California Sidecar Trike information

[Firea100]

Now that I have my "new to me" California Sidecar trike, I'd like to find some information about it.
Some of my questions are:

Serial/vin number location.
Air ride inflation, inflator location.
Brake brand and part numbers.
General owners information.
Service information.
Standard exhaust system.
Trailer wiring harness/wiring diagram.

I've contacted my local dealer who was anxious to have me bring it in to trade up to a newer model, but had very little (read nothing) to give me about what I had!

I understand that replacement parts all have to come through an authorized dealer. I can't find a parts list to order from to begin with!

This 2000 Valkyrie was triked in 2005. I'm assuming that means it was a current kit at that time. (you know about assuming)

If there are any Valkyrie trike owners out there on our website, please chime in and please let me know what info you might have.

i've looked on our site for the California Sidecar section and didn't even see one. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong area??

Thanks,
Larry in East China Mi.

I have no info on the kit but you can scroll down to" Brand specific forum "and get info there. Hope this helps.

I suspect CSC has a website and a tech phone number. Give them a call, they may even have an owner's manual.

I didn't cruise the site, but it looks like you can download an Owner Manual + more. After you download / read all that you can see for free, then call them up.

Good luck on parts. I called CSC, wanted to replace the brake pads on my 98 Goldwing CSC trike. They told me to remove pads, take a picture of them & fax or email picture to them.

Pads didn't have to be changed at the time, I was changing & bleeding the clutch & brake fluids, so figured it'd be a good time.

So, if anyone has a GL1500 with a CSC kit on it & know which pads it takes, give me a heads up.

This is my 3rd CSC & brake pad issue is my only gripe.
Love the Valkyrie.

From CSC there 8 bucks per pad 4 per side. Can't get em anywhere else ( you can but just easier to get them from CSC ). Customer service is outstanding get # from website and let them know what you got and they'll fix you right up.

Mine are 1974 Karmen Ghia front brake pads. Look square with two round holes for mounting.

Could not agree more! Once you call them and speak with them you'll find they are not the enemy but rather a supporter. They love the older trikes.
