great reporting,tough race,tough men.....johnny

i just put headlight on my 72 jackpiner mx it has a 6 volt lighting coil and i'm running a 12 volt preston petty headlamp # plate,don't think i'll put on a tailight,i put an enduro tool bag on rear preston petty mudder fender.if you need a clutch look at my previous thread.i put the new clutch in and it works great .....johnny

they are organic,like what was on the ones i sent....johnny

i called barnett tool&engineering at 805 642 9435,and asked for xavier[he is a technician]i mailed my old disks to:barnett tool& engineering,2238 la palma drive,ventura,ca. 93003.it took about 2 weeks,he tried to match it up with another one in production,but ended up rebuilding them.i was hoping he could match them with over the counter ones.i have not talked to him since,so i don't know all the details,but for $75 shipping included they arrived ups.....johnny

thank you rod,i mounted the speedo today.

i raced all the dist.37 hare n hounds with a fanny pack with 2 water bottles,tools enough to repair broken levers,perches,chain,numerous get offs.the pack never hurt me and was not uncomfortable.on other bikes i used a tank bag, side bag,numberplate tool holder,backpack.my preference is the fanny pack.

i have kaiser permanente,my son was injured at a closed course race,we are dist. 37 ama.he was abulanced out, hopitalised,operated on, all covered, no problems.

thanks for the rebuilding info.i dented the shock body,ruined the aluminum plunger.i'll be watching for parts,or a good one

thanks dwight,it had curnutt on it.

might need that head, i blew the spark plug out of mine on a sat. before a desert race,i took it to a used dirt bike shop in phelen,i think, they repaired it and got me going.they did it dirt cheap too.

victor,sounds like the way to go,on the wide open dry lake sections i would kill the motor a few times to try to "oil it up",my jackpiner has a 30 mm amal. i just bought a 32 mm mikuni to put on it. seems like your handlebar setup would be good to have,my maico has a bing on it,see if you can find it

was your penton the 400 mint?

it's in the washboard whoops section that takes it's toll on the dual rear shock bikes. still it's  a challenge . i race a maico 400,and a husky 450 also,i've seen some nice dkw's there at adelanto. thanks for the input.

thanks dwight,thats what i thought,i can't really get it dialed in.i took the motor out yesterday,it was jammed in gear,it's freed up now,i'll put it back in and put my amal back on.i took yhe amal off because after about 15 minutes of hard racing it would not throttle. wide open throttle it would just blubber,holding it open it would eventually clean out and run good,losing to many positions in process.

i cut it with side cutters a little shorter, then silver soldered the end it works,i've done this to many cables.if you go to your bike shop they have an assortment of sleeves,barrel ends to do this ,just like kip kern did with mapp gas
