Just scored a nice 1977 Penton MC5 400. The bike was a European delivery (Blue Tank, Blue/Yellow Side Covers) with white fenders. Previous owner used KTM Stickers on the tank.
From what I have read the larger GS6 tank was a West Coast option for us lunatic Desert Racers?
The Penton will sleep next to a 501 Maico, 1978 Bultaco 370 Pursang, C&J Racing Frame BSA B50MX, 1964 Triumph T100SC, Yamaha MX400, and a Rickmn B50MX.
Any one have a nice tank for a MC5 or a CS6 and side covers? In case I want to change the bike to look like a US delivered Penton.
.
Do you want a Orange MC5 Tank? I might have a large MC5 blue tank. The GS6 side covers won't fit very well on a MC5 frame.
Blue might be OK? Condition and price??
