    Spoked wheel on a Terraplane

    Yes, I will post lots of pics and detail. I just talked to my painter tonight. He got sidetracked for a few weeks with a new baby and a sick friend. He'll be back on it tomorrow. As far as a replacement shock, I'm think I'm going to use an air shock so that I can make adjustments. I cannot wait...

    Spoked wheel on a Terraplane

    Sorry for the delay in responding. Been super busy re roofing my house, garage and shed. My Terraplane has a chromed bumper lights mounted across the top. It's being re chromed. I love the mounts from DMC. I'm glad that I spent the extra money on them. They came powder coated black, which...

    Spoked wheel on a Terraplane

    Thank you for all the detailed info. I can just bet that you're a skilled craftsman! I think it'd be really neat to be able to make just about anything I wanted. I'm an electrician by trade but I enjoy tinkering in my garage. I think I'm going to run my original wheel for a while just so I can...

    Spoked wheel on a Terraplane

    I'm attaching my Terraplane to my 02' Road King and I'm really wanting to have matching wheels. My bike has spoked wheels and I'm having a hard time finding a spoked wheel to fit my sidecar. Has anyone here ever done what I'm trying to do or have any suggestions? I definitely want the braking...

    Vetter Terraplane

    Very nice pics! I'm attaching my Vetter to a 2002 HD Road King Classic. I have a new hurdle to jump. I thought I could use a front wheel from a Harley on my sidecar so all my wheels would match....WRONG! The Vetter wheel is 4 1/8 "wide and the front wheel from a Harley is 6 3/4". The axle on the...

    Vetter Terraplane

    I finally ordered the bike mounts and Terraplane mounts from DMC last week. They said it'd be 3 to 4 weeks wait time because they had to be made first. I paid $1500 for the side car, just paid $1500 for the mounts and will probably be another $1000 for a paint job and a matching wheel. After all...

    Vetter Terraplane

    Thank you for the info. What do you think about purchasing just the Bike mounts from DMC and then building from there? They're $800, which more than I want to spend but if it makes this project easier and in the end I have a safe and reliable rig, I'll bite the bullet.

    Vetter Terraplane

    Bruce, I looked at your pics and I have to say that I'm very impressed! I can recognize talent when I see it. I don't have the tools or the know how to do what you did but I have a buddy who does.

    Vetter Terraplane

    I appreciate your willingness to help me. I wish I lived closer to where you are, I'm in Kokomo, Indiana. I looked at some pics on the KZ1300.com and I'm beginning to understand what needs to be done. I'm confident that with your pics and coaching, this may be less painful than I thought. I have...

    Vetter Terraplane

    Thank you so much for all the detailed information. I've been stressing so much over what to do. There's a place in California that sells a 4 point system for a Harley to Terriplane hook up but for $1500. I hate spending that much money but how do you put a price on safety, especially when it...

    Vetter Terraplane

    I have a 2002 HD Road King Classic and a Vetter Terraplane side car. I really want to put the two together! Can it safely be done? I like how durable and safe the side car is. It would be great for my son and grandson to ride in while me and my wife are on the bike. I have all the mounting...
