Thanks Rob.

Kip, couldnt find anything about their bikes for sale. Where did you see it? Thanks

Thanks Bob. The fender length became obvious today when I installed the airbox. I notice the two screw holes in the front of the airbox where that flap likely attaches so all makes sense now. Appreciate the help.

Trying to piece together the reproduction chain guard and chain guide brackets on our Six Days. I see where the guard goes and the front chain guide bracket as one of the legs is shorter and lines up with a mounting hole on the frame. Does the rear chain guide bracket go in front of the chain guard or behind it? Could go either place and would probably work. Just wondering how others do it. [?]

My son and I are restoring the bike mentioned above. I recieved the bike in boxes and most of the "small stuff" was missing. So after thousands of dollars spent with Al Buehner (the best) and others I finally have enough parts to make a bike. Since I havent seen a Penton in 40 years other than our basket case I have a couple questions:

1. I have an aluminum rear fender (first half of the year had metal fenders, last half had plastic from what I can tell) and wonder where it should be trimmed. These are sold very long so that they can accomodate many bikes. I believe it should be cut off just long enough to attach to the two bolt tabs that are under the seat. Can anyone confirm?

2. I have several "mud flaps" to install and not quite sure where they go. The parts catalog and owners manual do not show them. I believe there are three total. One goes under the tank to cover the coil and its the other two that are befuddling for me. I assume one attaches to the fender to separate that space from the airbox but cant find any indication anywhere. Have tried looking at good restoration pics but not too helpful. Any ideas guys?

Thanks for your help and guidance.  Jeff
