The MX versions without lights had a pickle end pipe, and the Enduro versions usually had the large shrouded end pipe with the chrome tip. Maybe someone swapped the pipe, or it may have even came that way. Nothing was ever set in stone, but from the look of the bracket under the tank, that is the right year pipe, just the MX version.

Hey Bob, thanks for posting the pictures!  There is one of the large enduro pickle pipes on ebay right now.  Looks pretty nice but somewhat expensive.  Seller will accept offers however.  Just type "Penton Pipe" into ebay if interested.  Regards, John

Bob,

Would you be interested in swapping that MX pipe for the correct enduro pipe?  You may not see this till after ISDTRR but let me know if interested.

Hi Larry,
  I think this pipe is the better performer, from what I hear,
and thats the one that came on it and it is in perfect shape, so I best just keep it on there.

I have an early '74 red tank 250 HS and it has the MX pipe, but the silencer end had been broken off and replaced with one similar to ones I have seen on Hodaka's. The sound of the MX pipe combined with the less weight is hard to beat! Mike
