Please check and let me know. If it is usable let me know what you want for it

will try to make it to vintage days in 05 with my all origional (right down to the metal fenders and origional frame stickers)73 Piner, I also should have my 74 250 desert restoration done and will bring it along. It will be a long drive from So Cal but I'll get there.

Live in Castaic Ca.( just north of LA) have an origional 2 73 jackpiners, 1 72 six days, a 75 250 and restoring a 74 250.

Ron, Let me know if you come this way. I am already trying to figure out how to bring out my bikes for next year.

Ron it was I that wanted the skid plate. I saw this one on Ebay but was not sure it would fit my 74 250 restore. I'll take a closer look.
Thanks

Guess were bidding on the same Jackpiner on ebay. Thought you wanted a 125 sixdays.

Kristie thanks for the interest but what you have is a 125 Six Days I was looking for a 72 175 Jackpiner. I am sure the others on this site will be interested in talking to you so give them a try. Mr, Carbaugh, thanks for the note I got one of the bikes that was being sold. Turns out the fellows name is Glen and you sold it to him. Glen says it runs good but he picked up another Piner and decided to let this one go. I'll give it a good home in sunny California.

I'll add to the kudos for owchboy. Bought some tank bumpers on ebay. when I went to send payment saw the name owchboy. I am a newer POG member but I recalled the name. Sent him an Email through the POG site asking if he had a 250 axle. When my bumpers arrived there was the axel. Plan on buying alot more from him in the future.

What ever you call your company, let me know. I am here in Southern California and have 2 and one half Pentons to support.

75 PENTON 250 SO I GUESS THAT MAKES 90 BIKES NO GUITARS HERE.

Thanks for the info, left email for the guy at ebay and the part number for my clutch cover is 5130001110. looks like I did not put the hole in it, it was in from a prior owner and sealed with tank seal on the inside of the cover.

75 penton 250
04 honda crfx 250

Feb 1, 2004 AMA District 37, Big Six Grand Prix at Taft California. 2 Pentons entered in the vintage event. My 250 and a 125 The 125 finished and I pulled out due to blown fork seals. Next race is March 7 in Glen Helen Ca. Whish I could find a 100 enduro ready for my kid. He would ride it instead of his honda 100.

I was at Vintage Iron in Southern Cal the other day, They had  a 72 125 that was every bit as nice if not better as the Italian Job.

Thanks for the tip, I just bid on the thing. It is not the big huge 20 lb metal one like I had 30 years ago but it should work a lot better. I'll know in 6 days. Thanks Again.

Dont worry about the future, I have a 12 year old and a 10 year old that think dads new 75 penton 250 is cooler than their KX 80 and CRF150.  I'll probably look fore a 125/175 when they get alittle taller and less crash prone. The more the young ones see these bikes and can ride them i think they will come around.
