Go to the suppier section for parts, between all of them you should find all of it.I've had good look with pentonparts.com and if you have the parts # e-mail [email protected] ask for Andre.

Check out Ebay USA listing right now, search "77 KTM". There's a 175 GS6 all there as a parts bike, less forks/triples, seat and wheels. Was going cheap. If nothing else, follow with the acution winner who may be parting it out.

Hi Andy,

You occasionally get things coming up on Ebay in britain but for the smaller stuff you are better off looking on Ebay U.S.(Postage for a complete pipe will be extortionate) Al Beuhner's site http://www.pentonpartsusa.com/ is great although you can't contact him by email so it's either a fax or try and work out the time difference to give him a call!!
Ellastone Offroad 01889 590186 might be able to help with some second hand stuff and Jim Aim motorcycles http://www.jimaimracing.co.uk/ are about the only ones who will entertain the older stuff. You need to speak to either Will in the shop or Jim himself when he's there as he has a stock of the older parts but they're his and he's retired and is only in the shop every so often so it might take a while for him to get back to you or for them to get you an answer.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Chris.

Andy, just an update for the 175cc GS pipe. I recently purchased a NOS MC5 175cc pipe from Lee Brown and have forwarded it to Mike Winter.
Our hopes, are that this pipe makes it to Kevin @ Circle F to be used as a template for a GS configuration (175cc). This may take a bit of engineering due to the inlet of the exhaust flange and the clearance of the first portion of the pipe and the adjacent downtubes of the frame. In addition, the rear section needs to be stretched a-bit to accomodate the GS frame. Have also posted a message not too long ago about the status of pipes in general, to garner some support regarding these matters.
There is a wealth of information, and there are things happening behind the posts, another "enduring" feature of the POG Forum!

Thanks for posting!

The 78 bike on the Bay was ended early.

I hope the seller did well because he missed some good late bidding that was set up by a committee.

Andy,
   
     Welcome to the POG message board. Would you be kind enough to give us a bit of a run down on the vintage motorcycle activity in the UK?  Are there many Pentons around?  Do you have many vintage events to go to and if so do you ride in them or mostly show? I don't mean to be nosey, just curious.

Thank you, and again welcome aboard.
Paul

Tony,
I emailed the seller to see if it was sold for sure, or if he was taking offers. Mike
