Following was done to get it looking like it is:

The former owner has changed some things. The handlebars were replaced by an Enduro one which is 93 cm wide. The horns were taken away under the tank. A power filter was placed behind the carb. The rear suspension was replaced by shorter and stiffer ones, it now feels like a hard tale. Both buddy seats were lowered and in the passenger one, the tail lights were placed. The rear mudguard was shortened. Small indicators are used to give it a more fun bike look.

Here are a couple of photos of my 1960 Jawa 250cc, Model 353/04. It’s a reasonably rare one in that the tank logo has Jawa-NZ instead of the more usual JAWA-CZ. This is because they were assembled in New Zealand for a short period in the late 1950's to early 1960's. I bought it as a complete wreck years ago, and just finished restoring it about 12 months ago. The trophies were won at the Ashburton Motorcycle Show in November (The major bike show in the South Island, New Zealand), where it won Best European Bike and Best Pre-1966 Bike. Just proves you don’t have to own a large glamorous bike to win prizes! I use it regularly, going to work and rallies and general weekend rides and it has proved to be reliable, once I got an initial electrical problem in the magdyno sorted out. John Benn (Christchurch, New Zealand)

This motorbike started life as a standard Jawa 350cc model 634 (1977 or thereabouts). The owner came from South Wales and the bike kept evolving at each annual rally until in the early 1980's it had a new engine transplanted from a Citroen 2CV. The gear lever came up between the tank and seat I suspect that got moved eventually. Where the bike and owner are now is a mystery but the hunt is on as it would be interesting to see if it still exists. Where is this bike now?
