I'm looking for a centerstand & a front fender brace for my 68 berkshire--I'd like to get my parts in order&complete before I start the big ressurection-also a question on hardware-can i get a full nut & bolt package anywhere or should i part store the pieces individually ?
thanks ,Rob Card

Reproduction center stands for the early Pentons are on the drawing board, Al Buehner will have them when Karl at CustomMetalFab gets time to make a few. What is the number on your 68 frame at the steering head? It will be V-0000 The early 68 had a narrow front fender bracket later some where in the 69 year they became wider. Can't help on finding one now, keep an eye on e-bay Check with the parts listed people. I know of no one that sells a complete nut and bolt package. Most all metric sizes are available in local hardwares or fastener companies.

Doug-thanks for the info on the centerstand.
I'll put in an order with Al.
I believe my serial # is "v973"-I even have the original headlight if it was a cev unit.
Do you know if the tail light was a generic unit or if it was made just for pentons?
When I start buying bolts,I'll put together and post a list of all sizes that are used-I have a friend who's a Fastenal rep-he may be able to help in regards to setting up a base bolt pack--probably all but the swingarm and axle bolts
thanks-rob
V-+three numbers would indicate a late 1968 or early 69 it was probably sold as a 69 The fender brace would most likely be the tubular narrow one. Good Luck and have fun.
