Hello Poggers,
Finally after many years - it's done.
Here are some pictures of my replica of a 1975 Hiro Penton 125 MX.
I did every bit of the build myself, except for the white pin striping on the side panels.
In the last 20 years of playing with Penton motorcycles, I have no doubt this is my finest work yet, start to finish.
Thanks for this group, I appreciate every one of you.

Mr. Carbaugh, I'm happy to hear that ! It was many moons ago, that you supplied me with this NOS engine - and I will always appreciate, and remember that.
Bob you are such magic with metal. I still have some custom Motorcycle Stands you built many years ago. If you go to sell it let me know. I hope you are doing well.
Ron Carbaugh
Very Nice! Did your original have lay down shocks?
Dennis Jones
Bob,
That is one nice looking bike. You did a wonderful job, as you always do. Thanks for sharing the photos.
For those of you who do not know Bob, he is an artist when it come to metal work and bike restorations. ;)
Alan Buehner
Dennis, thanks very much. No I used an updated frame (by one month) and suspension on this bike. My original was the earlier frame, with shocks forward mounted on the swingarm, nearly vertical, and blue Gas Girling shocks.
Thank you Alan, that means a lot to me. Like many of my Penton projects, I couldn't have done without your help.
