SACHS 175 engine

[David Laite]

These photos are huge as I dissassembled my 175 Thursday. Were any Hiro engines ever installed on Penton's?

Kip, you are the Master! I'm sure you can do it.

OK, anyone out there have any actual photos of Tom Penton's 125/175 crossover.  If I am doing this, I need some photos.  Thanks in advance!

Ernie  I contacted Jack to see if he could get some photos/info from Tom.  Thanks!

I think Mike Lenz put a 100 or 125 sachs top end on a 1972-73 175 bottom end some time back.

No luck, Jack didn't have any photos.  Any other ideas for photos of this machine?  Thanks in advance!

Kip,
I think it would have looked very much like the 1971 ISDT bikes.



 A friend of mine got to ride Toms bike ( KTM top end ) , so he told me years ago.
He and a man in the Netherlands gave me the idea to do mine. Monark
built at least one  for the ISDT. They even stroked one to 180 cc's to run in another class at the ISDT.
 Best I can do Kip.
