if any one is looking at this bike, pay attention that the front forks and wheel are not from a penton. i'm surprised to see that the reserve is not met yet at 315$

The give away is the $500 deposit at the end of auction. Got a fairly high reserve.
This is the second time this KTM has been listed on Ebay. The first time it was listed for about 3 days of a 9 day listing, I believe. The high bid at that time was about $200. At that point, ALL bids were cancelled. I have never seen this happen before. About the next day, the same KTM was again listed on Ebay with a more detailed description, and likely a higher reserve price. I have not been able to identify the non-original front end. It looks like the entire front end has been replaced: triple clamps, forks, and wheel assembly. Almost forgot, included is the "matching" headlight assembly. Good luck bidding.
The forks resemble those found on an early SL Honda. I base this on the headlight mounts and their color. The fork brace i have never seen before.

Its a Yamaha front end, the brace is mounted where the stock Yamaha low fender mounted.
