Here's an OHV with many details inspired by vintage Harley-Davidsons.  
 
 
How about these Indian-style valanced fenders? This M1M has a custom fuel tank and loads of other vintage cruiser details.
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
One Panzer Grey and two Afrika Korps Desert Tan. Which one would you like parked in your garage?
 
What recession? This load of CJS bikes is bound for new owners in Europe.
 
 
This OHV has a left-hand sidecar and crash bars.
 
 
 
A truckload of CJS bikes heading for their new homes.
 
 
 
A red OHV solo.
 
An M1M with enhancements.
 
This M1M sports burgundy paint with gold pinstriping, leather saddle bags, leather seats, custom forks and highly polished aluminum.
 
 
Enlarge the images for panoramas of machines bound for the US.
 
 
 
 
CJS bikes heading for America. Their export license permits the shipment of a dozen bikes at a time, saving money for the customers.
 
CJS now stocks leather jackets with CJ750 designs on them. Take a look.
 
A WWII tribute bike. This one's an OHV in Afrika Korps desert tan.
 
OHV with LH sidecar. Wouldn't it look nice sitting in your driveway?
 
Another terrific bike from CJS.
 
Shao just acquired 14 more vintage PLA bikes to restore.
 
How about the forks on this M1M? She also has disc brakes.
 
An OHV with interesting forks.
 
Here's a full container's worth of bikes bound for Europe.
 
Feast your eyes on this little sweetie, complete with M5 hubs and a fine blue paintjob.
 
An M1M R71 tribute bike.
 
The rims are painted exactly as they were on early BMWs.
 
Bikes in Wisconsin.
 
 
 
 
These six restorations are about to start their journey to America.
 
This left-hand sidecar bike was built for a customer in Japan. Shao reckons it might even be the first CJ in the country.
 
 
 
A bike done up in a traditional BMW motif. This one is a Super. Notice the chrome headlight bucket and sidecar windshield.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.)
 
Shao poses aboard his phantom black OHV machine.
 
This OHV solo is one of two CJs shipping to Miin Leong in BC, Canada. He'll then have four Changs built by Shao.
 
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.
 
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.
 
It's amazing how good a CJ can look. Shao built this M1 to resemble a prewar R71.
 
Here's a bike built to resemble a WWII vintage BMW.
This one is a 12V 24hp SV.
It has a toolbox tank.
 
 
This Super is fairly conservative bike by Shao's standards.
It's semi-gloss black which you have to admit looks very good.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Another happy customer on his new Super.
 
Here's an M1M with three French gentlemen.
 
Here's a solo M1M.
Pinstriping, chrome, toolbox, coffee can, etc. Lots of goodies on this one.
Very nice bike.
 
This is Jeff from Canada sitting on his Super.
 
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.
 
An M1M solo.
Leather saddle bags look great on this bike. Nice pinstriping job, too.
 
Another terrific bike from CJS.
 
This Chang is wild.
Good job.
I know guys who'd really go for paint like this.
 
How do you like the camouflage paint job Shao's doing on this tank?
 
An M1S done up in Afrika Korps Desert Tan.
 
An M1S with early BMW styling elements.
 
An M1S built by Shao.
This one has elements of a WWII-era BMW R71.
The leather bags look most excellent.
