This 1973 Penton 125cc Six Day, was purchased completely restored from
Mr. Sholder in Glenmore, PA, USA. While in his ownership he had the engine rebuilt
by Doug Wilford with a new PVL ignition, (Now a Moto Plat Ignition) NOS
cylinder, head, carb and piston (standard size sleeve). Doug jetted the NOS
carb and set the timing on the PVL unit. Current owner has replaced the carb with
a Lectron.
The wheels are polished, shouldered alloys with replated spokes and
nipples, mounted with new Cheng Shen tires. New wheel bearings, seals and brake
shoes, front and rear.
The frame is powder coated in silver and the wheel hubs are power coated
in black. The fork has been rebuilt with polished lower tubes. Rear shocks and
springs are WORKS PERFORMANCE, ($509. US$ a pair). Non-restored original shocks,
and new Progressive shocks (12-1203B shocks, 03-1365C springs) and numerous perfectly
working spare parts are also included with the bike. (see picture)
Practically all the hardware has been replated or/and replace with new.
New
reproductions parts include: Fenders, exhaust tip, skid plate, seat cover,
front number plate (side number plates are originals), chain guide block, and
the chain guard along with a few other odds and ends (Locking plate on rear
sprocket, cables…)
The
factory gas tank is finished in the original OEM gel coat. It’s been lightly
wet sanded (1000 then 2000 grit) then buffed and polished to a shine. New
reproduction decals applied. There are some minor imperfections, but way too
nice to repaint.
This
1973 Penton Six Day comes with Owner’s Manual, Parts Manual and full
