Newbie so please excuse silly or obvious questions
I have a 73 CZ 250 which needs some (arguably a lot) work and parts,
Engine - one of the transmission bearings is wasted which is what took the bike out of service circa 1979-1980. While it was sitting in my basement, both wheels broke. I'm wondering if that is common with this bike. I see wheels can still be purchased which is encouraging although I also have a Yammie 81 YZ125 and was thinking those wheels would be nice on the CZ if they could be adapted. Wonder if they would be considered Vintage legal for racing. The rear on the Yammie is chain on the right so it matches the CZ.
I bought CZ airshocks for it which I still have. I ran a Cleansweep pipe on the bike from the get go and also still have a completely fresh exhaust system. The bike ran well with the jikov carb with the CleanSweep.
When I uncrated the bike in 1975, I took off the tank and the front fender and like the aforementioned exhaust, they are in pristine condition other than a bit of dust. The seat is also in excellent condition. If it turns out the project is more than I feel like I should take on, everything would be up for sale.
Wondering what shops near or far from DC would be helpful to get to know. Thanks in advance.

I carried out a lot of groceries to support my racing. We had so much fun back then should have been a law against it, some of what we did there was a law against it LOL. We raced all over Oklahoma, North Texas and western Arkansas.
I glad to see shops still supporting vintage bikes.
