Hello Mouka ad welcome from Virginia. Great looking bike!

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I did have a chance to ride my rig and everything is fine. Sidecars change the way bikes behave. It definitely makes riding such a large bike challenging. However, it also makes it a lot of fun. Tons of people did give me the thumbs up. Some even came to me and started asking all kinds of questions.
I don't see myself riding anything else in the near future. The left turns are definitely a challenge. Keeping the rig going straight is also not easy at low speeds. Other than that, everything is pretty simple and fun.

That is debatable!

Another belated welcome from downunder. I'm green with envy especially at that price - well done. Great to see another joining the mystical cult of the sidecar. Just wait till you learn to 'fly' the chair. It wont be long until you start checking out 'earles fork' type front ends.

I will do that tomorrow and upload a video.
If I were to venture a guess, the sound is normal and I am worrying about nothing.
By the way, the engine sounds absolutely fine at idle and at first or even second gear. It's at some specific point that I feel a noise more than I hear it when the rpms are between 2000 and 2500. I will try riding it tomorrow and upload the video and sound to youtube and provide you with more details about what I am talking about.

where is oil gauge hooked up to

I know the previous owner and he has told me that there was absolutely no hidden defects or issues with this rig whatsoever. In fact he showed me the maintenance records done to it by a local motorcycles dealer. He has even suggested that we take it to the dealer and have it checked there. I declined because I trust the guy.
Now as far as that weird noise, it could be something normal as the pistons underneath this thing are massive. At low speeds the noise could simply be the normal engine doing its normal business.
What HD tail light are we talking about?
The only HD item on this rig is an oil pressure gauge the previous owner put in there. I personally do not know what its use is, but it looks cool.

where is oil Gauge hooked to ???
