It's good to see a bike go to the proper guy, I just sold my DR600 Dakar to Tony T and that's the same deal....enjoy it. I have never owned a Bully but have a soft spot for a 76 250 Pursang.....it will happen one day. 8)

A UFO PLASTICS yz125 front guard and a Honda XR600 rear guard with an inbuilt tail light will fit perfectly. Have used them on my Matador and Montadero. Motorcycle accessories warehouse is where I went.

I definitely have a genuine complete air box for a model 85, Somewhere ::)
I shouldn't have cleaned out the pergola,
I reckon I would probably have more chance of finding the MH370 black box ::)

Well I thought the big search might have bought on early dementia or at the very least, insanity ::)
but I was saved, and kept interested by the amount of other great treasures  unearthed ;D
Anyhow, He, He, He,,,you can't hide!


I am feeling pretty confident at the moment 8)
Does anyone have any leads for me on Lasseter's lost reef?

How good is finding that Mick ;D I hope the rubber is still pliable, as it would be a shame to lose that embossed insignia.

Those hoses with the insignia are available as replicas. Mick what's that filter element made of?

The airfilter material is the original fuzzy nylon one.The best place for it is in the bin.You can buy replacement Uni filters to suit and the engine will last forever.

Yes Tony, it is a fuzzy nylon filter upon a closer look. And yeap, I be definitely getting one of the uni filters, thanks ;)

Yes Pete, It was a feel good moment when I found the air box :) a real good moment ;D And it is as pliable as new, with no cracks either ;D
I found some other really good original Bully stuff too, more to come on that when I get my hands on the bike :)
Which, I would like to take you up on the offer to grab it for me and bring it to Gloucester with you thanks Pete(I will be in touch).

The Bultaco cult thing seems to extend to one of the better parts reproduction supply networks around :)
Like David, Greg etc all indicate, all of the rubbers etc are reproduced to original specs. And Iain, I checked out the Sammy Miller stuff, great tips and leads thanks, Thanks fellas ;)
