  • MZ TS 250 supa 5 .
    The East German project what should I do first paint panels ,mudguards and then re spoke wheels .
    should I completely strip and powder coat the frame or just re paint .
    or should I just leave as it is and enjoy it .

    You can get a Honda twin leading shoe drum brake from a Honda K4, it looks the same only it has a chrome wheel rim but braking is 100% better

      I believe his new wife wouldn't let him ride it when they married so he kept it .
      Definitely a keeper 👍

    Looking forward to seeing the journey. I personally would go the mint route if the budget allows. You've got a great low mileage one owner bike. Be a great keeper

      Yes I kind of think that myself being one owner and mega low miles it's so nice not having to worry about coolant electronics ,brake fluid the only thing to remember is to mix the oil with the petrol to stop it seizing up 😜

      I don't want to go away from the original look of the bike , I believe you can modify the internals so the shoes have more contact with the hub
