Hi Everyone, Just a quick intro from new Penton owner here. I purchased a 1974 Jackpiner @ the Barber swapmeet. Really looking forward to getting this together to use in Ahrma Cross Country events next year.

The frame is @ powder coat, Racetech emulators, springs & seals have just arrived & am now shopping for shocks & have my name on the list for a new pipe (here). Would welcome any advice/recommendations on setting up for a successful woods campaign.
Appreciate all the wisdom here. Thanks for the great site!

Congratulations on becoming a Penton owner. Al is a wealth of info and helped me with my 1974 Hare Scrambler. If you are still stock ignition, I seriously recommend the Powerdynamo. My little Penton cranks on the first kick every time. I also installed Works Performance shocks. Contact the company direct, they will ask you all kinds of questions and build you a custom tailored set. I also had my original pipe thermal plated, looks great and doesn't rust. And don't forget the Preston Petty fenders.
