Title: Now something entirely different
Post by: rob w on November 20, 2012, 10:17:19 AM

There are all different forms of motorcycle competition. But who here has considered Hill Climbing on a Penton. Probably no one.

These are 8" swing arm extensions. For use with a 1979 KTM swingarm. This swing arm fits all KTM powered Penton / KTM frames from '72 to '79. In some cases you need to machine clearance between the back of the engine cases, and swing arm.
Designed to be easily removable, but also locks together securely, and strong. Overall from swing arm pivot to rear axle is 28 1/2 / 29" ".
Race tested and proven. These won a few Michigan State Hill Climbing Championships, in class.

There's a few up here, nothing to brag about. I would'nt plan my next ski vacation in Ohio, either. :D
Eastern Kentucky is the nearest place I know to find some good size trail riding hills.

That's cool Mike. Never heard about Lee's bike, or have seen that picture before. Thanks

I wonder how well they would hold up doing Cart wheels down the "Monson Monster". I see a suspect weak point !!
