Title: DKW
Post by: bkinnon on June 05, 2006, 02:36:01 PM
I have a chance to buy 3 DKW enduros and a small pile of NOS parts. One bike is a one owner that came with Betor forks as opposed to the trailing link front end. The other two are parts bikes. I am no expert on anything especially these bikes. Any interest or links to any web sites? Thanks.

Check the Betor fork machine out closely, especially the engine.  The last one I worked on had a 175cc early Sachs engine in it and is very rare indeed!;)

Kip or Doug, Would the serial number on the engine be a good indication of the displacement?  And what to look for ??

  William, unfortunately I've gotten all my DKW parts off the internet and from sheer luck !!  Throttle and clutch cables, Al has.
