This makes me sick... I did the restoration on the 1975 KTM that was stolen from Pat. I for one will be scouring Ebay and Craigslist looking for anyone parting it out our trying to sell whole. Keep a close eye out for any exhaust systems for sale for this model/year KTM. I didn't have the correct muffler so we welded on a "SuperTrapp" like end cap that still "looked" the part.

Please email me at [email protected] if you need a picture for reference of the bike that was stolen from Pat. I may have a picture of the 175 as well. When I sold the bike to Pat, I also picked up the 175 Jackpiner for him and delivered to a friend of his who brought them over to TX for him.  Really sick about this and would like to try to help get the word out. Thank you!

By the way, the frame number on the 250 is

I am personally encouraged to see the value of these old bikes increasing.  Remember that all of the muscle cars from the 60's and 70's weren't always hundreds of thousands of dollars either.  Even though that particular Jackpiner isn't exactly original or correct, the amount of money and endless hours to make them that nicely detailed doesn't result in any significant amount of financial profit.

No argument there. In all actuality, they're all priceless in my book!

So it's for sure. I measured the piston and it is in fact a 71.5 and has a No. 1 stamped on the top along with said 71.5. Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any more questions though. Thanks!

Will double check everything for sure and post it up. The piston looks to be stamped with the number 71.5 so that was my first mistake! The part numbers written on the box so I'll do some measuring and again just post everything up so ya'll know what we have here. Thanks for your patience!

Just noted the OEM Model number for the piston kit as well, it's written on the box as54.30.007.200 for reference but is stamped 71.5mm with a No. 1.

I will verify and post size this evening for everyone, but I "believe" that's the one noted on the box as 70.5mm.
