heading for the USA. |

Here's a brand new old Type I engine case.
These are very rare, especially NOS. |

It's shown here with a Type I gearbox case. |

Dave Finlay's M1S! Wow! |
 |
The rear seat grab handle was left off at
Dave's request. I love that front fender! |
 |
Meanwhile, Gerald paid a visit to a local
chrome plating shop. |
 |
He's keeping them busy with an order for
enough bits to do 20 bikes. |
 |
This is the tank... |
 |
...and these are some of the parts. |
 |
Handlebar, sidecar hardware and rear seat
pedestals. |
 |
Front fender brackets? |
 |
Even a chromed center stand. |
 |
Sidecar wheel dust cover. |

 |
This PLA issue 1993 M1M is on deck for
restoration by LRM. It has an excellent
Lanxiang engine. |

|
 |
This is a 1987 PLA M1 undergoing restoration
for a customer at LRM. |
| April 6, 2004 |
|
 |
Looks like at least 50 gas tanks from Gerald's
latest buying trip to the legendary CJ Wonderland! |
 |
There's your classic CJ swoosh emblem. This
one appears to be a decal rather than a sticker. |
 |
One of the gas tank boxes. |
 |
A whole crate full of handlbar levers. |
 |
Throttle grips galore! |
 |
Handlebar risers too. |
 |
Spokes and nipples. |
 |
Rear seat pedestals. These are the good
ones! |
 |
Center stands. |
 |
Look at all those sidecar frames! |
 |
And look at the thorough job they did
wrapping them up. |
 |
How'd you like to be the one upwrapping all
of them? |
 |
And here are all the bike frames. |
 |
Gas tank fuel strainers. |
 |
Original style battery hold-down brackets.
These work with the tall 6V battery mounted on the frame
just aft of the foot shifter. |
 |
Brake light switches! |
 |
Last but not least, I count 27 saddles in
this shot12 front and 15 rear. You know who contact
for high quality vintage CJ partsLRM. |
| March 30, 2004 |
|
 |
Two more gorgeous LRM bikes
ready for their new owners. This one's an M1M... |
 |
...and here's an M1S with a lowered front
fender. |
 |
Nice details here. Look at those Chinese
number tags! I hope the new owner likes them as much as
we do! |
| March 26, 2004 |
|
 |
It's the main man! Gerald
sits on an M1S solo that'll soon be on its way to the US.
|
 |
That's a temporary exhaust system used for
testing purposes only. |
 |
Nice bike... I'll bet this thing will haul
ass. |
| March 25, 2004 |
|
 |
These two pretty black M1Ms are just being
completed at LRM. Who are the lucky
owners going to be? |
| March 24, 2004 |
|
 |
LRM just acquired more
interesting goodies including these mirrors. |
 |
You can see a set of them here on the cover
of the 1981 parts catalog. Neat! |
| March 22, 2004 |
|
 |
Dave Finlay's M1S nears
completion. Dave's gonna love it! |
 |
What an excellent bike! That lowered front
fender sure does look good. |
 |
The exhaust system is a temporary
installation for checking out the engine. Is this a sweet
looking Chang or what?! |
 |
Meanwhile inside the shop, LRM
has more bikes under construction. Here's one of them... |
 |
...and here's another. Gerald
lives CJ750s, 24-7. |
| March 21, 2004 |
|
 |
This M1S looks like it's ready for its new
home. Nice! |
 |
Four fresh Lanxiang M1M engines
awaiting installation on LRM bikes. |
 |
Does your CJ have a correct frame tag? If
not, you'd better contact LRM. This tag
was missing from my DTE bike. |
 |
An M1S being built in the LRM
assembly area. |
 |
You can already see that this is going to be
a terrific bike! |
 |
This is a great producta Km/H-MPH
speedometer. |
 |
LRM sidecar bikes are
fitted with correct sidecar mounting hardware. These
cotter pins are very important. |
 |
Another view. |
 |
LRM favors the use of Allen
screws and bolts for assembling various components. This
one is on a front fender. |
 |
Genuine vintage CJ hand grips! |
 |
An M1S engine just prior to installing the
deep sump oil pan. |
 |
With the pan in place. If you're going to do
any serious riding on a CJ, you absolutely must have a
deep sump. Trust me. |
 |
It just about doubles the crankcase
capacity. This modification will save your engine during
a long ride on a hot day. |
| March 16, 2004 |
|
 |
Driving around Beijing, down by the Shou
Gang furnace. What's that up ahead? |
 |
There's something familair in the back of
that blue truck. Let's catch up with it. |
