The model names “Salzburg” and “Baron” were not on the bikes anywhere. Instead all three models were labeled as “Deluxe”.

So in a way, there are three kinds of Foxi Deluxe: Foxi Deluxe, Foxi Deluxe (Salzburg), Foxi Deluxe (Baron).

KTM Side Covers: The KTM light grey chain guards, aka engine covers, are two pieces on each side. The back pieces are fixed to the swing arm. The front pieces, aka “side covers”, detach by quarter-turn plastic fasteners. They say “De Luxe” within the black horizontal stripe. They are what gets lost and are not available, sorry. However, Myrons has most of the screws and fasteners, and the rear chain guard pieces.

Some frame rails, shocks, luggage racks, forks, fenders, are available but not listed here, yet.
The following parts are the same on a KTM Foxi and a Sparta Foxi: Sachs 504 engine, CEV headlight, Magura levers, CEV switches, and possibly the CEV horn.
The following parts are different: the KTM frame (with lifting handle), fork, and frame, straight not curvy like Sparta, the CEV magneto 80mm 3-wire with an external ignition ground (blue wire), not Bosch 4-wire with internal ignition ground, the 17″ rims with Grimeca hubs and brakes, not 16″ rims with Leleu, the rear brake plate is specific to KTM and Hercules and is rare because it gets bent, the brake light wiring, normally closed switches in series, not normally open switches in parallel.
