My NZ 350 1939

Post by mickey » Sat Jul 01, 2006 12:09 am

I wonder if anyone could help me to find some documents which could help me reconstruct my nz perfectly. It´s almost finished but there are some details left... I wonder if anyone would have any pictures or documents that could help me out here?
I thank you alredy!

the more precise questions you ask, the more precise answers you'll get

if you need archive pictures there are plenty of them here
if you need pictures of restored bikes look here
you may try the Downloads part as well - Frame plates, Painting your NZ correctly, German licence plates, Markings on the DKW NZ - its all here

welcome and have a nice time on the NZ 350 discussion forums

Hi Mickey,

according to the repairmanual from 01.04.1944, page 125, from 19. August 1942 onwards the front licence plate on German Wehrmacht bikes is no longer fitted.
That makes it easy to answer your question: All bikes registered before that date have a licenceplate on the front mudguard, all bikes registered after that date havent.

regards

So they should have a license plate...Éven if they were sold abroad they always had a license plate int front? Because my bike doesn´t have one and there´s no atachments for such a plate on the mudguard.

No, what I stated about licence plates applies only to Germany in the war years. If your bike was imported into your homecountry originally, then the rules of your homecountry apply. The absence of mounting holes in your front mudguard is a clear evidence that no license plate was fitted to your bike when new.

For example, in Bulgaria the front licence plate was in use till the late 1960s, afterwards it was not allowed, for rider's safety. On my bike I have four mounting holes on the front mudguard. I wonder which are the "original"?
