New Circle F pipe to replace leaky battered original. Forks were the best bit of the bike and only needed seals. Tank and side panels have been resprayed but they are safely away at my dads house right now. New steering head bearings and swinging arm bushes. 5 1976 - 77 Bultaco Pursang - Classic Beauty & Style - 1977 Bultaco 370 mark 10. Wheels fully rebuilt, rear hub relined, stainless spokes, new Pirelli tyres. Here is the progress so far.Įngine rebuilt, new piston, rod kit all bearings and seals.
1976 BULTACO PURSANG 360 FULL
So a full rebuild of the engine was required.Īs I went through the bike it was obvious it needed a full rebuild, so that is what I have been doing for the last 4 months or so. Complete chain tensioner for Bultaco Frontera and Pursang motorcycles, ready for assembly, includes the spring, screws, tread rubber, and tensioner body. Hoping all that would be required would be a new set of rings and some tyres, I took the top end down to find a knackered piston and bottom end. Went to view and it started up first kick. Here is a pic of the bike as I bought it.
Shift quality was a trifle lazy at the start of the test, but got progressively better as hours on the engine accrued. An exceptionally savage 250 will be necessary to hold El Bandido at bay. The following year Bultaco incorporated the colours in Pomeroy’s helmet -blue with white stripes- in the seventh development of the Pursang. I don’t know why Bultaco did this, but the 76 and later 125s were slower. In a drag race on pavement, the 370 would run even with an fast 1981 Husqvarna 430 I owned later. I bought a 1976 370 Pursang back in April, in need of a tidy up but a solid bike, or so I thought. Bultaco's plan to build a 360 that behaved like a 360 seems to have worked out. The 1977 Pursang 370 was no doubt the best open class production bike made in the 1970s.
