German Export Monkey |
American Minitrail Export |
1. Same headlight as American Minitrail and C50
2. Also has a quick release clip on the handle bars so the entire front fork assy can be removed for transport or storage. Throttle cable and, presumably, rear brake cable also have disconnect features. |
German Model uses a much larger headlight and housing. |

1.Here is that tool kit, you can bet its packing more than just a spark plug wrench like the Minitrail.
2.This is a 1971 model, but the fenders are of the shorter variety like the K-1 Minitrails (69-70) Not sure if this is original but I'll try to find out from the owner. |

Here is the quick disconnect for the wiring and throttle cable that allows the entire front fork assembly to be removed (note that even though there is additional hardware in the area, the hole that goes through the frame is still unused.
