Hello everyone,

My name is Sergio and I live in Belgium.

I currently own a BMW F900XR, and I’ve just purchased a stunning 1985 BMW K100 with a sidecar!

I’m joining this group to gather as much information as possible to help with its restoration.

See you soon!

Hi, 
your sidecar is a Goliath Alizee, french made sidecar in Guecelard, Sarthe (near Le Mans).
The builder, Noël Viel, is out of business since many years so finding spare parts is impossible. But they were usually using car parts for lights and brakes, and aftermarket shocks. As it has three studs, the sidecar wheel hub is probably a Renault R5 or R4 part.
This side car has a frame wrapped into the fiberglass. It may be a huge problem when rust attacks the frame, it's almost impossible to clear without destroying the sidecar; 
But these had a good fame of quality.
I almost bought one years ago...I remember that it was pleasant to ride with a very good roadhandling , but it had small car wheels: yours seems to have the K100 OEM 18 inches wheels.

Oh, thank you very much!
This already gives me a very important piece of information. Until now, I couldn’t find any sidecars identical to mine, but knowing the model makes things much easier. However, as you mentioned, there aren’t many parts available anymore.
I need a rear light, but I think I’ll have to go for a standard “vintage-style” one.

Good luck with the restoration.

I think that the rear lights used on these sidecars were standard aftermarket trailer lights, like this one: 


Cheap, easy to find in any auto parts shop.

dag meneer, salut Sergio

good luck with your project

Here’s a photo from the back:


Indeed, if I can’t find an identical one, I’ll go for a standard one like the one you showed. 

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Sergio
IMHO you could fit any rear light with an E approval

Welcome Sdamasoc

Nice project, Good luck with it

It’s going well

Welcome, Sergio! That K100 with a sidecar sounds like an incredible project looking forward to seeing your restoration updates!

I am going to visit my daughter in Antwerp in May for a few days so will be staying in her house in Schoten- she allows me to park the bike in her garage. We both like the Elizabetzaal and are going to 2 concerts on 9 and 10th May. Might get a chance to meet up at some point!!

I have pretty much decided to take one of the Ks over and head down to south west France and then back up to Dijon for Moto Legends 23/24/25 May as its quite a big K gathering.
