This is a 1962 REX KL35.I saw this bike on the local want adds close by and went to see it. I never heard of it and almost passed.As it goes its fairly rare. It was made in Munich Germany and sold out of Salt Lake City ,Utah.It is a 50 cc 2 stroke originally sold as a KL30 in Europe but modified with dual carburators and dual exaust, Repainted and pinstriped but Rex never rebadged with  a different decal

   The before picture,What a project!

 Check out the key storage and how it locks up the bike-The locksmith took 3 weeks to make a key and remove from bars.
