Re: An article to the public about CJ's

Your article said CJ production ended in 1989, true? My M1M has a long "modern"
VIN that supposedly translates to a 2002 when plugged into a VIN translator I
found on the web?
Thanks, Don in Big D (that's Dallas TX)

others need them. Recently I had an article published in a new "on Line"
motorcycle magazine. Go to www.allaboutbikes.com and look into their "everyday
riding" then the "everyday news" page. Who knows if anyone will be interested
but as you know I think folks with a CJ are.

I'm running Avon 400x19's that give me the flat profile and a fat tire look for my R75 lookalike. They run fine and wear well so far. I had to undo both braces...

The Duro tires are very soft like most Tiawan tires. If you put on the rear wheel and not swap them they will wear out in about 1800kms. If you swap them...

As near as I've been able to determine the last "factory" Changs were M5s built in 2004.  By "factory" I mean bikes built by government order.  They probably...

The Avons are the only high quality tire readily available in the US in sidecar profile for 19" wheels.  There is also a Dunlop and a Bridgestone that have...
