A motorcycle named Ada...

Here are some recent photographs, featuring my quest to build a factory new KM 20. Using as many original parts as possible, many unique to prewar and early war machines. Where possible, new old stock. The majority of parts are the later, very few are reproduction, some are used. Named after one of my great-great-grandmothers.

New in today, a NOS Ammeter (dated September 1939). A year later than ideal but I won't let that bother me...too much 😁
