Began working on my third Penton, a 1972 Six Day. It has a very nice after market pipe. It has a MFG. Sticker, Banke, Fort Worth Texas. Consists of a header pipe Approx. 10 inches in length then into a straight pipe which then passes over the carb and follows the path of a stock pipe. The pipe ends at the back side of the air box and is topped off with a aluminum end cap. Pretty sure this was manufactured for the bike since the mounting tabs are in the exact correct positions. Has any one heard of this Banke Pipes?
Scott, I used Banke back in 1973. If you decide to go with a stock pipe and sell the other please let me know.
Thanks,

Ron, Can you tell me any more about these pipes. I do not have any other pipe for the bike so I will probably be using it. It seems very nice.
Scott why don't we visit via phone. E-Mail me your phone # and I will call you. E-Mail

Banke used to make lots of performance pipes for mx and flattrack. They are still in business. http://www.bankeperformance.com/ They aren't in Ft. Worth anymore though. I would be willing to bet that if enough guys got together, they would build more of these pipes.
