was given a link to 3 pdf files. I dont remember the link but if you give me your email i can send them to you. Try this http://www.scorpaaustralia.com/Tech.html Paul Mac

Hi Old Mate - any info on new shoes would be much appreciated - I was fettling my 198b for the Masters Games at the weekend - spent 3 hours on the brakes and managed an improvement that lasted all of 10 minutes... let's hope the sections are all uphill on the 10th Paul Mac

I've just gone for a set of 350mm Falcons on my 198b - best of both worlds I think - I'll let you know how they go - next event 20 May Paul Mac

Hi Mate I've emailed the docs let me know if they don't arrive Best regards Paul Mac

Let me have your email and I'll send you copies

Didn't GOV 132 go up in smoke when the National Motor Cycle Museum burnt down a few years ago?

Slightly off topic I know but speaking of mono bults here's one made by a guy over here (sadly can't remember his name) I believe he made a few of these. This one was for sale a couple of years ago - wish I'd bought it simply because it's different. Good post by the way Guy's. It's interesting to get the gos on the last bikes (I have a stock 198b that's the second love of my life) Paul Mac

I guess that's the conundrum, I

Seeing all these pics has spurred me on to restore my 198b so thanks Nigel, Woody and Big John for the inspiration, but I have a question that I hope you might be able to help me with. It

The motor area of the pic looks like it might be a CAD drawing?

No probs Better to be positive rather than negative I say... Paul Mac

Bravo Howard Paul Mac

Hi Howard Glad to see you got it started - had us all a bit worried hiding behind the van by section 2 there... but how did it go, should I start saving my dollars and being a model husband for a few weeks... Paul Mac

Try old fashioned Dubin - works on my Novogars a real treat But it's not as much fun as mark boy's solution... Paul Mac

Nice thread Ringo

Now come on Ringo - don't go all 'Fantic' on us... Paul Mac

Do I sense and old fight brewing? (But I could be wrong of course... just guessing) Paul Mac

Dito Old trials fanatic - so I've been living a lie all these years ah well - its still the best old iron I've had my paws on so I can live with it... Paul Mac

Hi Nigel Agree about the tank stickers - forgot that youngest son pranged it and repainted tank, a Ford blue but can't remember the exact colour, he slapped the transfers on the wrong spot - I do have another set though I don

Hi Sherpa Mine are the same - have been for 15 years now and I'm sure I'll have to do something soon but the best fix is to have the drums machined and a liner fitted. Most of the Bultaco spares guys do the mod try Hughs on your side of the pond. Only prob is it adds weight to an already porky bike, that's the reason I haven

Many Thanks Woody - I'll try 190cc of 10 grade to start ( I'm a bit porky) Paul Mac
