February 9, 20179 yr Stops the frame from bending the stock head steady normally crack unless you weld a steel brace on the underside.
February 10, 20179 yr you probably have the tab on there anyway, it triangulates the head steady rather than one point. Whats the frame number? Femsa or motoplat ignition? I'd swap lever perches over left to right so upside down Rear sprocket should be 39
February 10, 20179 yr Mines on motoplat but I do have a spare FEMA flywheel if I wanted to put a electronic ignition on it. Also I had the tab welded on mine as there was none think my B is 1 off the early ones 82 - 83 Edited February 10, 20179 yr by bondy
February 10, 20179 yr My 199a has the fork type head steady fitted, if I replace this with a triangular 199b type steady would this fit the rear bracket the same as now with only a front tab needed as on Bondy's bike which is pictured above.
February 10, 20179 yr Yes I have 1 on my 199A just need the tap welding on however the kit that you buy as to be fitted on the bike why you weld the tab on also all bikes are no the same the bracket has to be twisted and bent into shape to fit each bike but not hard to do.

February 11, 20179 yr To fit the triangular head steady you also need the T bracket that bolts to the head and these are a different size for 250/350 because of stud spacing

February 11, 20179 yr Interestingly the Puma and Vasquez built bikes I have seen are usually fitted with the fork type and sometimes a strip from the head to the frame down tube, anyone know why this is. Surely the triangular three point fix one would be better.
