I have a DKW 125 project that I'm working on for my wife and I know very little about Sachs engines. Can I use the Penton parts sources for the motor? And where can I find cables and such? I'm also in need of the bar mounting blocks that go on the top plate on the Earles forks, and the extra long shocks for the forks also. For now I (she) can limp along with the old ones. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Yes you can use penton sachs parts for your dkw sachs, front shocks for the earls forks uh, well you need to find a good sourse for DKW parts, You can try AL B, he may be able to point you in the right direction
if you can not find a source here in the states I know a shop in Germany that can supply things like the front shock. they specialize in the military model but the shocks are the same but for color. they use Pay Pal and are a trusted supplier for parts we can not find here in the states

Here is the web address of the little shop in Germany that handls Sachs/DKW parts
Its mostly for the military version but some parts are the same on our Pentons. Any one rebuilding a DKW or Sachs bike can get shocks and body parts from them
