Hi David, just a query on the success of your fibreglass Bultaco tank repair, did it need the fiberglass repair or just the top coat of paint. I have a Bultaco Tiron fibreglass tank that needs a similar repair

Hi Everyone,
So I decided to have a closer look at the all-aluminium :Bultaco: rear hub I posted up a photo of a couple of days ago. When I lifted it up for a better look I found another all-aluminium :Bultaco: rear hub hiding underneath.

Hi Gary, do you know if a TLR250 seat/sidecover combo fits on the 200? or could it be modified?. I am sure I have a fibreglass mould to make the 250 versions.

Does anyone out there have an original sidecover/sticker that could send me a good quality photo?

cheers

Hi David, thanks for posting this.
I have been reproducing a number of trials bike stickers for quite a few years now and have often wondered about the different fonts used in the TY red/black "250" in different countries.
All of my artwork is taken from NOS stickers or from actual bikes so that I ...
