In 1985, the three friends, Martin Wolfien and Marko and Tino Kindermann, living in Berlin-Lichtenberg, made their dream of an elegant sports tourer come true by building a complete homemade fairing. Creating moldings from fiberglass-reinforced plastic, they made an East German MZ ETZ 250 look more like a Yamaha XJ 600 or a Kawasaki GPZ400R. The decked-out MZs garnered so much attention from motorcycle fans that they later sold fifteen assembly kits, some to contract laborers from Cuba and Vietnam. Production of the moldings for the full fairing of KiWo motorcycles, 1987.
