I can't believe I can't give this away!
If nobody else wants, it I'll take it.
I wish we lived closer. This frame would make a great vintage race bike, any KTM motor 73 - 79 will fit and it is just like an early 74 frame. There have been posts on here before about making killer 400's out of this style frame.

is it a ahrma vintage legal frame? or is laydown only position? if its legal, i could certainly use it. thanks for any consideration. thanks, chi jer
If anybody besides me wants this frame, I can deliver it to Mid Ohio for you if you want.
Jerry, If this frame is what I think it is, it is just like a 73 or early 74 frame. Upright shock mounts, round rear frame tube, over the peg conical hub brakes. Should work as like design.

Here is a photo of the 76' 125 frame on my bike before restoration. It looks to me like a 73' Jackpiner frame was utilized, notice the rounded lower frame tubes under the engine. I believe all the other KTM engined bikes 250 & 400 have straight tubes that run parallel to the bottom engine case. This year 125 was definitely a transition bike and I have seen them with red watermellon tanks, green MX tanks and the more common orange GS tank. Cool bike to build but I had real problems locating an enduro exhaust pipe...took me 3 years to find one and even the one on the bike isnt correct, it's off a 77'.
