From Leo:

"Can you see the special place from these pictures? Yes, the wire is different. We changed all wire on the bike. Not the silver cover, the wire inside the cover. We used the aviation electric cable. I believe this bike is the first CJ750 to use aviation wire and I believe it is revolutionary on a Chang Jiang because it is a very good improvement."
