G'day
New member from the northside of brisbane QLD
Been absorbing the info from the forum.
Recently brought a 01 1400 that might of been sitting for awhile . Got to sort the issues of a bike that's been sitting...dropped cylinder,  gunked up clutch master , no fluid  etc. Not a bad bike pulls hard and clears than starves . Wont be staying as 2 wheel for too long ;-)
Might have a bit more power than my other extra wheel unit  :happy1:

G'day Will. Welcome aboard.
The 14 seems a popular choice for adding another wheel to.
Keep us in the loop with the build.  :cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Gidday Will S, welcome to the forum. Sure looks an interesting project, seen a few pics of those from Aussie, very handy setup I'd imagine.

Welcome Will,

I would shout your bike a set of spark plugs, sort out your fluid problems then perhaps think about the fuel filter mod.

These bikes sitting can suffer from poor ignition of the fuel which causes breakdown on the ceramic insulator of the spark plug, not obvious to
the eye, I've been caught out with it as have a few others.

Welcome from another on the north side of Brisbane!


You doing a sidecar build I presume (none others on this forum so that'll be interesting).

That off-roader outfit is intriguing. What bike is that?  I'm glad to see that you have a giant beer esky* on it - Aussie !

There is another member who has an outfit, lady over Perth way if I recall right, we don't hear from her very often.  Barbara is her name I think.

It started life as a postie bike.
Offroadable sidecar for the 1400 once I get it running  right.  The plan is to get it on the road without a chair and then the sidecar project will start .

Hey Will
I do like the idea of a chair .......... until I hit the twisties.  :cheers:
The initial attraction to motorcycling inflicts people for various reasons and at different stages in their lives. But once someone experiences the elation of riding a motorcycle there's no denying the nearly spiritual effect it has.
