Sidecar on the T120

[Jedz123]

Couldn't tell you. I don't worry about stuff like that.

No worries! I was only curious as what range I could expect.

It landed my dudes!

But it's on the wrong side of the bike.

I won't be installing in my shop since I only have a 36" wide door that goes in or out of the shop. However I will be doing the overhaul in the shop and assembling out in my shed that has a car door on it.

It's version built for the Australian market, a guy really should read the fine print when he finds a good deal on line!

[Grimly]

Makes me want to go out and find an old drop-tank.

[Jedz123]

And the dog loves it... That's all that matters.

All the Hardware came with it seems to be intact. The sidecar is designed to be bolted to the right side of the bike... As you cant tells by the frame of the tub. Once I go through the tub I'll bring it out to my outdoor shed and start crafting it to the Bonneville. I'll do as much work as I can in my shop as it's definitely mid winter out there. I still have to get the Bonneville to double dark side standards.

Very happy with this tub! It's going to be perfect for us.

Oh to add to extra class I will be installing a Vetter Windjammer SS to the T120... That should throw allot of people for a loop! What years is that thing???

Cheers!

She is a curious beastie for sure. Look how she investigates every inch of that hack.

[Guest]

Start getting her used to the doggles now.

I did not like the idea of relearning how to ride with a sidecar so I made this, tis not perfect but did make a 1600 mile trip with passenger. a few adjustments were required afterwards.

So The side car is in much better shape now.

• New tire mounted and balanced.
• New Valve stem installed
• Paint job applied
• Bearings checked, cleaned and repacked
• Suspension checked (good)
• Pup approved

Next steps are adding auxiliary batteries for additional weight and remote electricity for those off the grid camping trips.
I'll also have to craft a divider as I won't be keeping the seat in the tub, I'll also build a bed for Zola. I reached out to Watsonian about getting a roof made or sourced... still nothing back.
I will also be upgrading the directional lights and adding auxiliary fog lamps.

After the tub is set I'll start working on the Tug. Mainly I have to figure the mounting in the shop, mock mount the rig then disconnect and reassemble in my shed out back... We just got smoked by a snow storm so that could be in a few weeks for final assemble however I can work on the bike in the shop...

Been a fun project, honestly I can't wait for Spring...

The Jedzmoto videos are going to be EPIC !
Nothing like NEW content to drive traffic

What do you really need power for at camp? I'm using my phone, a bluetooth speaker and a rechargeable LED flashlight, all of which plug into a 5V outlet in my cigarette lighter style outlet. That outlet also powers my little air compressor and air mattress inflator.

As to a cover, my bet is you'll do better going to a place that makes canvass tops for boats, especially during the slow season. My best bet is you'll need to add some snaps or other hardware either way if they aren't already in place from the factory.

You'd be surprised how well a set of airhorns and a semi-automatic carbine can drive traffic!

I meant internet traffic to his You Tube channel ---

[Jedz123]

Haha well Dude I really need the weight for the geometry for my hack... (Now I get why they call them hacks)

Anyway, what weighs allot and is convenient to bring? A lead AGM battery from a car. Also Jethro has this rig setup for his sled I'm stupid jealous of... He has electrics or days. As is he can watch TV and run lights in the middle of a frozen lake for a very long weekend. I like that idea of sustainable "comfort" living off the grid.

[Jedz123]

Lab, your the man. I didn't even think of reaching out to a boat upholsterer... That might save me allot if "by chance" Watsonian has NOS top for my rig!

Best,
