My Project

Postby stuart-glos » Fri May 25, 2012 1:57 pm

I thought you might like to see my 301 project.

I've never had an MZ before but wanted a 2 stroke I could use in the winter around the back lanes. Old Jap trail bikes are becoming expensive and I like odd bikes (I've also got a Guzzi) so bought a 301 and have now striped it down. First job - replace the steering head bearings followed by a wire brush and some black paint on the frame...

So the plan is to convert it into a trail bike type of thing...

Looks good, It will be a lot lighter than my HD MT350 :-)

I wish I could find a 301 at a reasonable price, one on ebay went for £1325 the other day, nice but way to much for me :-(

Good luck,
appyarry

if you got to ask price here in the usa
that MT350 would be way over budget
and an mt500 is Unobtainium
