I am selling most of my motorcycle collection. Due to work and a few health issues, I no longer have time to take care of and enjoy all of my motorcycles.
I spent a few years bringing this bike back to life. I had a lot of help from the great folks in this group. It is not all original. I had to buy some reproduction parts. I currently have a Mikuni carb on the bike. It runs and starts great. I have a Bing carb and Husky style air filter that will go with it. Any steeltanker spare parts that I have go with the bike (filters, cables, etc.). I installed a new seat pan, foam, and cover. New tires, chain, and sprockets. New grips. Magura ISDT covers and cable adjustors. Six bolt rear hub. New piston and rings. Started the bike a few days ago on third kick after sitting for two months.
After years of heckling from Bill Ryburn about not getting this bike running, I rode this bike at Barber last year with Bill. We got a lot of comments with the two steeltankers on the starting line. Bill went down on the first lap. I ended up riding a few laps. The bike rode great.
As you know, this bike was in one of the first containers of Pentons to America. This is a very low number Penton steeltanker. Bike number V0172. I saved it and got it back together. Now, it's your turn to enjoy it.
$5,000. Bill of sale only. Not titled. If you are interested in the bike, please let me know.
Thanks for looking.
