Poger's Send your Workshops, garages, or shed pictures to Al B to share for Penton Garage Collage for an upcoming Still Keeping Track.
Pristine, messy, bomb went off, who cares? This is for fun!
Don't let Kevin Donovan's garage pics scare you from participating, we all can't be Kevin Donovan!

Vohn,
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but with all the publications now online, I love the receiving of my " Still Keeping Track" via mail & in paper form. Like an old school book, holding and feeling something real, tangible, is my preference. There is a bit of excitement when you see that envelope in the mailbox... maybe it's just me?
So I prefer the current publication, and willing to anty up some extra $$ to keep it that way. I still race my 74 250 HS when time permits. With 67 years old and at least partial retirement in the very near future, I hope the 74 and I will spend a few more hours on the track, and on the trails in good Ole Florida and beyond.
All my dirt bikes are pure vintage and only vintage do I ride, various brands, but the Penton brand is dear to my heart, the bikes, folks, events, live on, long after I purchased my first Penton 125 Six Day in St. Pete Florida in 1973...

Looking for a red 250HS airbox. 1974  Damage around air boot connection area OK.
Wheels in my head are turning, have a project in mind. Gem reed to Mikuni, fab airbox for a different boot setup and a modern style air cleaner.
Yes I know Bings are better, I run a Bing on my racer. Yea, this could be on the verge of crazy. What's laying around in your corner of your shed?
Building for a duel sport project.....

Thanks Kevin, good info, I know a lot of folks don't realize that the old clinking on the spoke will get you by, and has been std for decades, But when you receive a RE-laced wheel for a pro shop,(Buchanan's) the torque specs are attached on a toe tag from builder. + a Note to retorque after a ride or two. Very even torque must be good!
Rear wheel on my 75 Pursang from Buchanan's came back 40 inch LBS.
Do you torque a rod bearing cap on an auto engine? I hope so.....

Would consider sharing the Gem piston modification information?

I have been searching for this info.
Thanks, Scotty Rat
If you don't want to post it, please email me.

Well no responses for shift quadrant or cases?
I guess next step is get them repaired...
Is the forum working for ya'll or is Facebook the only thing folks look at?
Some help out there...

Looking for a NOS 52.34.001.400
Shifter quadrant.
Also, a set of decent cases for a 74-75 250 HS.
Thanks, Scotty "Rat"
