parky50 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hey folk's.... Here's some links to my BULTACO SHERPA 199A that I just restored for riding purposes. I think it turned out FANTASTIC, not a museum piece, just a real classy rider !!! Happy Trials until next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bambam_n_chunx Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Very nice but if you arent using the fox shocks I would, perhaps you might PM me about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parky50 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) So which blue did you use, and from? It's Rustoleum Sky Blue... the bike started out about 4 different shade of blue. I just went with that and painted all pieces, frame, tank, fenders and side plates to match. Edited July 8, 2009 by Parky50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parky50 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Very nice but if you arent using the fox shocks I would, perhaps you might PM me about them. Actually those are the FOX Shocks... I painted them to be more original to the bike. I did order some new shocks as these Fox's are pretty tired. I'll shoot ya a PM if I decide to sell them.

bob abell Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 looks good, Fox Shox should be mounted with the chamber at the top as they were on your bike originally. I have these on my 199A as well. Also if you rotate the kick start lever forward on the spline a notch or two, you will get a bit more engine rotation before the kicker hits the footpeg. Where did you get the new fenders and the tank decals? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hi Bob, Thanks for compliment and the tip on the Shox !!! I'll get them flipped over ASAP. The new fenders came with the bike and the decals I ordered from Hugh's Bultaco Motorcycles, they carry the fenders and a whole load of other stuff too.

no jive Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I am more amazed that you got the bike painted with it all together. Looks like some blue splotches (4th picture) on the grass It does look nice. Edited July 9, 2009 by No Jive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parky50 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Seen the Che-Zed in the back too, you are now confirmed! CZ-400 MONSTER !!! Yup, she is next on the list !!! I have had it since the early 80's and have had lot's of great times with that bike. It should be a fun restoration. I have to find the broken shift lever spring and replace that... hope it's not too far in the case !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
