Larry, I have a beautiful framed 18X24 brochure 0f the GS-6s and the MC-5s that hangs in my Penton museum. I don't have any extras but wife can get a nice pic of it and send it on here phone. Her #is 812- 830-9918.  Dave

I have a 1978 ISDT that Dane Leimbach was fixing up for himself, and as a dealer I wanted a 175 for a demo but was told by Penton that all the new 78's were on backorder, as the new white ones were selling fast. A few days later Penton called and said that Dane was fixing up a 175 for his own use but had hurt or broke his leg or ankle?  They knocked off a couple hundred and though he may had rode it out back.  I said ship it as I really needed a bike as my friends and I had a big ride planned.  When the bike arrived I pulled it from the shipping box with a small hoist I used in the shop. Someone had put Danes name and ISDT on the box. After the 175 was out of the box I found the 175 had Fox shocks a torque pipe, with the old mount left on, a center stand mounted to the swingarm and 1/2 tank of gas. I had sold some white MX or MC5s so this was my first white GS-6. The bike is a  blast to ride  and handles great, also Dane had replaced the 35mm forks with a set of 38mm GP forks. Don't know what the GP stands for? For got, I steal have the ol 175 and the box, and at this time its being restored. Work is coming along as every things been painted. I would have no idea how many miles our hours the ol 175 has on it. speedo has over 5,000 showing and hasn't worked in years. The lower end as never been apart but the rod is s bit loose and it's on last bore 80 plus. The center stand works great, a lot better then the side ones. I dont know how to post pictures but my wife can send them with her phone @ 812-830-9918   Ol Dave

Jake when is a good time to call   Dave

I was wanting a look with no paint like some of the work bikes, but went with high heat black. When painting exhaust pipes, heads, clyinders, and cases I first spray them with CRC Brakleen, its a brake parts cleaner spray, green can, Walmart. Works for me. Dave

I may have to buy a new one if no luck on rings. On rings, I think most of the wiseco pistons take the same rings just find the right bore. I have an old wiseco 250 YZ Yam piston and the rings will fit the 152 piston just to big, also wisaco 175 rings will fit 152 piston again to large. I have a new 152 piston and a 20 over but no rings. So If any For Sale my Ph # is (812-830-9918) Dave

Carl how much larger. I could make them fit if not much larger Dave

Yes I have a wiseco piston. Dave

thanks

Thanks Larry, I'll gave them a call today. Dave

Good news, water working no leaks, fellow up with Doctor tomorrow. Also my man called from machine shop that my Sachs cylinder is bored so can pick it up after Doctor. Hope the people in Texas can get things going, so bad to be without water and heat. Dave

Thanks but have to put things on hold for now, a hospital trip has slowed me down. something about a-fib plus a lot of snow and water won't come from well any more. looks like I need a Doctor, plumber, and warmer days. Thanks Dave

Also Check your tire size, a 4:10 is shorter then a 4:00 or a  100/100. As with a flat tire, side stand to long.

I had to made mine on my DKW trials.

Thanks found it myself

I read somewhere that there was a right up in Keep on Tracking on his Sachs bottom-KTM top. I did this sometime ago and like to conpair his to mine. Anyone now the date. Ol dave
