Shouts "I am the Night Rider!" while committing all that mayhem in the middle of the day......

All Windjammer mounting brackets are subject to fatigue, stress, vibration fractures, and just plain old rust. I think your right on track for a successful repair. I designed and fabricated brackets for my 2006 Honda VT600. Needless to say none ever exsisted for my bike. Having an existing...

Make sure you pull the light pods out and check the lenses. The glue used back then degrades after a few decades. The lenses are glued to the bulb reflectors. The lenses can fall out while your riding from vibration. You'll never know when one or both have fallen out until you get off the bike...

My Russian Sidecar motorcycle was easy to setup because the motorcycle was designed to tow a sidecar. The manual even warns about attempting to ride the bike without the sidecar attached. After I got the engine problems worked out I did ride it without the sidecar just to make sure the engine...

All my "Corona" riding has been on my Russian Motorcycle. I managed to get the odometer up to 2,498 Km during this pandemic. Then I took the sidecar off it and proceeded to do the 2,500 Km service. During the 3 days required to do that I switched to my Vetter equipped Honda VLX 600. I've...

I don't think they will be coming down. The reason for that was evident at the service station I use that has ethanol free gasoline. They put up one of those plexiglass shields immediately after the lock down started. When I stopped for a fill-up yesterday they had replaced the plastic one for...

I found a Russian Military Sidecar Motorcycle in a barn just before Thanksgiving last year (2019). It's a KMZ Dnepr MT-11 not to be confused with the Russian civilian version of the IMZ Ural motorcycles still in production today. KMZ shut down Dnepr Motorcycle production in 1994 and sold all...

Welcome to the forum! Hopefully this Virus thing will go away soon with the heat. I've been out riding but it's just not the same without stopping to eat and meet others somewhere along the way. Nothing wrong with an old bike! It's the ride that matters and not what your riding. I prefer older...

ROFLMAO! That does look like a huge fairing! The place where I get my non-ethanol gasoline for my Motorcycles just put that clear sticky plastic wrap across two metal poles that hold the Cashiers Cigarette ready access rack above the counter serving the same function but it looks very Redneck...

The only difference between regular automotive lights for cars and trucks and those for Motorcycles are the filament wattage used. The old 7" sealed beam 'Motorcycle" bulbs had 35 watt filaments for both the high and low beams and the same light patterns as the Automotive bulbs. The old...

The LED bulbs for H4 filament type bulb replacement don't produce the correct light pattern. It's like putting a square plug in a round hole. They fit the hole on the bulb housing but stick out the back a lot more due to the required cooling fan. The LED headlights that come as a complete...

I replaced all the locks on my Vetter gear on my bike. Some had already been drilled out and none of the others had Key's so I had to drill those out myself. All my locks on the Vetter gear is keyed alike as a result. I still get nice comments on my Honda VT600 with a Windjammer 4, bags, and...

With that info in the manual you can get a new lock to fit in Tractor Supply. It's located in the hardware isle. If I remember correctly it's for 1/2 inch thick wood drawer facing. That 1/2 inch denotes how thick the wood is but directly relates to the length of the lock between the lock base...

Hello! I have a WJ4 on a 2006 Honda VT600CD. I designed and fabricated brackets for the fairing, bags, and trunk. My other Bike is a Soviet era Dnepr MT-11 military sidecar motorcycle. I drug it out of a barn just before Thanksgiving last year (2019). It was ordered from Bike Barn in Seattle...

Once you start riding don''t be surprised when people stop you to ask questions about your Bike. Most Bikers today have never seen Bikes fitted with a Windjammer and don't know what it is. The WJ also changes the look of the Bike it's fitted on. I once had a guy park his Honda VLX 600, which is...

No one has made a fairing that works as good as a Windjammer does to this very day. Even the latest factory built touring bikes are not as good. Craig did a lot of design work and wind tunnel time to get the fairing, bags, and trunk just right. It's too bad no one builds anything like it today.

This free sidecar manual will describe in detail how to fit a sidecar to a motorcycle. It should be downloaded and read by anyone that has a sidecar hack or contemplating buying one. Here's the link. http://www.bokblad.se/sidecar/SidecarManual.pdf

You could use an electric linear actuator in place of the stock manual trim control. The manual one has left hand threads on one end and right hand threads on the other end. Turning the middle of it shortens or lengthens it. It would be kind of hazardous to reach down and turn it with your right...

The business of attaching a sidecar to a bike that was never specifically designed for a sidecar is a complex undertaking. I started a sidecar project with the intention of building a sidecar and attaching it to my 2006 Honda VLX600. After figuring out what modifications to the bikes frame...

I found a WJ4 a couple of months ago but the light pods and one of the lenses were broken. He wanted $75. If it was perfect I would have taken it. I offered $25 but he refused to come off his original asking price. I walked away because of the work required to remove the pods and fill in the...
