MZ TS 250/1 new owner

[Smudge66]

This is the look I would like to acheive

Hi All
I am new to this site and would like to say hello....
I would also like some advice please
I am not new to motorcycles but I am new to the MZ scene..
If anyone cares to have a chat.......... I have just been given an MZ TS 250 circa late 70's, as much as I like the quirkiness of the standard bike I feel that I want to make a 'Café Racer' from it as I have seen a one on Google that has caught my eye.
My questions are as follows
if one junks the air box and uses a K+N will I need to re jet?

If I want to run a slightly larger rear wheel (AN AKRONT 3.50x17 inch RIM) will I need to modify the swing arm? and what would be a good tyre to use ?

How large can I go to achieve a 'fat ' look with a front tyre on a standard rim of should I go for a wider rim laced to standard hub ?

Is there a wiring diagram on her somewhere that will allow me to have a very basic loom( front light, rear light, brake light, horn, high low switch, no ignition barrel/switch just an on/off switch and obviously power to coil) ?

I have room to place a battery under the hump of the seat but want to keep section where air box was clear.

I think its best to point out that I wont be racing anywhere on it this is more aesthetic

I would also be interested to know whether there is anyone in or near Medway in Kent who may be able to give me any pointers ( payment in beer and crisps )

Thanking you all in advance

Welcome Smudge..
K and N is OK ,Loads of room for a fat tire and 17 or 18 inch rim The standard wiring loom only has flashers as extra over your list. I have run bikes with and without flashers and I would recommend having some even if they are little and tucked in a bit
I don't know about the fat front tire except that it will look cool but upset the handling a bit.

Many thanks for your reply,

The bike I have is a bit of an unknown quantity as the wiring loom is rough to say the least.
I think I will have to get a manual lol
Cheers

the k and n filters on my 660 traveller were replaced with the Stock air box
due to water intake in the surprise monsoon rain storms we get with no warning ..
riding home in a storm is no fun to start with
and is even less when the bike wants to die...
