April 6, 2007  
 
March 21, 2007  
A bike done up in a traditional BMW motif. This one is a Super. Notice the chrome headlight bucket and sidecar windshield.
March 21, 2007  
This Super was built to resemble an Afrika Korps R71 from WWII.
It's a well-equipped bike indeed. Check out the saddle bags and the ammo boxes. It features a vintage style CJ taillight and old style headlamp.
The black exhaust system looks good on this machine.
April 3, 2005  
This M1 Super was built for a pilot who lives in Canada who looks rather pleased, especially in the first photo.
Leather saddle bags are right at home on this particular bike, done up to resemble an R71 (even if it is an OHV.)
Hank will surely have a good time riding around on his new CJ.
March 8, 2005  
A black OHV with red pinstripes.
The lowered front fender enhances the look of a CJ750.
The red striping looks excellent against the black paint.
Classic profile.
Chromed coffee can and rear seat pedestal.
Chromed sidecar trunk hinge straps too.
March 8, 2005  
Eight CJ frames that have been stripped and await new paint. CJS has a very busy shop. Perhaps one of these frames will end up on your bike someday.
February 28, 2005  
Have you ever seen polished aluminum that looks like chrome plating? This is the engine for a bike Shao is building for Mike Swope.

A red OHV.
Left-hand sidecar (and a right-hand mounted toolbox.)
January 31, 2005  
Shao poses aboard his phantom black OHV machine.
January 29, 2005  
This OHV solo is one of two CJs shipping to Miin Leong in BC, Canada. He'll then have four Changs built by Shao.
January 28, 2005  
Miin's neighbor is a pilot for Air Canada who visited Beijing. He now owns a flattie with a sidecar. (The enlarged image shows the whole bike.) The sidecar looks like a tight squeeze.
January 28, 2005  
Flames are the rage in Beijing these days and Shao's bikes are no exception. Imagine the amount of time and effort that went into painting this sidecar bucket.
January 15, 2005  
It's amazing how good a CJ can look. Shao built this M1 to resemble a prewar R71.
January 9, 2005  
Here's a bike built to resemble a WWII vintage BMW.
This one is a 12V 24hp SV.
It has a toolbox tank.
 
December 22, 2004  
This Super is fairly conservative bike by Shao's standards.
It's semi-gloss black which you have to admit looks very good.
December 5, 2004  
A Super done up to resemble a WWII Afrika Korps machine.
Desert Tan looks right at home on a CJ. This bike has a number of accessories including a coffee can taillight, steel ammo boxes, knee pads on the fuel tank, bullet blinkers and stencils.
November 26, 2004  
Shao and Jim Bryant were the subjects of a magazine article. In the enlarged image you'll see a familiar picture of Jim, his family and one of his bikes.
I tried to keep it readable so the file size is pretty big. The thumbnail here is just a detail from the page. You'll see Shao on an OHV in the enlarged view.
November 14, 2004  
Another happy customer on his new Super.
October 29, 2004  
Here's an M1M with three French gentlemen.
October 27, 2004

Very nice bike.
October 14, 2004  
This is Jeff from Canada sitting on his Super.
September 14, 2004  
An M1M solo.
Those saddle bags are sweet.
This bike is tastefully done IMHO.
This dude was at Shao's shop and posed on the bike.

Leather saddle bags look great on this bike. Nice pinstriping job, too.

Good job.

How do you like the camouflage paint job Shao's doing on this tank?
