October 24, 200817 yr Just spotted this on ebay 340 Bulto For all those observant ones amongst us, its a Mono. Now I think this one may have originated from down in the Wessex centre, as I can remember a local rider who did the conversion using a Fornales air shock from the first model JCM. The bike was tested in TMX by Martin Strang, Geoff Parken and Nibs Kellet. Unless anyone knows different Martin
October 24, 200817 yr Hi Martin, Yes, I did have a good look at this particular bike on e-bay two nights ago. I do remember such a project to try and keep a Bultaco competitive amongst the newly arrived Yamaha TY250R/Fantic Prog 1 etc etc. I think it was done around 1985/86. Other than that my memory is vague! Big John
October 26, 200817 yr I don't know how common they are around the world but there was one a bit like that in our club until 2 years ago when he finally got sick of my complaining and converted it back to being a lovely, standard, M198A. As a monoshock it looked hideous to my eyes, having USD forks from an early 1990s Fantic and a modified Pursang swingarm and front and rear disc brakes. The linkage mechanism and shock were from a TY250N.
