Just Got a 1977 400

Mine is white, but of course it might not have been originally.

Here is a pic pf a 77 MC5 250 I restored, and another persons MC5 400 I saved on my computer, then an all original 77 GS6 400 pic I saved. Most of the non-standard colored  bikes, IE.., Red or Blue that I have seen were West coast bikes and usually had KTM decals, not Penton. Mike

Yes, my bike came from the west coast, but it has Penton decals, of course those could have been changed just as well as the color anywhere after it was sold. Its definitely a '77 because it has the multi position footpeg mounts.

Just finished my '76 400. Here it is with its older brother. They are consecutive frame numbers but purchased 30 odd years apart.

Somewhere I have a decent 77 tank.  It is  a red MC5 with KTM decals.  I have heard that '77 tanks are a bit different in width of the channel but I don't know for sure.  I might have a cheap plastic Hoss orange enduro tank too but I cannot remember.  Feel free to email me at my screen name then add [email protected] to it.  Have fun and good luck.  John
