        They did indeed put similar to these on Bultacos - Sherpa and Pursang post about late 70s (earlier had Mk1s). Different internals as you might expect for a stroker. Plus the last of the 'proper' British bikes wore Mk2s. And don't forget the now completely unavailable Mk11/2s - they were only fitted for a short period and were a pointless exercise in my opinion, other than as a testbed for the new choke system I suppose.

        These particular ones for sale are the Mk2 smoothbore version and quite a big improvement over the standard version - and about ?50 more per unit. This set new is around ?850 so the guy is under selling.
