Penton Tech Tips (gottny?)

[tomale]

Ever have trouble getting your air filter out of the MC 5 ? I took a piece of nylon string and attached it to the frame. when I intall the filter I leave the end of the string in plain sight so that I can use it to pull the filter out. It can get stuck with all the crud.

To my dear friend TMC, such an adventure, today in my shop...
Had everything to start my new Penton. All is new, timing good, new piston, new R5 porting, new tires, new shocks, new forks, new chain...
Black with Red Pearl paint, and then only to discover a missing carb plunger, that I plugged the remote tank into, and yet, when I re-consider this (laps around a Penton)....my thoughts continue..........

Tom,

The seat dosen't look right.  Is the seat a bit short or not mounted correctly?

Sharp looking-nice paint, I'll bet it sounds sweet with that new pipe!

Tony, I don't think so. It looks right to me..If anything the fender looked longer than the stock on on my bike... Nice bike, never seen one done all in black...

It's the rear shocks, bumped up to 14.25 in., with 70/135 spgs..
Should turn a bit sharper.....
