Thank`s very much for the kind words on the sidecar combo.

The original bike price is a tad expensive but I do think worth it,as they are indeed well put together.

Though who know`s 21st may spoil us one day with their own & maybe cheaper??? or at least with figures & accs for a similar price?

That looks STOCK...all of it... I'm scramblin' to tell. I didn't see a mention about the paint job so I'll automatically assume you did it! Flawless.

R!

what did you use to trim the fender down and do the cut out in the side car?

I just bought a red one off of that seller. I can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for letting us know about this!

Rob,
I gave the Sidecar combo it`s Lick of paint mate

Sorry i didn`t point that out

Glad you like the Bike

First off I`d dremel the guide lines & then I`d use a Scalpel for the cutting.
The windshield was carefully sanded off using the dremel (Be very carefull there who try this).

Hope this helps. BTW the seat I replaced the original with. That`s from a 1/18th Landrover rear seats. I`ve a few so IF anyone wants to follow my path & try that LMK with a Pm & I can hook you up

Again Glad you all like the customed version

SB,
That is a mighty fine interpetation of a WWII German bike with sidecar!
I have been looking for a setup like this for sometime too!
Glad you shared it with us and posted some more pics in the Custom section.
I guess I am going to have to give this a try and abandon my effort to make a scratch sidecar for my 1:18 Maisto Harley as it didn't look exactly right anyway!
German rider looks very good too!

Nice work!

Thank`s very much guys

I know I`ve said it before though I do mean it,great to hear it`s hit the mark with you all

I also was initially building 2 from scratch reworking harleys though when I saw these I saw the potential immediately

I do hope those interested do get some & try thier hand at the conversion as it`s not that hard,just carefull work really

Andreas models of spain makes one in 1:18 scale. its a metal model. You can buy at squadron.com. When you get on the site do a search for 1:18 scale or 90mm and it will pull it up. However it is very expensive. It is about $189.00 & hard as He_L to put together.

For those of you that don't frequent the customs and mods area, the possibilities for this bike / sidecar combo are numerous. Mr. Bonnet gave me the bike bug so bad that I ordered three and am about finished with the first one.
