Tom, I was actually planning on buyiny the set of panels from you but I need to know if anyone has a color match for the "Red" & "Yellow" so I can spray paint them after I get the panels.  I don't have access to custom paint equipment so the paint can type is my only option.  Thanks Tom.

Well guys the 76 turned out to be a 72 or 73 Six Day in fairly
good original condition. I have to run the numbers yet to see
what they will divulge but I think it is a 72. Runs and shifts
real well and is pretty much complete. The only things it will need
right off is a kick starter ( the fellow said the old one fell off)
and a rear fender and also the rear shocks are non original items
of dubious quality. Were the original fenders on these bikes made
of a hard breakable plastic? This thing is not that far away from
being a good every day rider with some detail work on the cables
and doing some tweeking here and there.
Thanks for everyones help here.
I finally found one of these after about 2 or 3 years of searching.[:p]

I know there is there is some confusion but that is an MC5 framed bike and they did not come out until mid 1976 I still think they are the coolest looking bikes. There were  as I understand some 75' bikes that had leading axled bike but if you look close to the side panels they are the 76-77 style MC5 panels.
I have a set of alum. side panels on my 76 and I really like them but I have never heard of any other ones like them. They are really durable for racing. If I could find a set for the 78' MC400 I would love to have them.

Thom Green,I own and ride a 76 250 MC5 MX which I bought new.
