I raced at VMD last year (73 CR250M) and my daughter really liked all the Pentons. About a month ago she was home from school and asked if we could build one - so needless to say I jumped on the opportunity.
We are basically building a1974 175 from scratch. Any leads on good sources of parts would be appreciated.
I need a lot but right now looking for a rear conical hub (the one I have is cracked); kick start shaft, kick starter, shifter and frame stays.
Does anyone know someone that sells or can build a pipe? I have one that could be used as a pattern.
Your help is appreciated, I think we have officialy caught the Penton bug.
Mike I have a hub,are you looking for a NOS shift,kickstarter? If not AL has them, look on the supplier page.I have parts for your jack piner. You can call me 217 260 0237 Later Gary
Gary - Thanks I look forward to speaking with you.
Mike
Take care of that engine when you get her done. There are no more clutch plates, kick starter shafts available for the 175's so be gentle and have fun.
Kip - thanks for the heads up on the parts! We are looking forward to this project and look forward to posting pictures.
Mike I have a shifter and kicker I can send you by no means new but will work ok,can deliver to Diamond Dons

Mike there is a guy on ebay now parting off a 74 or 75 jackpiner project w/ a rear wheel/tire/sprocket assy refurbd and some other stuff. It won't be cheap at all to go this route but if you want a jump start maybe this will help. He might give you a break if you take over what appears to be a decent start. Welcome and Good luck!
