Thanks to both of you. This Wixom comes darn close save for the windshield has 6 mounting screws whereas mine has 5.

Does anyone recognize this fairing? If so, what do the top attachments look like and where do they attach? I have the bottoms and know where they go.

Thanks Kurt. The Felber does come close but the trunk lid is off, at least when looking at images available on the internet. I've also researched the Globe and Cozy brands from India. Both companies had an association with Steib before they [initially] closed up shop in the late 50s. So, many of the...

Can anyone help ID this sidecar? I've done an exhaustive search and came up with 'close but no cigar'. It has no badge, stamp or tags of any kind. It came over from Germany about 30 odd years ago mated to a '51 R67. The 'cabine' is made by Richter. The cradle looks to be very similar to the TR 500 S...

This time I queried a good friend from Langely, British Columbia who operates a motorcycle repair shop specializing in BMWs. Like many contributors to this forum, he's forgotten more than mo...

I've used Dowsil 732 with success on glass and 'eyebrows' on the instrument cluster. Stays flexible so not permanent.

Thanks. Timing was correct and it failed to blow a fuse when the harness was bypassed and when plugs were removed. So, I decided to go back to a poor or bad ground. My good friend and fellow Canadian biker Brett suggested that I replace the ground from the battery to the transmission. After much sea...

I've sourced 10A fuses and will use those for now. This bike was originally without fuses.

So, what else should I check? I'm at a loss.

As an update I have checked the ground wires (coil and transmission) and cleaned up same with emery cloth. None were overly corroded. I also used emery cloth on the starter solenoid connection and each spade connector on the starter relay. Same issue when I tried to start it.
