How will the bike be restored?
We restore our bikes
according to the wishes of our customers.
Step 1:
Disassemble the bike
We start be disassembling the
bike into some 2600 individual parts. Each
part, one by one, is restored or replaced
with "New Old Stock"
Chinese Army surplus parts.
Step 2: Prepare for paint or powder coat
finishes
•
remove the original green paint by sand blasting
• apply primer
undercoat
• sand it by hand for hours or days until it totally
smooth
• re-apply primer undercoat again as needed
• repeat the above steps until the surface
is ready for the first layer of paint.
• final paint: In our in
house paint shop we use BASF, DuPont and other top brand
lacquer paints.
• pinstriping or
flames are applied as
requested by our clients and then clear coated
• our paint jobs
are made with great detail and beauty. The final job will be a one
of a kind art work. Your are desired patterns or pictures are welcome.
Step 3: Chroming Parts
Chroming parts job was out sourcing to the
best plating factory in Beijing China.
Step 4: Polish
Entire engine and gear box was polished.
It takes about 7 days but the resulting chrome-like finish is amazing.
Step 5:
Assemble
After all the paint, plating and polished
parts was gathering together then we starting assembly the bike. We only
use the stainless bolts and nuts for assembly.
• We change all the gaskets and sealers to top quality new ones;
• Check and replaced the bearings with top quality German and Japanese
made bearings for internal engine and all the wheels;
• New plating custom pipes for great looking,
environment friendly and true motorcycle sound;
• Upgrade to a brand new gear box with reverse gear for every show
quality bike with sidecar.
Step 6:Quality control in
shop and on the road for test
We will ride the newly assembly bike for
at least 200 Km for real road
performance test. Most time it is problem free. If there is a problem,
we will rework on it and fix it in the spot.
It only takes about 15 days
to do the whole restoration.
Tips:
1. All military bikes have a
24HP flathead engine. The gearbox has four forward speeds and no
reverse. However, we can upgrade your bike to a 32HP overhead valve
engine and install a gearbox equipped with reverse.
2. All 12 V bikes are upgraded to dual 12V
electric starter with kick starter.
