trials09 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hello All I have a M199A Frame that has been modified for a sidecar. The Wheelbase has been shortened about 3". Mt grand plan is to undo the mods and put back to standard. Would someone please comfirm the correct wheel base, I have 51.7" I am also after some pictures of a bare frame, particuarly around the steering head. I think the frame is worth restoring it would be a shame to scrape it. Regards Trials09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 This is the best picture I have for the frame on my M198. The steering head detail will be the same as what your M199A should be like. I will take some bare frame pictures on the weekend if no-one else has before then Regards David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 There is a 198a frame, which is the same, for sale on ebay UK which you can look at. The picture isn't the best but you can still see the headstock area. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BULTACO-1970S-TRIALS...=item2eaa7fee14 Also a 199 frame which you can see the headstock on more clearly http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1978-sherpa-350cc-pr...=item33598f16cd Wheelbase would be between 52 and 53". It's unusual they have shortened it for a sidecar, usually they are lengthened on the swingarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomey68 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Here are some close up frame shots of a M199-A. Ignore the cracks and color :-) Hope this helps. I can get you different angles if needed. Edited February 3, 2010 by gomey68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
