Whoa! Check out these military themed bikes, complete with utility trailers!

Take a look at this! It's an M1M with a very cool trailer. Recognize those fenders? This bike is awesome!

South Korea's KBS sent a TV crew to film BKMC in action yesterday.
The club put around ten Changs on display and demonstrated their riding skills.
The producer is preparing a CDROM full of professionally made images for Shao.
I sure hope some of those pictures their way here!
Look at all these fantastic Changs!

Another terrific bike from CJS.

M1M! The automotive BMW emblem looks pretty good.
May 20, 2004  
Take a gander at this M1M! It has pinstriping and just the right level of flash. Nice.
May 17, 2004  
Another flashy M1S from CJS!
This one's a bit more conservative than the flame job posted below.
The white upholstery looks pretty good.
The slightly contrasting shades of blue on the bike and the hubs is a nice touch.
May 16, 2004  
Welcome to CJ Sidecar's new showroom!
Wow! Look at all those beautiful Changs parked out front!
May 15, 2004  
This M1S outfit was done up to resemble an R71.
Chrome forks, tan sidecar seat leather and numerous other details set this bike apart.
Here's one of Shao's trademark flame jobs. It looks pretty fast doesn't it?!

This M1 solo is one of Shao's tributes to the 1938 R71. Have you ever noticed how much different a black CJ looks once it's been pinstriped? It definitely looks vintage.
April 6, 2004  
Not all of Shao's bikes have radical paint jobs. Take, for example, this M1S CJS just built for Marc Davis. You can't get much more conservative than this. It captures some of the R71 spirit, especially with the pinstriping. Sweet bike indeed.

Here's the gas tank from Shao's latest project bike! Remember the band Grateful Dead from the sixties? This bike reminds me of their album covers.
From another angle. The enlarged image shows the whole thing.
Here's the rear fender...
...and here's the back of the sidecar fender.
And the front of the sidecar fender.
And last but not least, the sidecar trunk lid. Shao is very excited about this project. It will be quite a bike when it's completed, that's for sure.

Shao thought we'd be interested in seeing some of the items that might be found in the sidecar of a Beijing Military Police bike... and he's right. This is a box for the special hand-held lights the police use to stop traffic. The brand—as you can see—is COERC.
And this box—marked COERCE—contains something most of us have never seen and probably never will except on TV...
...spike strips! I'd sure hate to run over a set of these!
February 22, 2004  
The enlarged version of this picture is a panoramic view of 33 PLA bikes, some of which have whitewall tires! WOW!
January 28, 2004  
Here's how Shao's latest bike looks without the sidecar—coooool!
Shao loves this bike. He may have a hard time saying goodbye when it's sold.
Somebody is going to absolutely love owning this bike, no question about that..
January 14, 2004  
WOW! This is Shao's latest creation, a custom M1M solo.
Look at all the chrome and polished aluminum...
...not to mention that paint job! These bikes take on a whole new look when the rear seat pedestal is left off. Sweet.
Look at those chrome pipes!
Somebody is going to love owning this bike.

To CJ enthusiasts and distributors everywhere, blessings for a happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year from Shao.
Christmas  
Shao sent this image to show how his shop strips components right down to the bare metal, the first step of a good refinishing job. A lot of work goes into Shao's bikes.

