British Bikes / Re: AJS model D needs a sidecar ?
« on: August 07, 2018, 09:16:45 AM »
Moin,
I have now made new sidecar-fittings.
The sidecar is already on the bike.
Track and fall are already correct.
A few more details, then it should be the next weekend
give the first test drive.

Before Travemünde, a dolphin was spotted.
Greetings from the hot Baltic Sea

Don't worry, before I know exactly what kind of paint it is now and how I work it then, I do not waste any weight on it.
No oil, no wax, no polish .....

Thanks and Greetings

Can't help with the fittings, but there are still firms that specialise in sidecars ?
An engineering shop could soon fabricate up those fittings ?

I would be able to make the fittings myself.
I have lathe and milling machine.
But a photo of the fittings would be very helpful for me then
can also make reasonably true to original.

Hi,
Thank you for your answers!
The paint work is definitely the original one.
It has not been repainted anywhere, not even on the frame
(See more photos)
Thanks also for the reference to enamel paint.
The motorcycle is from 1919, the sidecar should be 1922-1923.
I have the original brochure for the 1919er Combination.
There is nothing to paint the sidecar and I was not
got the idea to look at the bike, because I was always from
Nitro paint went out.
But now I have looked:" 4 coats finest black enamel ......" ::)
(See Foto)
The sidecar was painted on metal and on wood.
When I look at it that way, it almost looks as if they have painted the frame and fender differently than for the body?
The biggest damage I would like to repair something and the paint should shine too ??
The sidecar should be so original, but the difference to the bike, I would like to reduce.

Thanks and regards
Karsten

Moin Moin from the Baltic See,
I was very lucky and found a sidecar.
Well then not the actually wanted light sidecar,
but for the original one belongs to my motorcycle
and as you can see in a fantastic original condition! :)
But now I have a problem:
My bike is fully restored and shines .....
That's why I would have to ask a few now.
How can I improve the original paint (Nitrocellulose?) on the sidecar?
How can I patinate my motorcycle?
I miss the connections on the motorcycle (see photo). Does anyone still have these?
Can someone take pictures of it, so that I can copy these?

Many thanks and reguads

British Bikes / AJS model D needs a sidecar ?
« on: January 27, 2016, 05:43:04 AM »
Hi,
My name is Karsten and I live in northern Germany.
I drive a very long time a AJS Model D from 1919, which I have also restored itself (see photos).
Just as long as I've been looking for a sidecar for this bike.
I do not seek the great original AJS-sidecar.
Seeking a smaller lighter sidecar with a plywood body (see photos).
Maybe someone has a tip for me here ??

Thanks and Greetings
Karsten
