Title: 1977 Penton 175 GS-6 Project for sale
Post by: 454MRW on May 29, 2012, 10:08:05 AM
1977 Penton/KTM 175 GS-6 Enduro in mostly original condition, requiring a complete restoration. I have remocvd the head and cylinder and there is slight surface rust on the cylinder requiring boring oversize and probably a rod kit due to slight rust on the top rod boss from storage, but bottom of crank looks rebuildable and rotates easily. The front engine mount case area looks like JB weld or an ugly weld repair has been done and needs cleaned up. Entire bike needs restoration, but it has some nice condition desirable items like the small GS-6 tank and pipe with a Super Trapp type silencer. I am asking $500.00 which is $100.00 less than I have in it including transportation and since I don't have the time to put into restoring it and I don't want to part it out. I can deliver within a 500 mile radius for gas money. Email for additional pics Thanks, Mike Newton IL. 62448
I have this listed on Marks Swap meet page also.

Thanks Larry, found a correct swingarm for the centerstand so don't need a side stand now.  Dave, the air boot is quite different than the ones offered on Ebay but thanks for the thought!  Coming along nicely!
