April 13, 200620 yr I might be able to find out what conversion Mick Whitlock did to the bikes for you when I see him tomorrow,(He's my dad) still making trials bikes but not whitehawks any more! I'll see what I can find out for you!
April 13, 200620 yr On the subject of modified 340's, anyone know anything about these? Seem to be a few around in Spain, known as Bultaco "Puma" ????? Martin
April 14, 200620 yr Looks like a "Bitza" mostly 340 frame etc, earlier exhaust tailpipe could be a 340 or a 325 engine hard to tell from a piccy. Brake and gearlever swaped over but thats just rider preference using earlier parts again. Guess somebody has found a source of old parts or has had some "remade" but not all as 199B. Wish i could get a front pipe, genuine 340, for mine as only 325 ones seem available withought getting one made using mine as a pattern. Same with side stand.

April 15, 200620 yr Probably, I am moving house so will catalogue it all and see whats there, mail me if there is anything you need specifically

He doesnt have any side stands either. If you have either please let me know. Thanks

I am looking to get my leg over again after 20 odd years, my bikes were, TY175 then Bultaco 250 and lastly SWM TL320 (sleeved down to 250 for youth trials). I am looking for just the type of bike you are all discussing, can any of you help ?? Would not mind how rough it is as restoring would be half the fun. Would like to get my hands on a Bultaco and SWM (I have already spoken to Martin Mathews about the SWM) Look forward to your replies and to getting back in the saddle !!
April 16, 200620 yr Welcome to the loony bin Brian You may struggle to get hold of a Bultaco 199b as the 340 6 speeds dont come up for sale that often. When they do they tend to be around the
