Sidecars- Lets see em.

Blocked from opening.:huh

The sidecar has just a little toe-in to keep it steady at high speed.
The front pivot is 8cm higher than the rear pivot, this helps the steering a lot.
The total width of the combination is around 185cm and the wheel base width is 143cm. The sidecar wheel axle is placed 25cm before the rear axle.
I've got loads of pictures but no drawings. I've created this just from a few sketches and from images in my head based on experiences I've had with building the first prototype on my GSX.

:d:d

I can't understand the voices in my head: they always seem to be intoxicated...

Barnone, where's your photograph gone?

Not my thing.
And it's nice to be able to disagree.

Thankfully it's not most people's thing either

My monkey and me on the Dragon the other day on our way to ride our bicycles around Cade's Cove.

Does that mean that whilst i looks good on one of those TV shows, it isn't necessarily functional? ie, it may run but no one would want to ride it more than the width of the TV studio.

and says she's taking the hack to town for grocery's. I said OK as I thought "yeah right". Hell, I've used worse excuses to go for a ride, I think she sensed some doubt in my chuckle so I got these pics on my phone a few hours later. Its about a 55-60 mile round trip so taking the hack over the family truckster saves about half the gas or almost enough to buy a 6 of Guinness!





Apparently they aren't just for fun.

I think those are the same groceries that she had last week.

Put some Modtop mufflers on my Yamal and took a ride in the rain and got them dirty. They really sound sweet.

You kids always out riding them motorbikes Glad you're enjoying it!

I realize that the camera's perspective affects the visual size of the topcase, but it still looks huge. Whose topcase is that?

Yep, it is not that big. Measures 12in. L x 16 1/2in. W x 11in. D

The left hand rig that didn't sell became another Boxer Metal build. I gave this to my good friend Shane who helps me out at the shop and this is what has transpired in the last 48 hours. Shane will start a build thread soon.

Thanks Chris for posting up. As Chris mentioned I will be creating a build thread to account for the last week.

That's an interesting fork setup, i can't see the pivot of the swing arm, can you enlighten me?
