new to pentons

[loosecannon39]

hi folks, im a new to penton, mostly 4 stroke guy, who is about to aquire what i believe is a very late model(probably 77)  175cc, KTM, penton.  i will be using it for  mostly trail riding, and no competition at all, (too old and fat). can anyone tell me if the 175 can be upgraded in size relatively easily?   I understand KTM made a 250, and a 400  as well for penton. weighing in at 350,  ill need all the help i can get.  alternately, where might i locate a head for a 175 with fins intact?  also could use some help with mods for low and mid range power and durability.    any comments, pro or con are appreciated'

thanks

Dan

Here in South Carolina the wood's are tight and that 175 if brought back to new could carry you pretty quick!The part's you need could be a phone call away, check the supplier's page here in POG site!Glad To have you here!A lot of nice guy's here that will help you anyway they can!Oh yeah PENTON made a 100cc,125cc,175cc,250cc,400cc Have Fun!!
