And yet another older Chang Jiang that we restored.

The bike has a rebuilt BMW R80 (800cc) motor with electronic ignition. The motor is polished to a chrome-like finish, along with a 4 speed with reverse transmission.

We powder coated (the frames)and painted the bike. We mounted pre-war style tail lights to the back of the bike, and an old VW marker light to the sidecar fender.

 

The bike features our Panhead based leather seat for long distance comfort as well as a leather upholstered sidecar interior.

 

 

The sidecar is an all steel Chang Jiang tub mounted on a robust frame with a torsion bar suspension and leaf springs as well.

 

 

A true classic cruising machine, this bike satisfies the customer with high performance and easy handling.

We shifted this bike from a Honda Shadow 750 V Twin, a classic cruiser with a cool sporty look.

We built a subframe for the bike for greater comfort when racing on either the road or highway.

We also added an all steel Donghai sidecar to the bike. The Dong Hai factory manufactured the sidecars originally for the PLA, so the quality is of high-standard.

 

We engineered the sidecar mounts for this bike and test ride it to make sure it rides true and straight with no handling ills.

Yes, believe it or not this IS a Chang Jiang 750.

The frame is stock, with the stock plunger rear suspension, now exposed.

The front end is a Springer.

The fat wheels and tires are also borrowed from the classic American Cruiser.

We bobbed the rear fender and fabricated a custom stainless steel exhaust.

The seat is also a custom piece from chrome with leather inserts.

Powering this bike is a BMW R75/5 motor coupled to a 4 speed transmission.

As good as it looks, it rides even better.

Lightweight, nimble, but with plenty of scoot.

This bike started out as a plenty used 1967 R50/2. We stripped the bike down to bare metal and did a frame up restoration.

Then we added a 1000cc BMW motor and 5 speed transmission.

We then installed an all steel Donghai sidecar, extending the length 10 cm for the owners rather tall passenger.

We rebuilt and polished the motor, transmission, and rear drive.

Then for stopping power we added twin disc brakes up front, with the brake fluid reservoir being hidden beneath the gas tank.

 

Besides riding this bike from San Francisco to Maine, it has traveled far and wide all over China.
