Important note regarding the fork oil for the hydraulic front fork

I would like to point out that standard brake fluid should not be used in the dampers of the late-model's hydraulically damped front fork. Although the technical manual D624/1 refers to "brake fluid," it is primarily referring to a light mineral-based hydraulic oil.

While it is possible to use "standard" polyglycol-based brake fluid, doing so only causes problems in modern-day operation.

Historic Kettenkrad model

Recently I got pictures and detailed information about a formerly unknown historic precision model of the Kettenkrad. At least unknown to me.

The model is 31 cm (12") long, so roughly 1/10 scale and weighs more than 3 kg. It had high ranking previous owners, who were involved in the development of the real Kettenkrad.

Who has seen such a model before?
