Anybody own a CJ750?

[CJ750]

Hi Flip. My CJ is registered and legal.The process has its hiccups but the most important is the fact that the tyres and lights had no standards on them. Luckily for me my bike is listed on the chinese paperwork(more details of that in a phone call,not a public arena such as this)my bike is a 1958 model which meant that pre 1959 not of that beauraucratic bullshit mattered.I will talk to VINZ next week to find out how to get around the problems.
My phone number if you want to talk to me is 09 4315210.

I would love to hear about the CJ in the shed in Hawkes bay.

I bought a well used one on TM a few years ago, has some Chinese docs saying 1959, turned out to be a mix of years.
Vinning place initially said no as front brake did not meet current conditions and manufacturer would not supply info.....but a " 59" is well over 20 years and that changes everything.
He was not sure of the LHD chair but said if it was not fitted it should be ok.
Got it vinned and put chair back on it.
Fun to ride, you would have to mechanically indifferent to ride it over 50 MPH.
Despite low CR, kickstart had a nasty bite....ouch. It also had electric.
VW Kombi/early Golf headlight fitted in the pod as original had no numbers.
As said before, original BMW design is good for 1937 but build quality is what you would expect....I doubt if they were ever intended as an export model.
novelty wore off fairly quickly, not a patch on my BMW R75/5 with Watsonian GP ( no reverse but don't need it).
The RHD chair would 'handle' better on our roads but saying that I rode my BMW in Europe and apart from being more of a handful it was ok...ish.
Good luck and have fun.
