Larry,

  If you get a chance check out the beautiful original Steel Tanker that Dale posted pics of at the end of this thread, it shows most all of the items that you asked about and looks to be just as Mike described.

  Speaking of paint colors, someone recently said that many of the colors used on the early Pentons were selected from colors that KTM already had on hand for their bicycle production. We will have to ask Doug about that as he has a beautiful KTM bicycle.
