Military Accessories for Russian Motorcycles • Does it stir your heart when you see a sidecar with a machine gun, or watch an old re-run of “Rat Patrol”? Motorcycles have been going to war, as long as there have motorcycles around to go to war. In a military conflict, any bike will do if it’s reliable, and Russian bikes are purpose-built to withstand just about anything. First came the M-72, next Ural, and then Dnepr, all intended as military machines. We’ll look at all the parts needed to militarize your Russian bike with sidecar. Needless to say, we may have missed a few things. Please write us if you have more additions. • Whenever Russian motorcyclists get together, they naturally flock to the militarized rig. There’s something about a machine gun mount that attracts everyone, sets it apart. Even at re-enactments, the motorcycle with a machine gun is a natural hit. • I’ve tried to gather information to help those who are considering adding weapons to their rig, starting with machine guns and ending with lights and shovels. Even adding ammo boxes and panniers helps to add storage space. Finally we examined Ural’s Gear-Up with its impressive array of weapons. The only thing left is the “potato gun” attachment. • I’ve included comparison charts indicating current prices within each group. • We’ve also included suggested websites for Russian motorcycle accessories. 3 Military Accessories for Russian Motorcycles • Part I: Intro to Machine Guns, Mounts, Boxes and Black-Out Lights – Suggested Websites for Russian Motorcycle Accessories • Part II: Machine Guns (MGs) – MG-34 / MG-42 / DP-28 / PK • Part III: Machine Gun (MG) Mounts – Part III (A): Front Machine Gun (MG) Mounts – Part III (B): Rear Machine Gun (MG) Mounts – Part III (C): Adding a Front-Corner (NATO-style) MG Mount – Part III (D): Machine Gun Pintles – Part III (E): Bi-Pod Mounts • Part IV: Machine Gun Transports • Part V: Ammo Canisters, Panniers and Tool Boxes – Part V (A): Ammunition (Ammo) Canisters – Part V (B): Panniers and Tool Boxes – Part V (C): Soft Panniers – Part V (D): Pannier and Tool Box Brackets • Part VI: Ural Gear-Up Weapons • Part VII: Black-Out Lights • Part VIII: Driving and Spot Lights • Part IX: Shovels and Axes The most important thing is to search the internet for recent additions, changes, and to check the latest prices.

    2011 Blackline ­ Owner's Manual Safety First Safe Operating Rules Motorcycles are different from other vehicles. They operate, steer, handle and brake differently. Unskilled or improper use could result in loss of control, death or serious injury. (00556c) Take a rider training course. Read Owner's Manual before riding, adding accessories or servicing. Wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing. Never tow a trailer. Before operating your new motorcycle it is your responsibility to read and follow the operating and maintenance instructions in this manual, and follow these basic rules for your personal safety. Know and respect the rules of the road (see Rules of the Road). Carefully read and familiarize yourself with the motorcycle safety information that is provided by your country or state. In the United States, read the RIDING TIPS booklet that is provided with your Owner's Manual, and read through the MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK which is made available by your state. Before starting engine, check for proper operation of brake, clutch, shifter, throttle controls, correct fuel and oil supply. Harley­Davidson parts and accessories are designed for Harley­Davidson motorcycles. Using non­Harley­Davidson parts or accessories can adversely affect performance, stability or handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00001b) Use only Harley­Davidson approved parts and accessories. Use of certain other manufacturer's performance parts will void your new motorcycle warranty. See your Harley­ Davidson dealer for details. Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
