jezza Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Snr Greeves, Extended front exhaust pipe, not frame down tube. Exhaust pipe looks longer at the front than standard? Frame tubes at rear straightened where they meet rear mudguard. Lovely bike and what a beautiful setting to take the photos.

Frame tubes at rear straightened where they meet rear mudguard. Lovely bike and what a beautiful setting to take the photos. Sorry, my English is not so good, made a mistake. front exhaust pipe is strictly original but has been bended slightly to prevent it touching the modified tank and burning it. Maybe this makes it looks longer in the front. There is a gap of arround 1 cm. between the tank and the exhaust, normally this rebuilt (narrower) tanks touch the exhaust and at last loose petrol there. Pay attention to the swingarm......... Setting is in Segovia, lovely place indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big john Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 An "El Puma Racing" Bultaco does not come cheap my friend, plus you have to wait a long time for one! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot 3 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I hadn't thought of that! Big John He already has.......David and I talked about "the Legacy" before prefers the Impreza but can't wait to get his hands on the legacy..... you want to be careful next time he offers to make dinner and I'd avoid taking sugar in tea and coffee, his request about where he could get copious amounts of arsenic were slightly worrying...... Snr Greeves, that 340 is a very special looking piece of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony283 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well Greeves, That is one gorgeous Bultaco. Is that the one you want to trade for the Royal Enfield ? What was the bike Jon was riding ? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeves Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Did I ask a taboo question or something? Kinell you know you did. We all know about how much all this work cost, but here in Spain it is considered "rude" to tell the others . You have to options, first do them yourself (you will need good mechanical skills + time + tools + space + .......) and second let another person do it for you, in this last option you will need to add of course the working time of the mechanic, and good ones can be very expnsive. There is another sub - option, that is to take out the ideas you like from this bike and gradually introduce them in your bike. Cheaper than the other 2.
