As stout as the TP was built this connection does seem to be weakest mount. During installation had to slightly bend these to get right alignment. Was careful to only bend the strap and not stress the weld. Mounted on ‘83 Interstate no issues after 5,000 miles.

Evening, TP rigs Has anyone categorized the current and known Vetter cars? With under 1,000 TPs built how hard could this be. He said looking down a rabbit hole. I thought I would first search web for pics and paste into spreadsheet with notes on where pic is from and other info I can...

You probably figured out by now. Coffin lid straps attach under the body around the smaller upper frame tube. I believe the brake was standard but I took mine off on current rig. After rebuilding brake system when I acquired TP 4 years ago (poured dust out of master) I found applying brake...

Morning, Can you show us some pictures? What set of hardware was used for mounting? Serial number? Why separate? I paid $1750 for mine with a naked ‘82 Wing. Sold the non running bike for $500. That was 4 years ago. Look at past listings on eBay for other TP hacks and prices. More around...

Welcome from SE Pennsylvania. Not entirely up to date on serial numbers. Your #930 and Mike324’s #920 are close to the last TPs built. Let’s see pics. When I got this car, I actually poured dust out of calipers. Took a year to get around finding replacement parts, but took system off after...

Morning, Lost my chance at leading link last fall. Still searching for alternatives. Seems that fork extensions will be easiest and cheapest route. Have been told by supplier that Harley 39mm extensions although same tube diameter as GL they are made for HD. Can someone confirm they are...

Howdy, from PA with VTP #498 Does anyone have a leading link on or off a bike for sale? I have '83 GL1100. Double post. Also in Terraplane forum. Regards, Rick J.

I bought a chrome nut cover through an 18 wheeler catalog. Doesn't cover the whole wheel flange, but looks nice enough covering the lug nut.

I thought metering would be a problem. I envisioned either by restriction valve or pot size change. After riding my rig without a brake for almost two years, quick stop muscle memory still has me on just the rear pedal and hand lever. Right now I'm all over the road in three brake stops...

Not too many talkers here. But just realized it had been couple of years when I was thinking about linking front brake to car. How did your brake mod turn out?

Three runs to hardware store and success. Thanks Amazon for master cylinder overnight delivery. Repurposed an unknown bracket. Could have been from a heal/toe shifter mount. Moved all components to outside of brackets under car frame. I cleaned up and reused the original TP Airheart disc...

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...
