Believable because back in 2003 a buyer in Vegas paid $7,400 for my 72 six day on Ebay. I never expected to get that much for the bike.

Kent hi, No I did not receive your email.
Email me direct please  [email protected]

DC Plastics has them  http://www.dcvmx.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17999&cat=322&page=1

Looks more like a 75 with the frame and side covers it has.

Charlie rode the red/maroon Desert phantom for two years in the ISDT, Qualifiers and New England Enduros. Because of him I had to eventually own the same machine

Make a good shriners bike.

My son is in North Dakota directional drilling a well there. He'll be headed back in about 3 weeks. He is meeting up with his pal from Alberta in a week or two. He could bring the bike back with him to Texas or drop it off for someone along the way.  Shouldn't be any problem getting it across the border since it's an american made bike. (should there?)

Or a Rokon or Ossa 350 Mountaineer.
Thanks!

So your looking for a 75 or 76 MC5 with a 5 or 6 speed transmission that has a lectron carb on it? And want to make a trade for a 79 Maico Magnum. I think the 75 was a CMF and the late 76's were MC5's. Your son races vintage?

I've got two of them off 1978 KTM 175 GS's   I think they are very similar to the mc's if not the same. Provide me your email and i'll send pics & you be the judge.

We all welcome you Cal. I think a lot of us have 125 six day pipes so you'll have many to choose from. I've got one that is excellent of a 75 six day that had low hours on it. If your interested I can send you pictures.

I have a 1976 125 MC5 and a 77 125 MC6. Anyone else ever hear of the MC engine having 6 gears? I've got a 34mm Lectron on my 77 and a bing on my 76. I belive that Penton ported the 77 cylinder to mild out the hit. Bothe bikes are much more enjoyable to ride with the 34mm lectron as compared to the bing.
I think w/the bing you need to make sure that you replace the slide, needle and brass needle jet barrel that holds the main jet on a regular basis or you will get surging which will be a falese indication and make you start looking for an intake or base gasket leak.
My 76 has about 60 hours on it since new. (guess b/c the original rear tire is 1/2 worn) and I've never had a problem with it. I'm surprised to hear about the problems with the 1976 125 engine. Growing up my freind Barry Avery had a 1976 125GS. He and his brothers rode NETRA Jr enduros and trail rode it for 3 seasons before ever replacing the rings.
