Fitting a sidecar light

[Kenny]

My outfit runs off the bike battery only.

Do you really need a sidecar n/s light? Mine is a summer toy.

If I fitted one, I'm assuming LED is the way to go to save power.

Isn't that a n/s light (integrated with the indicator) on the chair mudguard?

BTW, I wouldn't fit anything else to it. It looks ace as it is.

Top man....I'll have a re-think on this !

Yes, you do.

It's within this link. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/mot-ins...s/4-lamps-reflectors-and-electrical-equipment

And this one. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/7/made

Don't confuse the sometimes reference to "indicator" or position indicator with direction indicators (winkers/flashers, etc).

That’s a lovely outfit, Kenny. I have a Ural chair on my R80/7. Did you ever sell that hedingham XL you had? I need something more child friendly than my open top Ural

I did Mark, it was a tad to serious for what I wanted. This Charnwood Meteor outfit is fully legal this Saturday !! Smaller screen now fitted. Brakes serviced and all liquids changed...and a lot of TLC. Cannot get the stains out of the wheels though !!

Brilliant, a lot of fun to be had on three wheels! Are they cast wheels? A bit of rub n buff would hide the stains!

 

[Kenny]

Sadly, tubed traditional wheels....here's a couple of photo's from seller...front end now sports all s/s and new pads etc etc
