Thanks Cal. Do you spec dull or shine zinc finish? I totally agree on the nickel items, the stay and hubs have polished up nicely. The wing-shaped brake adjuster nut is a casting and it too polished up with fine scotchbrite. On these items I am using a product called Everbrite to keep them looking that way - everbritecoatings.com. Finding the brass wire wheel better, softer results.

Thanks - anything else come to mind that could go outing for zinc replate? front hub arm & anchor, rear brake adjust, they cleaned up ok but not sure on original finish.

Have not cracked open the cases, my thought being once I did that I would have a box of parts and it would be less running history for the actual rebuilder. [^]

That Cycle News clip is a real hoot! The ad for the Mikuni conversion hits home, 28 on mine when I bought the bike (in several uHaul cartons), ran pretty solid until latest teardown/restoration.

Hi Dale - Got notice on latest newsletter that my membership has expired, yet I have bank notice of the cashed check on 2/27/19 #1602. Please look into this when you have time. Thanks, Rich Fredette

Interested in purchasing if these are applicable to a 72 JP. Not finding either one or placement in the manual. Thx.

Issue #10...what a great read. CO2 cartridges for the tires > classic Penton/America - lead, follow or get out the way.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wilford, I know he had to be a special gentleman if he was associated with my fellow POG members. My heart felt sorrow to his loving family and friends.

My 72 were painted, a cost-cutting choice I suspect. They clean up nice on a wire wheeled bench grinder; clean, prime and silver - look like new.

Perfectly precise as usual! Thx Keith for doing that.

All straight. Boss Guy Mark Thompson at bear-sports.com dug into his new magura site set-up and got item shipped pronto.

Finally got a chance to watch the bonus dvd and it was a great history lesson. Really amazing to see what Penton did set the stage for the KTM empire.

Yes, cushion drive. Manual calls for 36 "A" spoked 3.00x21 and 4.00x18. The existing 1.60 18" Radaelli still baffles me; anyone want it for cost of shipping?
