Repop 1980 Side Panels....

[pketchum]

Hi Tom,

You shouldn't be surprised since you've earned the respect and admiration of Larry Perkins, aka "The Penton Man".  He's the one who gave me your name as a respected resource to see about having these MX side panels reproduced.

They are nice aren't they?  It seems such a shame to squander them for personal reasons.  Now, can see why I would like them made available for others?

Know no other words, very quietly we go....

Side panels made it to my fiberglass guy, it was agreed that the slots will have to be covered to get a clean release, edge chipping is a concern. So hopefully I will know in one week how the "master" is coming...I don't know the costs as yet but will try to hold below 100.00 per set...stay tuned...p/s the master for the headlight shells looks VG and should have a mold in one week

Tom,

I met Dave Withrow this weekend at the ISDT Vintage Qualifier (GREAT weekend!!!!) and he said that Mike Lenz would likely be an interested party for these reproduction side panels.

Coming full circle around these future pieces, I saw the molds today....very reasonable they are....the repops will require patience and a little sweat equity, oh but what we might have.....To me, its worth the effort, when I get the first out of the mold, I will decide the worthiness and report back.....Thanks

Recieved the first out of the molds today and they are presentable, so I am offering them for sale, will also post to the suppliers section in a few days. I could not preserve the cooling slots so a little Dremel time will be required....
Many Thanks for the patience and the assistance of Larry Perkins and Phast Phil, without, this would not have happened......

JPEG of the side panel set has been posted under suppliers, they are available in white gelcoat, I should have several sets by 4/9/04....
Adios......

Hi Tom,

These are the original side panels, correct?  http://home.comcast.net/~ronnfranks/parts_and_accessories_for_sale.htm

Plant a seed, watch it grow, ...there might be another offing in the process..perhaps a fender from another very dedicated member of the Penton Owners Group....I fall at your feet.....

Greetings from Colorado, there are two new photos under "Suppliers" for a gander at the repops.....Many Thanks

Tom,

I have an NOS aftermarket (Maier) rear fender for the MC-80 KTMs that I would let someone borrow to use as a pattern to repop these hard to find items. Let me know if you are interested.
This is an exact copy of the original, not a universal type fender that just happens to fit.

Re: Rear Fender, I think another is in the process of duping a fender etc...Will wait and see...Adios.....
