Hi all I have a triumph scrambler 900 with watsonian gp700 fitted, it is huge fun, I just need a little more light when riding in the dark.
Has anyone fitted spot lights to their outfit and if so which ones etc?
Happy riding

Why on gods name would you want to ruin a perfectly good two wheeler by sticking an encumberance on the side? You may as well have bought a car.

Seems legit. Whistle

On topic, nope, sorry. But why fite them to the barge rather than the bike?

Ridden a sidecar bike, its a different kind of fun but i enjoyed it.Was especially funny getting the side car in the air haha.
I would not have one myself but thats the point aint it.
Everyone has their own thing, same as the latest sports bikes have zero appeal to me.
One of my mates just bought a can am trike and loves it as he spends half the time spinning the back up and sliding the mental thing.

Im glad fireyphoenix1989 has got sense. we all have our own biking things that make us happy and sidecars are part of my biking life. A lot of the time when people slag of sidecars its because they have either never ridden one or they have rode one that isn't set up properly.
I have found an led spotlight which I will fit to the sidecar.

My old man had a 1978 400/4 with a Squire wedge shaped sidecar on it. I took it out a few times without his knowledge
during the daytime while he was in bed because nightshift. It was a lot happier with a passenger in it, but a bloody handful
without. I was just happy to be riding something bigger than my 125, he did it to get around the licence restrictions at the time
as he only had provisional.

I don't mind a sidecar, but you must be prepared for the inevitable day when they split in a comedic 'on the buses' style and the 'encumburance' careers into the nearest body of water..
