Taco attracts a fair number of potential customers. A Shining Example of What a Small Company Can Do When Faced With Stiff Competitionīultacos draw the eye of an onlooker through a smooth blend of attractive purposefulness, a touch of polished metal here, a dab of bright color there. I love Husky Autos and I think that it could be a real weapon compared to other '77 model bikes, especially with a Mossbarger reed block and a Paul Rooney ported cylinder. I have one in bits, that I am eagerly waiting to find the time to put it back together. I don't have enough time to work on my bikes as it is, without having to do stupid stuff to modify them backwards from the way they left the factory.Īlso, if you wanted to consider another pre '78 model Euro big bore that is completely outside the square, a '77 Husky 390 AMX might be worth looking at, (if you could find one). It is a bit harder with my '77 CR390 Husky because to do it properly, if you reduce the length of the forks, you have to reduce the length of the shocks either by internal spacers or shorter shocks. The WP shocks have a shorter shaft stroke than the original Betors (but the same overall length) and give a touch under 9 inches travel in the rear. I had no intention of ever entering it in a national title event, while ever the 9 inch travel rule is in place, but I might reconsider it with this Monty, because I can drop the YZ forks down in the triple clamps and avoid changing the geometry of the bike with internal travel limiting spacers in the forks. I have fitted it with a YZ400D front end and a set of WP piggyback shocks, which seems to work pretty well. I hope to be taking it to CD10, if you are going there. John, you are welcome to have a skid on my '77 Montesa VB 360 anytime that I have it down your way. Nice handling & nice power but realistically they were a bit off the pace by 77 I would think. Took the factory another 4yrs to do it.īul gearchange is considerably longer than Jap if thats what yr used to, but easy enough to get used to. Notably, Floods were lengthening the swingarm 30mm in 74 I believe.
#BULTACO PURSANG SPECIFICATIONS MOD#
MK11 swingarm is about 30mm longer & is useful mod (if its legal) for more travel. Pivot is fairly hi in the frame too so the chain drags badly on top of swingarm if you just run longer shocks for more stroke. Rear suspension travel is somewhat limited on the pre78 Pursangs due to distance between swingarm pivot & c/s sprocket. Not sure if the 370 did too, but its likely. The 250 Mk10 went back to 35mm forks (from 38mm on Mk9) & 125mm front brake (from 140mm on Mk9) to save weight.
The Bultaco blood in my veins would love to say, Go Bultaco, but. Parts supply for Buls is excellent - probably best of all VMXers - & usually reasonably cost Got a feeling Vic Allen was still on one in UK too in 77 & doing fairly wellįloody left Bul for KTM in 76 (IIRC) but never went as well on KTMs, for various reasons. (Yes I know Mk10s came out in 77 but what he was riding in 76 was more or less a Mk10) Pomeroy was still doing well internationally on a MK10 in 76