These PLA soldiers are posing with a CJ M1M which you can see in the enlarged image. That might explain the big smile!
12/9/03  
Shao acquired this Russian IZh Jupiter sidecar bike in a town near the Russian border. He'd like to sell it. For more pictures click here and here.
12/3/03  
Let's take a look inside the CJ750-X engine. What's this? Some of the castings have BMW logos! (The enlarged image shows much more.)
Here's another one. (Again, the enlarged image shows more.) Shao's assertion that the 750-X engine was in fact built by BMW is supported by these details. Very interesting indeed.
12/1/03  
More on the CJ750-X. This is the bike it came from, a CJ swing-arm frame racer.
The racing team ordered around 20 6V CJs with sidecar frames but no buckets.
The front brake and final drive are BMW while everything else was made in China.
Shao also notes that there are BMW logos on the engine and components. We'll try to get some images of them for you.
11/27/03  
WOW! Have you ever seen a CJ750-X engine? According to Shao it's actually a BMW engine in disguise!
When China founded the first national motorcycle team they bought the bike from which this engine came. During that time there were only two of these BMWs.
Both were sidecar racing models. For some reason they put the CJ logo on the engine. In the race there were ten CJs and two BMWs. They only raced twice and result was for sure—BMW won every time.
This is most certainly a rarity and if you're keen on repowering your CJ with a Beemer engine, this one would be perfect!
11/24/03  
This is Shao's idea of a WWII BMW R75 replica.
It features Afrika Korps tan and appropriate markings. Riding around on a bike like this would be great fun!
Nice ammo box. too. Not only does it look good but it has a large carrying capacity as well.
Steel ammo boxes are right at home on a CJ.

Shao is famous! We'll see if we can get some proper scans of this Beijing magazine article for you.
Meanwhile...
...another customer is on the line.
In the enlarged image you'll see five of Shao's bikes.
The enlargement shows an exerpt from the article...
...as does this one.
11/9/03  
Does your state require emissions testing? If so, you might want to take a look at this.
It's a filtration system with a small catalytic converter cartridge.
Contact Shao at the e-mail address above if you'd like more information on this system.
10/29/03  
A beautiful line of Changs owned by members of Shao's club, Beijing Knights MC. Wow!
10/25/03  
Yaaaa-hoooo! Here comes one of Shao's bikes with the chair high in the air! Look out!
10/21/03  
This M1 started life in 1960 as a PLA bike.
Looks a little different now!
There's a lot of chrome plating and polish on this machine.
You can enjoy a bike like this with the sidecar attached or you can ride it...
...solo. This bike is currently available from Shao's shop.
The rear fender looks nice without the rear seat pedestal.
Look at those chrome straight pipes, too!
Contact Shao at the e-mail address if interested in buying this fine bike.

This M1S is presently available from Shao's shop.
Great Afrika Korps theme on this M1 Super.
M72 style sidecar frame with gas can to boot.
BMW emblems and black-out cover on the headlamp.
And a very stout front fender bracket. Look out Monty!
10/14/03  
Take a look at this M1 Super that Shao built. Wow!
The gold pinstriping was all done by hand.
There's a $4500 price tag on this CJ, FOB Beijing...
...or $2998 without the sidecar.
What a sharp looking bike!
9/29/03  
Four old PLA bikes—each with less than 1000km on the odometer!
 
This is a CJ that Shao built—photographed in Sweden!
8/29/03  
A nice assortment of number and ID tags Shao removed from bikes being dismantled in his shop. Recognize any of them?
These frame tags date from 1960, 1969 and 1987. Neat!
8/22/03  
Take a look at this M1 Super.
The character of a bike is based largely on its paint color.
Notice the script on the fuel tank too.
Somebody is going to love owning this CJ.
8/23/03  
This is a nice M1 solo.
It's a clean bike with just the right amount of chrome.
The side stand is mounted on the forward engine mount.
Nice!
Here's an M1 sidecar machine. Notice anything unusual?
The gas tank emblem is backwards!

Shao sent a few more shots from his shop in Beijing. This one is a CJ R71 copy which is on its way to its new owner, Alex Avezbakiyev. See Scott's page for a couple more images of this bike as well as a whole bunch on Alex's page.
And here is a CJ sidecar decorated BMW-style.
This is a BMW R80 with a CJ sidecar.
 
Shao has been working on Changs since he was 17. This one was built in his shop. It's been stretched 10cm. Looks a little bit like a Harley.
This BMW R71 sidecar copy was also built by Shao.
