Hi Rich:

     Were you able to come up with any pictures of the 400?  I live in Columbus and am racing at Mid Ohio so pickup is not an issue.  Thanks for any info.

Ron:

     Do you still have the gas tank and is it 1.8 gal. MX version?  Also, do you still have the 74.5/'75 250 MX pipe with pickle silencer?  I am racing the '75 250 I bought from you last summer at Mid Ohio in Sportsman 250 Intermediate.  Pre entries were posted today and there are 47 of us in this class.  Should be fun.  I could pickup stuff at Mid Ohio if you're coming.  Thanks for the info.

Hi Doug:

     I am building an MC-5 currently.  What parts do you have available?  One thing I am missing is a pipe but may be interested in other parts.  Let me know.  Thanks, Dave

Thanks Tom.  I think you may also be the guy that makes the fiberglass parts as well.  I am in need of a set of side panels for this same bike, '76 MC5 250.  Kip Kern said to check with you.  Send me an email regarding how much you want for the airbox as well as the side panel info and I will send you a check.  Thanks.  Dave

Thanks for the info.  Teddy, I will give you a call.

Dave

Found a '76 MC5.  Thanks.

Hi Ric:

     The one I have has the chrome tip.  I will shoot some pics and send them to you this week.  The pipe is in really good shape with the exception of a few dents on the top of the silencer area.  How they got there I have no idea as I just bought the bike.

Dave

Thanks Larry.  I am looking forward to getting up to speed and meeting lots of folks,

Hi Dave,

Welcome to POG.  Nicest people in the world here.  A mountain of technical expertise, too.

Hi,

     I am building a 1975 Penton 250 to race Sportsman 250 AHRMA motocross with and am trying to determine the stock shock length for this bike and the correct upper and lower mount positions to keep it legal regarding the 4" travel rule.  Thanks for all input.

Hi:

    I am looking for a stock magnesium airbox for a '76 MC5 250.  The guy who had the bike before I got it had hacked off about an inch where the rubber boot meets the airbox from the carb in order to clear some monster carb.  Also, does anyone know the correct silver frame color for this bike?  I would like to powder coat and get it as close to the stock color as possible.  Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know who sells the Lectron carb/ parts?  I just picked up a '76 MC5 250 and was thinking about running a 36 or 38mm Lectron on the bike.  Thanks for any info.

Any ideas for where to find a motocross pipe for a '75 Penton 250?  I have the Enduro pipe on it now.  Also, what length shocks am I looking for to remain AHRMA legal with 4" travel limit.  Swingarm has multiple holes so not sure what length and position will optimize the travel.  Thanks for any information.

Hi, I am looking for a 1977 Penton/ KTM MC5 250 to compete with on the AHRMA National motocross circuit.  I am planning an all Penton attack and have already found a '75 250 for the Sportsman 250 class which I had delivered to Mid Ohio (thanks to Ron Carbaugh for a really nice bike!)  Any and all assistance in finding one of these would be greatly appreciated!

Hi:

     I am a first time Penton owner (courtesy of Ron Carbaugh) and I am looking for transportation for a '75 Penton 250 from central TX (around San Antonio) to Mid Ohio.  If anyone is coming this way for VMD and has room for an extra Penton please let me know.  I can help with gas expense,etc.  Thanks.  Also, I have just joined the POG and got to meet Gary and Toni Roach and Gary Ellis this weekend at the Casey AHRMA National.  Great folks and very informative to someone new to Penton.  Thanks again and I look forward to meeting a lot of you along the way.  I will be at the meeting at Mid Ohio in July.
