Hi all new member. Got #62 Terraplane. Picked it up around thanksgiving last year. Got it to hook up to my sportster so my son can ride with me. The only thing that I don’t have is the trim grip. Is there anyone that makes aftermarket ones I haven’t been able to find a whole lot about them.

Morning from Philly. Good luck finding an OEM turnbuckle. You’ll also need bike side brackets and two lower pylons. That TP has been converted to 4/5 struts for a fixed rig. Keep that configuration and you won’t need to buckle.

Have you ridden a sidecar before? It’s not a motorcycle anymore.

Not sure about the serial number plate. Definitely not from Vetter. S/N plate was with electrical plug by the upper mount.

Manuals are floating around the web. Not many of these left on the road. Under 900 built in the few years of production.

This is my second one. Had identical rig new from dealer in ‘82.
And still haven’t seen another one in person.

If you’re looking to retrofit adjustable 3 point mount a good weld shop can easily fab a set of brackets and mounts.

Let me know if you have any questions. There’s plenty of helpful hackers on here.
