1970 Penton Steeltanker for sale

[AndyL]

I figured I would give the POG folks first shot at this. It needs some TLC and finishing.  I have some other projects to do, so this one has to go. It won't be a steal but it won't be too pricey either.

I have been told it is a 1970 or so model. It has the lower pipe mount, long seat.  V4531

Tank has been spray bombed, seat was done locally, engine was pieced together from various Sachs motors, pipe has a pin hole or two.  Rear wheel is steel, front hub was re-laced to an alloy rim.  

Front tire is a Dunlop 756, rear is a Kenda 257D

Carb is a Mikuni, just fitted with large bore fuel line so it sits at a prett steep angle, but it works ok. Runs good, plenty of compression and power, starts pretty easy as long as I dont flood it.

Handlebars are aftermarket and too wide.  Fenders are alloy's cut to fit.  Headlight is too narrow for the mounts and came from a moped.

Wiring needs to be finished

Here are some pictures:




I am thinking $1200 or so or make me an offer.  I also have two or three Sachs bottom ends and five 125 cylinders (a couple are bored to the limit and most have chipped fins).  If you are interested shoot me an email and we can talk.
