Been wanting to post pics here for years.  The 400 has less than 500 original miles and has a lead tag safety wired from the jug to the frame.  The tag reads "Jack Pine Run"   Anyone have any specific details of what this tag signifies?

Thanks,

Kurt

Wow, what a nice clean bike - congrats! It obviously has very few miles - the non-folding shift lever is still intact!

Have you had it for years - or is it a wonderful find?

I never rode the Jackpine, but 2 day Qualifiers (& the ISDT) used tags like you described at tech inspection to ensure that certain parts were not changed.

Cool collection of Rock posters in the background too.....

Awesome.  Would love a closeup pic of the speedo mount where it attaches to the bars or triple whenever convenient.  Regards, John

Thanks for the compliments.  I've owned the 400 for about 15 years.  Had a nice collection of Pentons but this one is special to me.   I'll try to get a shot of the speedo mount tonight.

Here's a shot of the old collection.
