3.9 Fender
The sidecar fender is a formed steel assembly, with a wiring trough on the inside to
protect electrical wiring. Light assemblies bolt to the fender at the front and rear.
Light bulbs can be changed by removing the plastic lenses. Bulbs are standard
automotive.
In the event changing a light bulb does not cure a non-functioning light, check the
electrical connection plug to the motorcycle, then the wire connection at the back of the
light assembly. It is necessary to remove the light bracket from the fender to access the
wire connections.
CAUTION: When removing a light assembly, cover the fender to prevent
accidental scratching of the paint by the sharp edges of the light bracket.
NOTE: When reinstalling a light assembly, ensure that the ground connections are
clean and lubricated to help prevent corrosion. Petroleum jelly can be used on electrical
contacts to control rust.
3.10 Upholstery
The sidecar seat components are a plywood base covered by springs, cotton batting,
and a vinyl-type fabric that is folded over and secured to the base. The seat and back
are removable.
When installing the seat, place the seat back in position first, holding it up in position so
that the metal straps on the back are behind the bulkhead. The OEM floor mat is heavy
ribbed rubber. When replacing the seat cushion, ensure that the hole in the rubber is
positioned over the hole where the seat tab enters the body. With the rear of the seat
held up, insert the seat tab through the floor mat and the hole in the floor. Then push
the rear of the seat cushion down until it slides underneath the bottom of the seat back.
CAUTION: When handling seat cushion or seat back, take care to avoid placing
the components on painted surfaces which could be scratched by the mounting
tabs. Also, do not allow upholstery to touch any rubber items, this will
permanently stain the vinyl.
