Mike,
Yes, it was Caswell.
I still have some of it, maybe I'll try another application.

The 250 is far easier to ride but the 400 is doable with the bigger flywheel and short shifting it so you stay out of the big hit.

Bobs MC5 is nice & race ready. Well worth the price. A 76 MC5 would qualify for Post Vintage Historic class, where it would dominate. A 78 MC5, while a great bike is a little outclassed in Post Vintage racing against newer bikes. Those are my 2 favorite bikes. Mike

It is a well sorted out bike. Wish I could buy it. My advice if you want a nice MC5 is buy it, put a PVL on it, and never look back. The MC5 Penton is one of my all time fave bikes and I have raced a jillion bikes over the years. It was a couple of years ahead of it's time and in 76-77 was many privateer pros bike of choice.

You have a 1975 400. The 411 means it was built in November of 1974. The 55 in the engine number designates a 400.

Mike,
Can you tell me what model this bike is;
Frame # 54 411 79195
Engine# 4- 5500794
Thank you,
BryanQuotequote:Originally posted by 454MRW
I thought it was a 175 from the pipe exhaust tip design. The 54- frame designation was used on 175, 250, and 400's as well. The 250 would have a chrome conical shaped outlet. A 76 175 engine ID would start with 6-52 above the ignition cover on the right hand side of the engine. Mike
