    I was wondering about that front clamp myself, maybe it's just the angle of the photo, or not the completed version.

    The sidecar looks great, is this a production unit or a one off?

    Yes, Thanks, I somehow suspected I'd that response. "It's a sidecar."

    I think I've narrowed it down to being a Jupiter. Made by either IMZ or Ural - I think. Mid 70's - I think.

    Anyone know the value of something like this?

    I am really more concerned about knowing the weight of it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.....

    Though it might be, I don't think so. The swing arm has an outside arm and the nose has a different shape and lines to it. Though the frame is near identical. It may be something Sputnik (or Ural, or Jupiter) made for just a year or two.

    I've looked at lots of photos trying to figure this one out, but haven't yet positively ID'd it.

    I am trying to figure it out 'cause a guy not too far away has it for sale for about $2K. I don't know the weight, and neither does he. Don't know if it'll be too heavy for my DR650 to tug. The guys says it weights 100 pounds which it way too light for a car. Also, I don't want to pay too much for it or rip the other guy off either.

    Thanks for trying........ Still researching it.....:norton

    It sure looks like a variant of a Jupiter. The step is exactly the same as this one and the lines are very similar.

    It looks to be the same weight as a Sputnik and the DR650 will pull it fine. Drop a tooth on the front if you want a little more torque. I have a Sputnik on my KLR and it does fine. With the long travel suspension it handles differently than the other rigs I have had.

    It looks Chinese to me

    Check out the fender, frame and swing arm in this photo

    The windshield hinges and body work looks very similar to these photos

    You are THE man !!!!! It appears to be an identical match. It must be the Chinese version of an IZH Jupiter. Thanks for looking. The basic shape are the same - outside swing arm on the ad - and the windscreen brackets. I call it the one and same. :freaky

    Thanks again. Now I am left wondering what it it worth. :norton I imagine bearins might be tough to get.....

    Bearings may be standard sizes. I was able to match mine up at an O'Rileys when they crapped out on my fly and ride for the KLR.

    I cant imagine it would be worth 2 G's , I would think twice paying a thousand for it. It looks to be on the small side, Was it designed for someone that is around 4 feet tall ?

    I imagine you are correct about the bearing. Nice outfit you got there. :nod How effective is your drum brake?
