Help with Identification of Chassis
Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2024 9:59 pm
First, I am NOT very knowledgeable on these old bikes, I love the Pressed frames and have wanted one for many years.
I was wondering if anyone can pick apart this bike? Told by owners son it's a CJ750, but I've not seen a Ural or CJ with the pressed frame, only EMW.
Googleing around this is where I am at. I am thinking it's a bit of a custom built setup grafted together from 3 or more bikes.
Front end looks R12, forks and fender
Front of frame seems more R35 than R12, no rivets (?) Between logo and steer tube
Rear of frame is R71/CJ750 style, upper shock lugs are short vs R35, seat mount linkage style with near horizontal spring under seat attached to rear fender.
Rear fender looks like some adaptation of the R7, don't see any other models that have one like this
Motor is obviously a later airhead
Sidecar is likely CJ750.
Anyway, any insight?
Any value thoughts on it?
Thanks
Matt
