Wow, so hard to believe. I learned so much from Dane about Pentons, Sachs engines, and their inner workings. I still have some of the homemade tools he and uncle Ted used in their shop back in the day. Dane didn't forget anything and had the uncanny ability to not only ride the bikes but wrench on them very well. Dane was a great teacher and friend and I can't thank him enough for the knowledge he passed on to me. Every time I see a Leatherman, I think of him!

Wanted / For Sale / Re: Fork seal replacement

I remove old seals with a seal removal tool and only replace with Leak Proof brand. Out of the hundreds of sets I have built, never had a fail or leaker.

Was thinking about Ron and his bride during these last few weeks of Texas flooding in Kerrville. Sad indeed of all the loss.

Is it true, KTM is financially going under? Just read where they were 3 billion in the hole. I sure hope not!

Penton Talk / Re: Penton front brake cable guide
July 12, 2024, 09:20:57 AM
I have restored many Steel Tanker bikes and saw a wire with grey grommet on a very few 68 - 69 models. None on 70 - 71. This was similar to the CZ cable holder attached under the right fork wiper strap but Penton had a hard grey grommet vs CZ just using bare wire
