There was a new reproduction that looked good on ebay that didn't meet reserve. You can contact the owner. I have done business with him before with positive results. Look it up on completed items.

Kimbal,

I don't know if the seat pan that Ron mentioned is the one that you need if your bike is indeed a 1968, it is the long seat pan for a later model as stated by the seller of the seat and copied below.

Description: seat pan for 1969 to 1971 Penton "steel tank"

A lot of the 68 Pentons use a shorter seat.

If you can discribe how your seat bolts on, or provide your frame number, maybe we can help figure what seat you need. Or take a picture of your seat area and email it to one of us.

This link should take you to a picture of a 1968 with the short seat. http://gallery.pentonusa.org/gallery/album06/DSC09438

Hope this helps.
Paul

Several years ago, I had the 68/69 seat bases remade through RPM Racing in CA. Roger M made them from fiberglas and did a fantastic job as they include the seat bolts molded into the base. Drop me a email at [email protected] and I can give you a contact number from my vendor book so as you can obtain a base. NOW, I am in need of seat foam for the 68/69 seat bases, anyone have any suggestions? CIAO;)

I appreciate all of the help guys. That's one of the great things about POG; everyone is so willing to offer help and advice. My bike is frame number V716 and had the short seat on it. Or I should say, the remnants of what used to be a short seat.

Thanks again!
