The side by side is what I remember on my old one, but that just won't work with my floorboards. Pretty sure my memory's not that bad and I did have floorboards on my old rig. Must have stopped thinking about over the winter long enough to look at it differently today. Realized TP brake arm...

I don't have the exact style number, but it's a Spyder aftermarket rack from Show Chrome. Google search brings up lots of options. I almost went the route of expensive MG style rack with rotating mounts, but this one sits much taller on the rear legs and little angle pieces brought the mount...

Can I ask for pictures of brake pedals on Terraplane set ups? I had the Vetter (go-cart) brake system on my first car back in the 80's and remember plenty of room for my feet on floorboards. As well as touching either or both of the pedals. I can't for the life of me figure out what's...

I just noticed the car battery. Are you using it instead of bike battery? How does alternator/stator handle the big battery?

Like your dual level luggage rack. Pardon the pun, I hacked this rack on mine last year. And removed all the seat pieces for Auto my stray rescue.

I've had very good success with this ABS glue and fiberglass mesh (drywall style). Repair patch on inside of fairing. Had the original crack visible from outside with many years of riding after the repair and no further cracking. The lighter has a screw-on cap nut on the inside. Ground wire...

Pull the speakers out first to find the nuts inside. Couple of steel "L" bracket in the corners attached thru windshield bolts. Been a few years (decades) since riding with an SS, but do remember fixing a couple of stress cracks. Probably from the weight bouncing or maybe my insistent...

Great looking rig. Have my eye on a leading link near me. What's the additional bar and mechanism across the back end of TP? I had my original '78 with custom adjustable Califia trunk. Two up the trunk was almost entirely past the rear wheel. For single riding I made a small platform off...

https://dayton.craigslist.org/mcy/d/eaton-2001-yamaha-roadstar/7404680371.html Found this on Craiglist this morning. Definitely a rebuild Terraplane frame. Nice powder coat paint job.

That's the way I got my Terraplane last summer. Never even started the bike. Gone in a few weeks. Would only want the bike for the LL. But first want to ask does your hack already have a link? Why wouldn't you swap out? I've never ridden with a link but it sounds like a great improvement...

Evening, David Getting a chance to go thru the sidehack/Vetter/GL sites for the first time in a while. I currently have an 8 year old 83 Interstate with TP installed last fall. Had a 78 GL1000 and 82 GL1100A with TP. All three brand new back in the day. Never really looked between the two...

Has anyone considered or attempted to use the bike front brake master cylinder into the car brake instead of the single front wheel rotor? My first rig had the double pedal set up and bike had floorboards. Don't remember any problems with getting everything in place. I'm running my new hack...

Thanks, turbodog and Scott-E I got my new damper over the week end. Old one was definitely blown out and went in the trash. Air moves through the orifice alot easier than oil. I can barely move the shaft of the new one bare handed, but once installed only noticed a slight extra effort to...

Anyone have or know where to get sidecar front suspension for ’83 GL1100

I see one every month. Friend has IV on bought new ’78 CX500. Will try to get a picture.

This number is on all three of my brackets.

Afternoon, anyone have pictures of GL1100 and Terraplane with steering damper? Need a little help to get VW damper mounted. Previous owner included a box of extras. VW damper question. Never had one in my hand before. I can slowly move the rod without restriction, which I think would be...

Evening, That rig looks great. Built a one wheel trailer in the early 80's for my 78 Wing. Great for tracking not hitting pot holes, but added weight at slow speeds made the lean a bit heavy.. Why I'm rambling on, do you know where I can find a hammer nut? Like on you trailer axles. Just...

Evering, Vetters Just finished installing my second TP. First one was in the 80's with an 82 Aspendcade. This one is mounted to my 83 Interstate. Bought it 7 years ago from original owner without even starting it. Needed a new starter. Ten minute fix and haven't looked back. Been thinking...

Just finished mounting s/n 498 to my 83 GL1100 Interstate. Hack is in great shape, but brakes are a bit gone. I actually poured dust out of master cylinder. With Airheart no longer supporting the smaller systems. I resorted to buying new MCP Brake Systems 18875 Brake Master Cylinder, 7/8...
