(http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp170/ktmgs/PB0400632.jpg)-- The surf is up and here is the 1970-71 DKW that Mr.Petty will ride at the Catalina Island GP next month. 1958 was the last time this event was held. LG

I was not sure if I should put his name on the posting , I am sure its ok :). I need to call him and find out if the bike is a 125 175 205cc. [:0]Like he built for the Brooks boys for desert and a rider from my high school from back in the day; M.Adent who rode for HERC/Sachs. He also rode a ISDT not sure for what brand. Going to send Chuck an barrel to play with this winter. LG
Hello, any ideas what front springs are used on here?
I seek it with a length of 410mm.
When using long 410mm trial springs to the front, the result is bad (too stiff).
These are used as the photo above fit well and have a soft suspension.
Thanks, Koen
The shocks front and rear are Currnutt ,the springs are of one rate I have been told in the above Picture. The Below Picture are stock Boge.

That bike reminds me of my first bike, a 69-70 125 Sachs with leading link suspension. I think the tank was blue. I purchsed it from a friend's father's shop in Santa Monica, Baldwin motorcycles. Anyone remember Baldwin Cycles in Santa Monica/West LA area. I think it was on Pico Blvd. but maybe Santa Monica Blvd. I haven't heard from Bobby Baldwin since the early and mid 70's when we both lived in Granada Hills. We would race at Indian Dunes up to 2-3 times a week. (Wednesday nights, Friday nights, Saturdays and or Sundays.)
The good old days!!!!!!
