Leather Saddlebags

Our genuine cowhide leather saddle bags are made by hand by our supplier, a husband and wife team. The purchase the leather, they dye it themselves, the hand cut it, and they even hand stitch it themselves. Truly old world craftsmanship.

 

New H-D Panhead seats

Our seats are but by hand from the pan up. The Pan is modeled after the Harley Panhead, so it fits those models as well.

 

The leather is 2 mm thick, and hand dyed. It is then hand cut, and hand stitched.

 

Hand tooled leather is also available.

 

These seats will fit on the H-D Panhead, the BMW /2 (with the T-Bar as well), the Chang Jiang, and the Ural.

Jimbo's Shop in Video!

Just a short video to present our sidecars. Check it out.  

 

The Brains

In the right corner, in the blue sweatshirt with the welding mask: Jim Bryant! Yup, it's me. Born and raised in the glorious state of New Hampshire, United States, I used to be a race car driver. My gig was IndyCars, and for many years I sweated over big engines, hot asphalt, and racy girls.

 

My pro career then moved to China where I introduced several large US companies like Pizza Factory and Subway. This is when I met the love of my life, and decided to make Beijing my permanent home. 

 

I got involved with ChangJiang motorcycles back in the mid-1990s, when my wife had the good taste to offer me a vintage sidecar to remind me of my good ole days.

 

I was hooked, and the bug never left me. Over the years, I have restored and built more CJ 750 sidecars than I can shake a dipstick at. On the last count, I believe I was at over 50 custom builds and BMW-motor conversions.

 

God blessed me, I love my job!

 

And in the left corner, in deep purple sweatshirt, all black hair out: Kian Jian Chao! Call me Kang. I don't speak much, let's make it fast. 

 

I started working on ChangJiang motorcycles as a mechanic in the Chinese Army back in 1985, over 20 years ago.

 

Left the army, but never stopped taking care of these workhorses. Built my own clientele in Beijing where everybody knows me. Then partnered with Jimbo as one of the only guys in town who really knows his shit.

 

We're out there to build the best ChangJiang bikes, bar none. Clients swear we deliver the goods. That's all I have to say.
