First help me identify this KTM.
It's a red frame/white tank,fenders,panels, 400 MC5...Is it a '78 or '77?
(Aren't '77's silver frame/orange tank?)
Second, are the parts interchangeable with my '77 Penton 400 GS6?
Steve it sounds like a 78, maybe.
Donny
Sounds like a 78 though the frame should be orange and not red.
Are the parts interchangeable between the 78 400 MC5 and the 77 400 GS6....?
I have found that one man's Red is another man's Orange (or even Brown!) Sun fade can make some colors hard to describe accurately. Check for the best paint under the tank where it's not faded.
