Before installing it be sure and remove the running and turn signal light pods from the fairing. The glue used to attach the lens to the reflector dries out with age allowing the lenses to fall away with the slightest bump. It makes no difference if the fairing was stored in a climate controlled...
After the Motorcycle accident Mr. Craig Vetter suffered he as as yet to fully recover. His Wife ran the business for a few years but now has no interest in continuing it or updating the Web pages. I really don't think we'll be hearing anything from Mr. Vetter and that's understandable...
I used 3M emblem and trim glue. Both lens were just barely hanging on so they were easy to remove from the reflector. The old glue was dried and easily removed. After a wash with alchaol the glue was applied as per the instructions on the tube and the lenses reattached to the reflectors. They...
The bike is a 2006 Honda VLX VT600CD. That is an Aoogah horn on it. I put it on because people actually pay attention to it because it sounds so different than a standard horn, especially the tiny and weak beep horn that came with the bike. I got it at Harbor Freight.
Steering a motorcycle with...
Having dual disc brakes is not a killer. It depends on the fork width. Just measure the inside distance of the fairing where the forks would go through it and then measure the width of your forks. Same thing with the fuel tank. Just check the width.
Let us know what bike you have as Larry Fine...
That's a Windjammer 4. There was only one more version made which was the Windjammer 5 and it has a HONDA Label prominently displayed over the headlight on the fairing. As Larry Fine says the mounting surfaces and brackets are all the same. The limiting factor is going to be fork width and the...
You may also want to list it on https://sidecar.com/ . You'll need to sign up to post but that will be fine. They are a great group of people just like here. People go there looking for Sidecar's to buy and if it's priced reasonably and in good condition they sell fast.
My Windjammer 4 was cut like that to mount it on a 6 Cylinder Kawasaki Z1300 Touring Bike. It was done under contract by Vetter as requested by Kawasaki and the data plate on my Windjammer has Kawasaki on it instead of Vetter. It was cut like that to clear the gigantic radiator they used on that...
No. I'm in Alabama so it's still a motorcycle despite adding a third wheel. Nothing needed to be inspected or the registration changed or anoted noting the addition of a sidecar to the motorcycle. Alabama has not really kept up with modern changes. Alabama has trailer laws and goes into great...
Was looking at my local Craigslist and found a Velorex 562 sidecar that was pulled out of a barn and posted for sale. I called and confirmed it was still available. I was surprised because he only wanted $350 for it. I made arrangement to see it and possably buy it a couple of days later as he...
I used plan old hose clamps on my frame brackets without any issues for years now. I did cut up an old inner tube and used the rubber to protect the bikes paint. I just wrapped the rubber around the frame tubes, held it in place with black electrical tape, and then clamped the brackets in place.
6 inch Oval Truck LED lights fit once you cut an opening for them. This is a last resort measure but one that works. Just carefully cut the required opening on each side, pop them in, and hook your wiring up. there will be tiny holes around the oval cut out but the rubber light gromet will cover...
What you may want to do is just use a standard 4 pin trailer light connector. They can be found everywhere and because they are standard all manufacturers make them exactly alike no matter the brand name.
It's a 3 pin Molex connector. Over the years Molex changed the connectors slightly to improve them. I don't think you'll find an exact match for it so you could reuse it. It's the same connector that was used on Vetter trunks that were clipped into the aluminum data plate. They are also used...
One thing you need to do is remove the light pods that contain the turn signal and clearance bulbs and check the glue between the reflector and lens. They just have a couple of screws holding them in and slide right out. The glue eventually drys out after so many decades allowing the lens to...
