Hello,
New member Hans from Copenhagen/Denmark here.
Short introduction;
My first motorcycle back in 2002 was a 1984 31K.. For some silly reason I sold it and regretted it a few years later.
I've since been riding an old slow Dnepr/KMZ K750, and also have a 1955 DKW RT 250/2
Finally a few months I found a running but ugly LC2 that I've bought and is currently fixing up.
Bike will be built up in the original black with red/silver decals, except I'll keep it naked without the bikini/belly fairings (as they are missing anyways). I'll let it keep some of it's patina.
Funny things I found out after buying the machine;
The bikes first owner lived around 200 meters from where I live and it's a matching numbers bike
Bike is bored out to +2,25 - luckily the pistons and bores are just fine.
It has a rather interesting mod on the powervalves where the bushings have been replaced with 6003 (plastic sealed) bearings and 17x35x7 (non-heatproof) seals.
Cylinders are welded to fit this mod.
I'll keep on using this mod for now, but using steel sealed bearings and silicone seals instead of the burned out rubber.. Hope it holds out a bit better 
Attached is a photo of the power valve mod.
