Would apreciate contact info.

I have a few bent fins on my '76 cross country 175, and would like to get them repaired.

Thanks Mike. Look forward to seeing the pics. I have several(3) pipes that came with my '76. All are slightly different. I'll try to get some pics together of the differences and see if I (we hopefully) can get them figured out.

They ARE all paper thin at the silencer end and 2 of them have the mountings all ripped out.

Thanks Gary. That's inspirational. This bike has been sitting for so laong that I think I am probably going to strip it down completely and go over it all over the winter. It is in My office at the shop right now and a major distraction from getting any work done!(the work I am supposed to be doing, which is not in the office).

I'll have to take some pictures of the pipes I have as the one that goes on the bike is clear and I have one other similar but also one that is similar overall but somewhat different where it would enter the exhaust port (size and angle). I'd be glad to pass this along to someone who might need it.

OK so now I pay attention and see that yes it is a "cross country" as the GS6 did not officially exist until '77.

Thanks guys. Yes, that is the bike I got on e-bay......looks much nicer in the photos. So that makes it the GS6 eh?
Just getting a grip now on the vast amount of info available on this site. I'm fairly comfortable with asking stupid questions and I really appreciate the help. Makes me feel like it's in good hands (the bike)



Oh...and the grass in the picture, although high on the "emerald rating" was just fair to average for this entire subdivision.....place was freaky green......

Forgot to add that I am in the NE (Portsmouth NH) and intend to ride this and hopefully compete in vintage enduro's if I can find any to ride in........if I build it they will come right?

There is much I don't know about this bike. No history. Been used pretty hard with some damage to the bottom frame rails. The pipe is junk. Hasn't been run in 30 yrs. I'm sure it can be bought back, but will take a bit. Looking forward too it though.

GS6 is the enduro version right?...or do the MC5's have lights too (I was assuming the MC meant motocross)? other than that I don't know how to tell the difference

Looking for a '76 Cross Country pipe or info on anyone that may make one.

Hey y'all.New to the group. Just picked up the '76 175 that was on e-bay in NH. Not entirely foriegn to bikes but (been riding for 35 + yrs) but the last time I had a Penton was in the late '70's. Seems like this is the place to find out all about it and after lurking for years I look forward to being a part of it all.
