Italian seat, VDO gauges and Hella lights adorned this little beauty
Nice job, I owned one of these back in around 1963/64 when we lived in SLC. Your pictures brought back some memories.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Amazing restoration. I bought 3 of these together. I was told they came from Germany. They have the kl30 graphics you mention. One is almost complete, the other two are pretty rough. Any tips or resources on parts would be appreciated!

ReplyDeleteI remember these from when i was a kid, in W Germany, 1977. There were "mofa gangen", ie moped gangs, who thought they were real badasses. Lots of variety in their decorated Mofa's. Just motorized bicycles, really. Gas is expensive over there, and in the 70's not so prosperous, so they rode anything.
ReplyDeleteWhy would an engine this small need dual exhausts?