 |
Whoa, now there's something you wouldn't see
in the States! |
 |
A pair of green M1Ms... on their way to LRM! |
| March 14, 2004 |
|
 |
LRM is very busy these
days. These are the clutches on an M1S solo currently
under construction. |
 |
Detail of the starboard jug... |
 |
...and the port side. Look at that number
tag! |
 |
This is the frame of an M1 solo that's soon
to be built. |
 |
Again, from the stern. You can see the 6V
battery tray on this frame. |
 |
Steering head on the M1 frame. |
| March 13, 2004 |
|
 |
What does LRM have in stock
these days? How about this M1S solo? |
 |
Or a sweet looking black M1M sidecar rig? |
 |
Bikes! Loads of them! |
 |
Here's another one. Look at all those
Changs! WOW! |
 |
Need fenders? |
 |
Fenders, gas tanks, etc. LRM
has everything. |
| March 12, 2004 |
|
 |
This is a 1966 CJ LRM is
restoring. It has an R71-style lowered front fender using
brackets that LRM makes in their shop. |
 |
This is a genuine vintage CJ taillight minus
the housing and lens. LRM uses vintage
style wiring with fabric insulation. |
 |
We've already seen how the bike taillight
wiring was routed on vintage Changs. Here's an example of
how it was done on the sidecar. This particular sidecar
is of the old M72 variety with the framework extending
over the fender. |
| March 7, 2004 |
|
 |
LRM sells these sidecar
duckboards. Here's how they look installeda perfect
fit. Looks like a very decent quality product. |
 |
Look at this huge stock of M1-2 pistons! You
know who to contact if you'd like a set. |
 |
And here's a dozen CJ enginesboth OHV
and SVall of which will find their way into LRM
project bikes. Wow! |
| March 6, 2004 |
|
 |
A Type I engine on deck for restoration by LRM. |
 |
This engine will eventually find its way
onto a restored vintage CJ. Type I engines had the
dipstick down low as you can see here. |
 |
A Type I disptick. |
| February 24, 2004 |
|
 |
This lovely M1S is a work in progress for
one of LRM's many customers. |
 |
Nice, eh? |
 |
I especially like the R71-style front fender
and thin braces. |
 |
Typical Chinese CJ battery tray. |
 |
The 6V Shengjia (Fine Sound)
DL38-6 is a great looking horn. They are available from LRM
at very reasonable prices. |
 |
This is a 1960 Type I CJ engine Gerald just
got. |
 |
The Type I has its dipstick mounted in a
lower position. Click here to learn more about vintage CJ
engines. |
 |
Vintage SV engine casings that LRM
keeps in stock for restorations. |
 |
Look at them all! |
| February 19, 2004 |
|
 |
On deck for restoration by LRM
is this 1968 M1 that Gerald picked up yesterday morning.
Take a look at the M72 style sidecar frame! |
 |
From the port side. It has the correct Type
II engine and an early Type II gearbox. |
 |
The rear fender is also vintage. It has
holes for the wiring and reflector. The taillight isn't
original. |
 |
A Type II headlamp with holes for screws,
not turn signals. The headlamp visor is a CJ trademark
not found on R71s or M72s. |
 |
It's all there! |
 |
The toolbox tank is not original since they
weren't produced before 1971. |
 |
Grease fittings like this aren't found on
modern CJs but they're everywhere on the older ones. |
 |
There's another one. |
 |
There's even one for the steering gear
buried under that dust. |
 |
And a 6V Shanghai horn. Maybe this bike will
become the Gamma Project. |
| February 12, 2004 |
|
 |
On deck for restoration at LRM
is this well-used, ex-PLA 1971 bike. (Hey, look at all
the neat bikes parked behind it!) |
 |
From the starboard quarter. |
 |
The sidecar frame is a bit different from
what's being sold nowadays. |
 |
Fuel tank tool box. |
 |
It'll clean up nicely, trust me. |
 |
Grease fitting on the seat pedestal. They no
longer make them like this. |
 |
Rugged handlebar mounting hardware too. It
makes mine look like a pile of junk. |
 |
This is sort of a rarity nowadays. It's a
vintage sidecar fender light which, unfortunately, has
been painted over. |
 |
And last but not least, something every
Chang Jiang should have, a vintage PLA rear fender
reflector... but not painted over. |
| January 9, 2004 |
|
 |
This 6V M1 belonged to one of LRM's
customers, an Australian girl. Sadly, this bike has since
been crushed due to the new regulations. |
