Topic: Sidecar

[70CB750]

I invested in some tools and made light holder for the sidecar.

Prokop,Does the sidecar light(The one you brought back here after your trip)assembly have a '3-way function'  arrangement? I mean,does it act as a taillight,stop/brake light(1157 bulb?)and also have a separate bulb at the amber part of the lens at the bottom to show a blinking(amber)turn signal ??

??

Sorry, I missed that.  Yes, the triangle of the light is the turn signal and the red part covers double filament bulb for tail light and brake light.  Also I bought from Velorex USA - thats a Florida company that sells sidecars and parts.

You purchased that taillight assembly from Velorex USA ?

Yes, sir.  It was a shell, no bulbs or wires but I like the all-in-one solution.  70 bucks or so.

Did you install your own two separate light bulb sockets with wires ?

Sockets were included, just the wiring was needed.

Got new Hagon shocks. The difference is amazing.  I did not expect to feel anything, with the hack and all but she is so much smoother.   Set it to hardest, changed to middle after half a mile and loving it.

Also removed the carrier with the top case - did grcamna2 suggested that?  The rig as a whole looks better without it.

I like Hagons also.
I have never liked the Top Cases,but rather I like side bags to keep the weight low and have less aerodynamic drag.

Turns out taking the top case off was a stupid idea.  The top case is waterproof and the sidecar is not.  My tool bag is moldy and tools rusty.  I will have to figure out some kind of a better solution.

A waterproof case for the tools could be strapped down in foitwell of side car to keep your tools dry and rustfree. Strapping it down could slow any potential theft.
Mold can be killed and after stripping any oils a bath in Evaporust or Oxalic Acid in the sun can remove the rust. Oxalic Acid is wood bleach, mix a pound per gallon of distilled water...use until it is pitch black and no longer removing rust. It chelates rust  away like Evaporust type products....it is slow. Once rust free rinse and dry then oily rag to wipe down all the surfaces of the tools before putting them in a waterproof box.
