Have just returned from my fiberglass specialist where I saw the first repops for the 1980 MX model. The first is the MX fender, this is the one with the integrated numberplate, second are the MX side panels, I will include the multi-colored swipe for the side panels.
Also talked to Andy @ ACE pipes and I am sending him a 76/77 MC5 MX pipe for a jig (I needed one anyway) Andy is a great person to talk to...I will try to post pics of the fiberglass parts to my website by this w/e....Have a wonderfull "Independance Day"
DKW,
Thanks for spearheading yet a couple more outstanding projects. Your enthusiasm and energy level is impressive. Thanks.

Thanks Mike!!! Coming soon are fiberglass repos of the Falk enduro rear fender! This fender has a Marque in it's history, and I feel that even tho they will be in fiberglass, it has it's merits. Luckily I ran into one at a cheap enough cost. The benefits of fiberglass are:
-ability to paint
-can be repaired
-won't yellow due to age
Heck, white has always been the one, but now we get something to "customize"...
This is one that I have wanted to do for a very long time. I hope to have parts avail. in two weeks (mid Aug.)
Greetings from rainy Colorado[^]
Tom,
Is the GS fender you are having made the one that fits the 81/82 models? If so, I'll take a couple.
Tom,
Do you happen to have a ballpark price on the repo fiberglass Falk rear fenders yet? Can you give us the link again to your website?
Thanks,
John Cappel
Cappy, the link to my website is under "suppliers" on our home page...
Thanks.....
Hello All!!! and greetings from Colorado...I stopped by my fiberglass specialist and saw the mold for the Falk enduro fender, looks pretty good, should have fenders by 8/6...Also, Randy K. sent me a photo of one of my vintage headlight shells painted and mounted on one of his bikes, looks very impressive! How come my parts always seem to look better on anothers? Well he and I are also working on a "curved" Penton decal for the headlight shell...Adios for now, will keep you posted...Go "Pentons"
Greetings from Rainy Colorado again (drought stumper). I picked up two repos of the Falk fender and they turned out P.D.G.
For the months of Aug. and Sept. I will discount any of my parts by 10% with the proceeds going to POG...BFN!!!
Hello and greetings from the Mile High City! As an addition to compliment the Falk enduro rear fender, I located a NOS Falk front #267 and will be reproducing them as well. I also have the same fender in MX size which is slightly smaller and skinnier. Both should be available in 2 to 3 weeks. Pics are now posted to my website (except for the MX version)...Adios, and "Go Team Penton"
Falk "MX" front fender is now available, have posted to my website, should look mighty fine paired with the KTM aluminum front fender brace. Thanks Guys and "go" Team Penton...
Hi Tom,
I just wondered if you received the prototype of the curved Penton sticker for the headlight? I sent it out a couple weeks ago??? Let me know & I can send you another if it's lost.
Randy
Nice job Tom, please bring some of those to the Reunion, I'll pick mine up there.
I just learnt me this- DKW stands for "Das Kleine Wonder" meaning, "the little wonder"......somewhat fitting ?
Randy, I got the curved decal and it looks great, would be nice if it were on a clear background instead of white etc....Did you get your PC back up and running?
Tom,
Yep, everythings back up & runnin fine. I'll see if we can get some samples with the clear backround.
Rob W. your definition of DKW is very flattering and sounds a whole lot better than "shorty" [8D]
Will brings lots o fiberglass to Tulsa...Adios!!!
Yet two more might be coming our way, they were found in the local area:
1st. is a set of NOS 1977 GS6 side panels (three hole mtg.) complete and equipped with Anniversary decals (sorry can't replace the decals)
P/n 55.06.041.500 LH
P/n 55.05.175.500 RH
2nd. is a set of somewhat rare 78 GS6 side panels (three hole mtg.)
does this not prove that there was a 78 GS6?
In any case, I am prepared to reproduce both, they have their place in history.
On the horizon, besides a new presidant, is this great opportunity
to meet in Sand Springs......
The relationship between you and you motorcycle is phenominally important
I thinks it's better on a Penton......
It's OK to post, we have no moderator, other than ourselves....
Thank You for your time......
