Wanted: 'original' rear guard for Sherpa T350 (151)
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 4:00 pm
Does anyone have an original rear guard for this 1975 model 151? Any condition, just so long as it is entire so I can mould/construct a fibreglass replica.
The original guard was the Bultaco "plastic" with cut-outs for the chain-guard and the exhaust silencer; and sufficient length for the taillight assembly/rubber mounting. I have fitted a new Gonelli brand, universal plastic guard which is OK for cosmetic looks but it is way too short to be effective to catch mud/dirt before the frame and rear of the engine is covered in "tyre-fling" & crud. Your help/advice/solutions/alternatives are welcomed. The alloy universal guard is listed at $330 and it not really 'correct' for this model which I'm trying to retsore to 'original condition'. Many thanks. Peter.
