The first pictures of the new Beta Project motorcycle. As it is built, we will post new pictures for you to see how it is progressing.
The Tear down of the beta CJ The engine all cleaned up and ready for reassembly.
The latest on Beta. Here's the engine Gerald built for the Beta project. It's an early production Type I engine from 1960. It's fitted with a crank that was custom made in 2003 and patterned after one that's been out of production since 1972. FAG bearings from Germany and 1993 M1-2 OHV short-skirt pistons were also used. The domed pistons increase compression and promote cooling. The rings are early-eighties OHV Type I—the best ever manufactured in PRC. The jugs date to the seventies. The heads are 1970 NOS from PLA Factory 7436. The head gaskets are sixties vintage PLA-issue—solid copper. The distributor is PLAAF, 1969. The clutch disks are also NOS PLA-issue. The generator is a Zu Guang from 1981. It too is PLA-issue. When the Beta restoration is finished the bike will be offered for sale.
