    Excess Engine Heat

    I was considering some type of sheet metal deflector but where to deflect it is the question. As soon as I find out how to install a quick disconnect for the brake line to the side car I will ride it solo and see if I still have the issue. Love the bike, hate the heat. Or just sell the whole...

    Excess Engine Heat

    Do you mean turn down the temp of the Sun? Can't find the thermostat.

    Excess Engine Heat

    I left Northern Idaho for the same reasons. And being retired I can always visit the snow for a day or two before returning to the warm Arizona sun. However my problem of heat to the left side is still unresolved. Most of the threads deal with heat on the right side which doesn't seem to be...

    Come December ask yourself if living in New York is a good choice.

    Excess Engine Heat

    I have a 2013 R3 Touring and have excessive heat coming off the engine on the Left side. It's as if the radiator is directing the heat over the engine and out that side. Any suggestions on how to redirect this heat as it is hitting the underside of my thigh to the point of causing a blister or...

    Excessive engine heat

    Anyone have a suggestion to block or redirect excessive engine heat on the left side? The right side doesn't seem to be a problem.

    Are you still considering something like the one in Goodyear? It will be coming available due to health reasons.

    This is my first side car. The wife liked it so much I bought it without driving it. I would not have bought it if I had driven it. I guess it will just take time getting used to how it handles. But that said it has been fun figuring out all the systems and re doing a lot on the bike. The...

    Thanks for the info. I just found the paperwork and it is a VW steering damper. I will check the alignment tomorrow. As far as I know the front end is stock. The turn signal lenses are factory. Any suggestions on a tach?

    The first question is how do I locate the wire for the turn signals? The PO disconnected the right signal and instead uses the side car turn signal. I want to restore the factory one. Here are two photos of the side car. I was wondering if the steering stabilizer is in the right position and...

    New Dark side w/side-car

    I just bought a Rocket Touring with a Champion side car for the wife. Also on the dark side with a rear wheel tire in front. Hate the ride and hard to control over bumps. The prior owner attached a stablizer from the front forks to the side car. Not sure if that is the problem.

    I just picked up a 2013 Touring with a matching Champion side car. Lots of extras added by the prior owner so I am busy removing most of them. Anyone familiar with side car installation I have questions. My first Triumph.
