Statement of fact, and philosophy of life...

The accent color pattern is pretty much an exact match to mine (before I repainted). Not conclusive, but tends to support the notion that it is the original finish.

Enjoying the cooler weather!

Minor update: Taming the tendency to headshake took a little bit of effort. The front forks were just too limp for sidecar duty. The excessive sag was also causing the relocated front header pipe to hit on speed bumps. So I upgraded using some springs I found on Amazon (!). I was able to...

I'm sure there is a way to retain the brake, but it might involve some fabrication. Also, the hub I linked is much heavier-duty than you need, but the wheel I found had 5 x 5 bolt pattern. If you widen your wheel search, you will find some 4 bolt hardware that is better suited for the light...

Well, I completely redesigned the sidecar mount subframe, incorporating the front cyl exhaust into the main subframe tube. Assembly is like a Rubiks cube, but works well once together. In addition, my wife passed the MSF basic course, and soloed on public roads for the 1st time.

I cannot tell for sure, but those look like a very common alloy trailer wheel. Check out ebay items 361953874759 and 151481996573. Add your bearings (or new replacements) and you should be good to go. You would lose the brake, of course.

"Dog operating camera" HAH! I thought the same thing when reviewing the pics. Or, "where is that kid of mine? This is why we HAD her"! The results are everything I'd hoped for. Steering as light as the raked trees, but everything is stiffer. Tracks straight. The brakes just work. With the...

Well, the big day arrived... I loaded up my wife and dog and took them for an inaugural ride.... to the dog park, of course! Both settled in quickly and enjoyed the ride. Many more adventures to come!

Thanks. The windshield was clouded and crazed, so I cut it down about 4 inches (Texas in the summer, y'know...) and painted it. I plan to get a new replacement for cold weather. The brake uses a Virago 12 inch rotor and single-piston caliper from my 83 tug, and a CBR600 rear brake master. It...

Well, she's inspected, registered and tagged. First few rides highlighted items needing some sorting out. The bike brakes are underwhelming with the added weight. The chair brake is much stronger. Takes a light touch to avoid veering to the right. It steers straight and effortlessly on smooth...

Scott-E is correct. The left pedal is the factory bike rear, mechanically-actuated drum. The right is for the chair. The chair master cyl was set up so the pedal axle would lie up exactly with the factory bike 'axle'. A pin-in-hole setup where they meet acts as a bearing and allows for some...

Lots of stuff done, probably more than I can remember, but here's a list off the top of my head: Tug: chair subframe adapted 920R bodywork (including Europe-only TR1 seat and tail) and footpeg brackets, Kaw ZG1000 rear fender front header relocated to left side left-only muffler to keep sound...

It is one of the items on this page. It's been over a year since I ordered mine, so will have to get to my home computer before I can be sure which. Or, you should be able to measure yours and match up to one of these. http://tacomarine.com/category/cat_flexible_vinyl_trim/Flex-Trim [EDIT]...

The outer lenses are cut down from Yukon parts, The turn signal LEDS are simliar to: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361233195089 and the DRL/High Beam (Not DOT approved for headlight) is similar to: http://www.amazon.com/RioRand%C2%AE-Light-Lumen-Degree-Waterproof/dp/B00AZPI0NE I am slaving the...

Working on fiberglassed-in lights. Starting to prep for paint:

I agree the work looks to be top-shelf. Guess I have to adjust my expectations.

AND, another $400 for a tonneau cover! That totals more than I paid for the sidecar. Gonna have to learn how to sew, I guess.

Hi, folks. I have a Terraplane, currently undergoing restoration. Tom, do you mind saying what the seat recovering cost? I was just quoted $400 - $500 %(
