More close ups of the 1960's RT125

A couple of pictures of this one and a description was posted back in January. Here are a few more pictures of its classic Teutonic features.
 Note the shape of the air box. Inside is a metal gauze very similar to that on the IWL scooters.

 As proof that it is just a collection of bits a bungie holds up the exhaust. The rear sprocket and chain case is metal.
 View of the engine from the the other side.
 A bakerlite box for the electrics that was made on Craggy Island. Didn't check the under side of the seat to see if it was made by RS ! I bet replacing the electrical box is tricky and pricy.
