Yes they did the forks too. But the springs came from Cannon Racecraft in oklahoma city. I am very pleased with the whole setup.It's probably my favorite mx bike of everything I've owned since 1966.  KTM didn't cut any corners when they built the MC5 engine and frame,and the short comings in the suspension can be corrected easily with todays technology. Thanks for the nice comment on the bike.    Gary

That is one fine looking bike. Does a stock tank hit the pipe? How much did it cost? Did the muffler come with it? I currently ride a 76 mc5 250 with a fox pipe. It is very similar,but shorter on the back end. This setup looks like it would produce great bottom and mid- range power.I am setting up a 74 H.S.for vintage mx and don't like the power characteristics of the stock pickle pipe.You just motivated me to continue on with the 74. Thanks for the great description and pictures. My mc5 is on the RaceTech web site if you want to see it.     Thank Again     Gary

Try Cannon Racecraft Inc. in oklahoma city. I've had good luck with them.       Gary

Gussets on the frame look hand made.They are straight sided instead of smooth curves like the production ones. The ones by rear of tank are missing. Rear shocks have chrome dust covers ,unlike production models. Exhaust tip has three springs instead of bolts. It has old style magura levers like the gas pipe frame models.The front fender has a deeper dish than the 72 production model.                      I would guess this is a early 72 prototype.    gary   king

I would like to know what kind of pipe is on Cory's penton on the cover of the fall issue of Still...Keeping Track ,so I could buy one.Any body know it would be greatly appreciated.  thanks Gary King:)
