When I first got into biking in 1972 MZ's and CZ's were the joke of the biking world with CZ's being the worst.
It's funny now, all those cheap eastern European hacks are now desirable bikes (with the exception of the Voskhod ).
It will look great when finished. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I forgot a few pics...

Fenders are still in the process of fixing marks of old crashes but i managed to put together almost whole frame. Shock absorbers are on its places. I cleaned them as much as i can. The next step would be to get them to someone who could put on them new chrome finish. Right now i am cleaning wheels and preparing back lights etc. Back lights are a little defected. It's just, it don't fits as it should.

Air box is fixed. Epoxy kit is great stuff. With it, i fixed broken parts through screws are connected with reg/rec body plate. I had hard time to cut some of it so box could fit on its place. Right now, the only problem with the box is missing rubber gasket between box and bikes frame. It needs to be relative soft, with diameter of some 50cm.
I am glad you like this i am posting. Thank you all for your kind words. ____________________ Long time reviewer in computer magazine.

Last few days i didn't had much time. I had a lot of other things to do. Just to mention bunch of devices which i need to do review for a magazine. But, things are moving...
Fenders are in primer, and are waiting to be painted. Along with with side covers.

Chain and sprocket are ok along with rubber shield. Time made from this rubber almost plastic, but, it is still ok. Chain is cleaned and ready for new kilometers of road.

That green can is Tuborg antirost new solvent.
Front and back wheel are a real mess. There are some sort of corrosion on it which i had a hard time to clean with 3M scotch. It is ok, but not as it should. Those wires on the wheel are rusty, i will clean it as much as i can, but they will stay rusty much of it. The only solution is to buy new.

Stick the smaller alloy bits in a dishwasher when no one is looking.
I find good old fashioned paraffin (kerosene) applied with a paintbrush/toothbrush brings a lot of really mucky looking aluminium alloy up quite well. Not shiny but ok. That dull sort of finish.
If you have a compressor in the workshop, you could always look into making a soda blaster. Lots of how-to guides on the web. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I love how they managed to make a bike that has the mainstand and BOTH wheels on the road yet not fall over. Seems a common theme for many communist era motorcycles. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Reg/rec plate. It should work, i think. I think i gonna replace all those wires, just in case.
https://i.imgur.com/acjvBU5.jpg?1
https://i.imgur.com/qF3irEa.jpg?1
Reg/rec plate and air filter box are on its place. They are holding each other with two screws. I made a gasket for air box from a pipes thermoshield and it fits well. Now it looks like a bike.
Next i will focus on back lights and front headlights housing. There are bunch of electric stuff. It gonna take a while.

Great progress Dekip.
Would this be of help to you for the wiring? It's for a TS but the colour/connections might be similar and if not it's extremely early to work around that..

When my mate was doing up the electrics on his TS, he noticed that the amount of material on the contacts in the switchgear is very minimal. Presumably due to shortages when manufactured.
He fitted relays to control the headlight which made an enormous difference to their effectiveness.
The vape electronic ignition/generator systems available for these bikes are absolutely superb by the way. They are fit and forget items. They come in 6 and 12V and give you a reliable electrical supply and a superb, correctly timed spark with no mechanical parts like contact brushes, breaker points and mechanical regulators. Not the cheapest things though. Your wiring will cope with 12v because you half the current when you step up from 6v. You'd need to change all the bulbs though.

It's funny that i could not find crimping pliers in 6 local stores that sells electric material. Lol. Next week i will check in some malls in town. Damn, Belgrade is a 2 mil city, and i can't find a stupid pliers. Weird.
Meanwhile, there are some more pics to show.

https://i.imgur.com/tkjjI01.jpg?1
Just opened clutch cover and as you can see, everything is in perfect condition. Almost...
https://i.imgur.com/jU2gGG3.jpg?1
Throw out bearing is ok. Clutch cable is ok, too.
https://i.imgur.com/9BDgj00.jpg?1
But not everything is ok. Here you can see a broken part of a spring that pulls back starter lever. My guess is that it fits in that hole that you can see in the background. Anyway, it's broken. Any ideas?
And for last. DDR mark.
