Many places, no problem. <br /><br />Yes, there was fog that morning and it was 42°F. Starting to feel a little like Autumn.

It has never been a problem and if I really want to lock things up, I could just wear my old helmet which fits into the side case.<br /><br />I still enjoy playing around with electrical. I have it all done with the resisters on an aluminum plate just behind the right front turn signal. There is room on the plate for additional indicator lights or switches. It doesn't look too bad but the BMW purist would have a heart attack....<br /><br />The vendor markets the Photon Blaster as "conspicuity lights". I don't know whether or not it is a real word but I think the flickering in your peripheral vision really does stand out. The turn signals are aimed at about 45° from the front so they are visible to the sides as well.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-80414828375870626922013-08-16T08:04:57.690-08:002013-08-16T08:04:57.690-08:00The shape of the foot compartment opening is more ...The shape of the foot compartment opening is more round than rectangular so it would be challenging to put any sort of rigid door.

I was thinking of putting an eyebolt in the floor of the sidecar to attach a cable lock to. Another thought would be to replace the old top box with a taller one that would fit my helmet. The rest of the gear fits easily into the side cases.

You could have one fabricated and a locking mechanism added and you would have to mount a latching mechanism to anchor it to the inner top part of the side car when you have a passenger.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-69010112278645677602013-08-15T18:17:42.921-08:002013-08-15T18:17:42.921-08:00I too have worried about stuff being secure in the...I too have worried about stuff being secure in the sidecar when out shopping and such. Have spent countless hours thinking on how to secure stuff....have gotten more relaxed about it since Alaska. Of course, the valuable stuff I can lock in the trunk, perhaps fashion a lock on yor sidecar? You can also run a chain/cable thru sleeve of jacket and pant leg and lock it to the sidecar along with the helmet. It can be a PITA though, just remember: locks are there only to keep honest people honest, crooks will always be able to defeat locks.redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.com
