The above are a couple of pics of mine........I ride it around Shanghai,but not as much as I should.
Below are a couple of bikes I know that are for sale.
Unregistered and that's why one of them can still be customized before registration......doing this afterwards would be difficult to get the work on the official books. The green one is a really nice ex PLA type bike restoration. Tempted to buy it myself.

The guy that made it thinks it's great.......it's that transulcent paint that changes colour depending on the angle it's viewed at.
I told him it would need to be painted to be sale-able to a western eye.
I've noticed some cultural style disconnects between Chinese and Western tastes.:biggrin:
Red and blue is a poor choice but in the details the bike looks nicely built. The black engine is cool, it seems to have been polished then powder coated.
Do you have any pictures of CJS Brice?
I suggested Matt black body work...keeping the red frame......and an old style sidecar. It's got one from a M5.......looks all wrong.

Black wheels as you suggest.........black out all the chrome.
The translucent paint just looks wrong IMHO..........no matter the frame colour.
Fancy wheels for a gold painted CJ.

great pics Brice
***********************
I MUST buy one. When I look at these CJs I'm getting emotional. Even if they are a pain in the ass on a daily basis, like the Enfields they are loaded of extraordinary riding stories in the most challenging places.
Cool bike...
I agree with you Brice. I love these old CJs!
More pics please!

Brice, owning a chang isn't so troublesome - if you have a trustworthy mechanic that get the problems sorted out - you will be out riding, not wrenching :scooter: :thumbup:
It took a long time (ok, a very long time) but I finally got my chang sorted out with the help of an old Mr. Wang who lives in a nearby town. He's the only chang mechanic in Chengdu but he is amazing. His shop is in complete disarray, everything has a thick layer of dust on it and parts are everywhere... but he is the real deal.
Here is my chang from last year. I've since swapped the 32hp OHV engine out with a 24hp M1M engine (12v) that Mr. Wang had in his repair shop. New Old Stock! Never used! After 2000km of break in (maximum speed during this time is 40kph)...that took many months... I'm left with an amazing machine.
I've left it for more than 3 or 4 months at a time, parked outside with all the bicycles under a plastic awning. Turn the key to check electricity - red light comes on (still has juice), prime the carbs by pressing the little pumps on top (using months old gas), push the kickstart down half a dozen times to get the oil flowing a little in the cylinders, then turn the key back on and give it a kick, ONE KICK and it starts right up.
Astonishing machine. Just astonishing.
I really can't say enough good things about a well-sorted out Chang. Mine is so reliable I'll never sell it. (Besides, my wife and I have so many happy memories from the day trips and weekend trips we've taken on it.)
Every foreigner in China ought to have one... :biggrin:
