Not sure if people have seen this trip Project Side by Side Shanghai to Paris on Chinese CJ750 side cars. I am in Shanghai on business and saw a really nice red CJ750 on the street and started looking into them. From what I gather they are basically a Chinese built Ural (not 2wd) based on the BMW R71. Anyway, interesting website and sounds like they had a fantastic trip.
