    The R18 sidecar thread

    and another very nice youtube imo The boys lack a technical knowledge but they do share the experience and essence of sidecar quite well. Yes I am in a bit of a weird lull. Previous ex still has no internet and to not be tied to that have given her the key of my place so she can use the wifi...

    The R18 sidecar thread

    As a spin off from hobby/pashion, would buy (seriously) the following rig, It is a UK road registered one. The missing link is a dedicated monkey. My veryvéry good Belgian female friend observed that I best fish for a woman in her forties, maybe better thirties with the caveat that she would...

    There is another bodge you could contemplate: Drill the heads of the screws. Lift the badge off. Cut the heads off of replacement screws. Stick the new badge on, glue the screws head in.

    That is a @#½@ When the rivnut is loose, that is it really. In your case it is not a functional issue do ask yourself how much hassle it is worth, There is a véry small chance you can sort it. With the screws properly heated, the locking fluid should be powder. As such the screws should loosen...

    Need Help R18 TC - weird resonance from engine guard / leg protection at 2700-2900 RPM - anyone else?

    I get that a rubber silent block will most likely sort the vibration issue. Is also a :cool: one for the guard threads ;)🫣

    Aftermarket indicator and brake lights.

    the US/Canadian models should be the same. Several here have added sidecar lighting with HEX ezCan which in effect is adding a third brake light etc. No difference between US and EU version at all. Without a module of sorts is not going to work period. Why not? CAN bus! Same everything with...

    the screws are, like every fastener, 'secured' with locking fluid. Try an old style soldering iron to heat the screws.

    Ride height on base model

    Good catch that as the speed sensor picks it up from there too. Ditto traction control. Ergo do not mess with the tyre circumferance. Just change the hero blobs and if that is not enough buy a different bike.

    Ride height on base model

    was not thinking about that. Gearing is quite high already on the base R18 never mind the more loaded ones.

    The R18 sidecar thread

    btw went out for a ride with a friend yesterday morning. He on a 125 Vespa automatic. Me with the rig. Netto 2,5 hours of local back roads between mountain villages. Beejeezus what a work out. Especially down hill. The camber of the roads is determained by the hill side so left and right is as...

    The R18 sidecar thread

    Very, véry well built that one. I French builder if I remember correctly. Cosmetically well done as well; tasteful. Lóve the Steib LS200 look chair. The look though is not spot on with mý taste but then that is irrelevant to the rest of the world :p 👌

    Crash bars

    wow!! found a classic R45 all original, paint and all, and even without the vanity bars... It has the optional second disc up front and is on 'historical' plates. Seems quite a good buy. I have the slush fund a few times over and ample space in the man cave. May make an offer :rolleyes: But...

    My 10cts
