Thank you very much to the guys who
were so helpful after my wreck in June, 2004Jim
Bryant, Marc Davis, Mark Fisher, Gerald Gardebled, Rich
Hahn, Chris Jordan, Tim Lagonegro, Stewart Martin, Shao
Yiqi and Daruisz Wiecha. You
guys are the greatest. |

I studied pictures to get some ideas, among
them several M72s with black rear seat pedestals like
this one. |
 |
But there's an excellent chance
it'll end up grey very soon. |
 |
The running lights on Mike Weaver's
Ivan served as inspiration for another modification. (So
did getting hit by a driver who couldn't see me.) |
 |
But to be honest, I'm not sure if this
really works that well. As a matter of fact, I took them
off the bike last night. |
 |
This is the old front fender and I sure do
miss her. I cut off the splash guard and made a mudflap
that was held in place using carriage bolts. It looked
great. |
 |
But I've decided that a correct style front
fender is an important detail to have on a CJ, so here we
are. It's a lowered fender but not quite as low as the
old one. I made the brackets from ½" steel tubing. Jim
Bryant hand-carried the fender and a half ton of
other parts on a flight from Beijing then sent them to me
via UPS. |
 |
Oh yeah. Black handelbars were common on
bikes way back when, so what the heck. |
 |
This is that old wire I told you about. It
has fabric insulation and looks right at home on this
bike. It's from eBay. |
 |
A vintage 6V coil. It has excellent Chinese
embossing around the outside and a Bakelite cap. |
 |
PLA air filter housing. It's slightly
smaller than the old one. |
 |
Vintage handgrip with CJ750 logo. |
 |
Good old Guiyang 6V regulator...
with some new paint. |
