I'm restoring a '76 KTM MC5 400 in original white that I purchased from the original owner in SoCal. I have the original magazine test from '76. The bike is white.

Me too, for my 76 MC5 400. I have two plastic panels that I have painted orange that were white, but I would like to find a Match to my NOS left hand side. I do have a nice pair of NOS red ones with green number plates. Mike

Hi Rainman, do you still rebuild Marzocchi shocks?
Thanks, Steve

I rebuild the Marzocchi shocks.  I totally disassemble, glass bead blast the bodies, paint and clearcoat.  Fresh seals, oil and charge with nitrogen.  If you are interested, send me an email.  $50 per shock plus parts.  If you want the springs blasted and painted, another $10 per shock.

Hi Skip,
    Thanks for the reply on the paint. I also paint all restorations and do not powder coat, I keeps it more original. So far How do like the motor from Chi Jerry?

Thanks, Steve (1976 KTM MC400)

Hi Skip,
    Beautiful bike!! What color paint did you use on the frame?

Thanks, Steve

Thanks Steve.  Motor is coming in a few days and I'll be getting closer.  I stopped powder coating my frames because I couldn't make any adjustments during re-assembly without damaging the finish.  Now I like to use spray cans in the driveway.  

I like duplicolor bgm 0540 light slate metallic and if you do a search Mike Winter uses Duplicolor Lacquer DAL1679 silver metallic and Spraymax 2K 3680061 Urethane.  Mike's usually spot on with his recommendations.



The kickstand was so loose and wobbly when I put it back together and I never noticed it when I took it apart.

A litter persuasion with the hammer.


And it works perfect.
