useful tidbits

[Mike Lenz]

Got an older Penton in good enough shape you dont want to restore it but it could use some tuch ups on the frame and/or motor? Problem is the paint has "yellowed". There is a paint out there thats pretty close to the "yellowed" old Penton silver, its Plastickote Biege Pearl Metellic, avib at Wal Mart. If you blend and hide the edges where it meets the old paint again  it looks prety good.                              Need a hard to come by tank for your 73 through76 frame breather? One that will take abuse and wont get eaten up by the new gas[although it will brown out if you leave gas in it,but it probebly is already anyway]? The 79 plastic tanks go right on using the cable set up. I havent tried the leather strap.
