it was a pretty substantial project, as you might expect. the two key things that made it happen were the sidecar vendor (Motorvation) and the guy who fabricated the subframe and sidecar mounts. Motorvation was great to work with, and worked with me to deliver the custom paint job to match the bike; all i had to do was add the pinstripes. i ordered the sidecar, took deliver here in seattle, and then hauled it and the bike in a trailer to Side-Effects in Kamloops, BC. The owner, Pete Smith, then built the subframe for the bike, modified the front suspension for easier steering, and put the whole thing together. i rode it back to seattle, and did the finish work, pinstriping, matching tail-light, and miscellaneous wiring cleanup and addition of the brooklands windscreen.

best of luck on your project!

Your BMW 1200C motorcycle is a must have. I’d sure like to make one with a side car like yours. Do you have details on how you made it all come together?

That cylinder is‑a gonna be interesting. If I wasn’t contemplating stuffing my life into a very small space and shipping it off before riding season after next, I would be awaiting the end of this project with ‘bated breath; it’s very much a classy-looking gentleman’s (or ladies’) commuter bike, and whoever ends up with it is going to be very pleased…

The kind who have bots that cruise Craigslist for interesting motorcycles for sale. And then post the best ones to mailing lists with a plaintive “Who’s going to buy this one?” appended. Yeah, those guys. So on a not so sunny Sunday we went off to look at a Honda 305 Dream.”

Ummm … yeah. Sorry about that. 🙂

I have a small set official looking business cards with my employer’s logo that have my title changed to “Bad Influence”. I’m glad I could be of service.

That stator looks unfortunate. The rest, so far, appears salvageable.

]]> Comment on About Us by Daniel Vincent http://blackdogandmagpie.net/#comment-2 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 21:22:46 +0000 http://blackdogandmagpie.net/?page_id=2#comment-2 Found your website when I was searching for anyone that may have installed a 2 din stereo into an SLK. I was curious, did you have any issues with sound after the install? Now was the Alpine unit strong enough to push the speakers/bass? Did you opt to install a amp?

I’m looking to put a Pioneer AVIC z130BT into my 2006 SLK. The shops I talked to wanted to rewire the entire car b/c they say optic was used and in order to put the unit in this is their only option. Obviously I didn’t buy the sell job…which has led me to figure out how to do this myself.

Any other info that you could think of which wasn’t on your step by step would be greatly appreciated.
