Kip, Did you ever use that nos blue tank with the yellow cloth I traded to you? I sure would enjoy seeing a nice jackpiner of yours with that on it at VMD.

I picked up a new Jackpiner in June of '73 that had the small blue tank with the yellow cloth, high-rise bars and black front hub.

Did the yellow cloth come on the bikes until the change to the black and white vinyl tank stripes? I know the cloth really didn't last long and got crappy looking pretty fast.

What cloth are you talking about? A patch on the tank? This is a new Penton item to me.

Mark, the first Pentons I ever saw that came with the small mx tank had a yellow patch of cloth where the knees would rub. It was kind of triangular. If you refer to the back photo of the most recent Still Keeping Track, Doug W. is kneeling in front of a Jackpiner with just such a gas tank and yellow patch (although the picture is black and white). The bike in that picture has a heat shield with the holes in it, whereas the bike I bought in June of '73 had the slotted guard like that Hare Scrambler first came with.

Mike I just so happen to be putting together a "pretty" Jackpiner with that particular tank! It will resemble the one mentioned in the photo with Doug!

Thanks for the info. I saw that photo and just figured it was a two tone paint scheme that somone had put on their tank.
