Tom,
  Beautiful.  I like the orange trim on the front and rear fenders and the low wind resistant front number plate.  Another home run.[:p]

A "masterpiece" no, geeze Augie, it's just a dirtbike.
For the particulars:
Frame: 703.xxxxxxxxx (high breather)
Motor: (74/175)
Pipe: "Ace" with custom Supertrapp, tho from a 250
Paint: Bright Tangerine
Decals: Randy Kirkbride, Skip Miller
Kill Switch: combo from K&S
Fork tube/tripletree/airbox paint: Duplicolor Cast Aluminum DE1650 (D.Jones)
Engine paint: Duplicolor "Pewter" (G.Ellis)
Rear fender: D. Sanders
There is more to the story.......often enough, I talked to G.Ellis about the carb 32mm Bing, and to the pipe "torque vs Ace"

Listen to where, your adventures begin! They begin in your shop
These "Pentons", they are yours.......
