This is the 1975 Sixday I've been building for a friend for the past year or 3. Just wanted to show a couple pictures I took of it, before it shipped out.

Beautiful Rob!! Reminds me of my beloved '74 gs.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff. Yeah the '74 and this, there were'nt many differences. This (Dec '74) is the last run of Sixday models ever made. I love it. I have one more frame like this.
Wow that sure is purdy. I'm sure your friend is going to love that!

Tim,
Kip and i had this conversation at Mid-Ohio about these 75 125's and we could only come up with about 10 to 12 known bikes in current times counting Rob's 2 bikes, there couldn't have been many built,
Rob and i can find frame #'s from 11/74 to 1/75 i believe from the last time we talked about them as well,
if anyone can shed a little more light here on the build total please do :-)))
i have one and mine is 11/74 build date,
regards,
Mike Gallagher, NJ.

Thank you Kent, and Sean.
Mike, I don't remember any 501xxxx's, I thought they were either 411's or 412's.
Brian, You'll be at the top of the list if I ever decide to. I'm feeling it's 'a keeper '. Maybe a ' Hiro powered/ 200mm forks - keeper '.
Randy, Your's is looking great! Karl S has a beautiful one also.

Robert,
i believe you are correct, 4/11 and 4/12's
it would be cool if we got photos of the few that are still around and a list of their owners,
i believe Uncle Ronnie has one :-))
and Mr.Penton has one that never had gas in it,
Mike Winter, when you have time take a pic of mine and post it here for me, this will be a before photo in it's resto process :-))
OK, who else has one ??

This could go in the wanted/for sale forum, but it corresponds with this topic also.
So after years of developing a intake manifold for the "D" cylinders, I made some up that function very well with the stock 28mm Bing.
I understand there's a pretty small market for a part such as this, I filled the need of the 3 or 4 I needed, and I have 7 extra made which are available, and for sale.
These will not be reproduced again, because the cost to produce outweighs what the market will bear. I would just like to recoup some of my costs back, so I am selling them for $50 + $5 shipping (U.S.)

Includes 1)A - 2)B's - * NO C's - 1)D & 1)E
* After I found and purchased the 50mm/ 2" Norma thin hose clamps, I discovered that the worm gear is made of a softer material that when slightly over-tightened, strips the threads. So, you will have to come up with your own clamps.
Thanks very much, Bob
These work great.I'll take another Rob,when you have time shoot me an email with your address(you have mail) and i'll send the dinero$$$.
Thanks,Ric
Rob,
I'd like to get one.
Thanks,
