Stephen Boyce in Michigan

 








Stephen Boyce's 6V M1 solo has plenty of character. As a matter of fact, it's one of the best looking solos I've ever seen. It was built by Gerald in Beijing who took these photos prior to shipping the bike.

Here are some details shots and images that were made as the bike was being prepared for shipment to the US.

This bike has a Bailing (Lark) brand horn, model DL79-6.

Pretty nice ain't it? With the stock engine and gearbox surfaces the bike could easily be mistaken for a pre-war machine.

What a beauty!

The taillamp is indeed a correct vintage CJ application. (It's the same assembly that's used on sidecars nowadays.) The wiring is run externally and uses old style fabric insulation which gives the bike a very sweet vintage look. There's also a rear fender reflector. The bike also has a lowered front fender which further enhances the overall appearance. Having no rear saddle is also a visual enhancement although it does limit the bike to one person.

Other nice details include a frame-mounted toolbox, a rugged PLA rear fender, knee pads on the gas tank, lugs for a front license plate and numerous other touches.

By the way, that's Alpha parked in the background of the fifth picture.
