Good news! You mention giving the tank a flush out. Did you fit an inline fuel filter

Welcome to the forum bud

I agree with the above. I believe sidecars remove all the advantages of biking with none of the advantages of a car. I have never ridden a bike with a sidecar tho' so could be talking sh!t Like Cynic and Drewpy I have had my kids on the bike since they were big enough to reach the footpegs and they loved it...Only one ot them went on to their own bike and my daughter is 'too cool' for bikes now she has her own car

I'm just back from Portsoy. I arrived just as lockdown kicked in. Great weather and great company. Only downer was I wasn't on a bike. The old military Rd is open at the rest. Usual shit weather causing the hillside to collapse

My boy ran an SR for a couple of years. It was over 20 yrs old when he got it. Bullet proof wee engine with absolutely no mechanical issues. The ECU, now that was a different matter, he went through 3 of those (although we were replacing 20 odd year old part with other parts the same age....) If you keep breaking valves I would suggest that is something you or a PO have done to set the timing way out Welcome to the forum btw, and a great user name

Hi Mick, welcome to the forum Have you spoken with NABD. My mate had a serious accident about 20yrs ago, losing both a leg, and an arm. They helped him set up a sidecar with adaptations

Welcome to the forum matey. Nice bikes. I was looking on eBay recently and they are few and far between. Plenty of maxims but none of your model (that I saw anyway)

I can't help with mechanics down your way, but have a look on the bay or breakers yards to price a replacement engine. If you can't fit it, factor the cost to have it changed. Does that match any discount from the dealer? Sometimes it's better to walk away

Clean the tank as well if that has been lying I assume there will be rust inside. I've used a length of light chain, but others use nuts and bolts or small stones. Fit an inline fuel filter as well

Is that not a zed1..........Sorry, I'll get my coat

Not just ebay. I was looking for a 25ml bottle of touch up paint from a well known supplier. £7.50....Not bad thinks I, but another £7.50 pnp

My mate drinks battery acid, I told him he'll need to watch he doesn't get charged My other mate eats black wire. I asked if he is depressed, he said no he feels really positive after eating. I asked if it is a recent habit, he said no he'd been doing it for ions

As above, and I would still spray carb cleaner or similar around all the hoses and connections just to positively rule out any leaks

Welcome to the forum bud. Tons of advice on here. Some great some not so, but we all try

Banjos will be standard and you can get braided lines made up to suit. Search Google for the various suppliers If you go on the Goodrich site you can buy kit to make your own.
