    The R18 sidecar thread

    The rig is local to where I am staying so have reached out and asked if I can come and check it out. If I get the chance will take more photos of the mountings for you if he agrees. Anything specific you would like to see?

    Do you store your R18 on a Trickle Charger

    Emblem for Left Side Cover

    Thanks. Was playing around making some small keychain gifts out of 1.3mm bicolor plastic and tried the red on black. Will try it on the bike over the coming days when a bit warmer. with wind chill -7 centigrade at the moment. And have to mess about to get to the left side of the bike to try...
