Paul,

I'm interested in purchasing the #4 manuscript being auctioned off next week.  Can you provide me with more details regarding the auction, i.e. absentee bids?

P.S.

I had a great time visiting with you and the rest of the POG during last year's AMA Vintage days in Ohio.  Meeting John Penton again was very special.  I was able to catch up with John just prior to him leaving for his son's (Jack I believe)induction into the AMA. John autographed the gas tank on his way out.  I was very lucky indeed!! Considering how close I was to missing John that afternoon to give a ride to a stranded co-worker I passed on I-90 that resulted in an additional hour in travel time.  Later that same evening Jack Penton autographed my tank as well!!  Needles to say, I'm in the market for a new or used gas tank to be used for casual riding.  
I look forward to returning this year with my semi-restored '72 175 Jackpiner and a chance to meet everyone again.


Thanks!

 


 

I'm in the process of designing replacement muffler mounts.  These sandwich mounts will have the same geometry profile and attachment spec's as the OEM parts.
These mounts will be designed to within +/- 10% of the original shear and compression stiffness as well as improved thermal properties which reduce elastomer set and bond failure when subjected to random shock loads at elevated temperatures.  

I've spoken with Al Buehner regarding this issue, since he has been the primary source of NOS parts for my Penton.
I believe I'm in a unique position to help Penton owners(and others) source these essential components which were designed specifically for this off-highway application.

I'm asking for some feedback as to the percieved demand of such a part.  


Your feedback is appreciated.
