Ron, your bike is beautiful I wonder if you would comment on the transmission statement. Do these bike have weak transmission? The reason I'm concerned be cause my bike will miss shifts frequently.

    Thanks Joe

Rod, my penton is in beautiful shape, engine was built by a penton guru out in Califorina his name escapes me now. The air box side number plate had to be replace and needs new paint. There is a small bubble of paint down by the right petcock. And the clutch seems to be fully adjusted to the end. Unless there is another clutch adjustment other than the clutch lever?? :-)It runs very strong and takes about 5-8 kicks to start it then takes a few minutes to warm it up  working the throttle back and forth. Wondering if it may have a slight intake leak??? The tank is made out of fiberglass. How much should we pay for a good tank? what to look for? weaknesses?
    Victor, I dont have a MX tank for sale just would like to buy an excellent toaster tank.  Please send me some prices for a very good condition toaster tank. Thanks for info Ron, will read thread   BYE

Hello POG members, yes I got another bike and I know it's a disease.
:-) Anyway, Does anyone know of a good motorcycle shipper that will pick up the bike in Illinois and deliver to the collective in Connecticut.
                 Thanks Joe K.

Jerry great advice I will be painting my frame

            Thanks Joe

Hello POG, looking at Italian made rim on ebay that came off a jackpiner. Would these fit my 72 six day.?  Type in penton rims and you can look at them.
    Any help would further my restoration effort on this 72 six day
                    Thanks Joe

Hello to all and thanks for all the great help on my Mx version six day. Now working on a 72 six day with toaster tank and seat already reconditioned. The PO sprayed the frame and it dosen't look to bad.    
    Again I ask the POGS advice, pro cons on whether I should powder coat etc etc?

    Thanks Joe

Just purchased a 72 six day off ebay with restored tank and seat and now I would like the POGS advice on where to buy rims, what type, or should I have the originals rechromed and put on stainless spokes then trued

Help, looking on Ebay at the jackpiner Is it worth it?  Or should I wait until a pog member is ready to let go of there jack.

Newbie here, love this site and just purchased a 1973 penton six day 125(motocross model?) small tank, it has no lights.  I would like to buy a toaster tank, any leads would be appreciated. What  year(s) tank can I buy? Also I need to repaint and wondered if anyone out there has a paint type/number? (green). I purchased the bike off ebay about 3-4 weeks ago.
     Last thing, is there an after market light kit for these bikes and eletronic ignition?

         Thanks Joe

Is there a web site to see all the bikes that were produced under the penton name. I'm interested in vintage racing, live near springfield mass and I'm trying to decide what kind of racing/riding to do? One thing I know for sure is I want to do it on a Penton!!!!

     Thanks, for any help
