About ready for the initial run



Some details. Note that the under cowl glove box has become a very popular addition. Quite handy and lockable.
Windshield is easily removed.







Heading home

That looks like a very "proper" sidecar. And handsome.

Orange paint + black paint will get you 'that sort of look'.

How does it go?
'Wasp' is part of the equation. What is the engine? I first thought Honda, but it appears to have dohc.

And a chain tensioner!!! What ever happened to them?
More pointedly - wheredoyagetit?

Very curious.

Full time 2WD? Does it have some kind of CV joint or how does it handle the different wheel speeds in turns? Stomp a Ural's guts out how? speed on road? ability off-road? What's a comfortable on road cruise speed?

My old BSA WD/M20. Believe it or not, I toured Israel on this thing then shipped it back to the US! Engine seized once. It didn't go very fast, but it sure was a tractor. When I rode into the old city of Acre/Acco and had a bunch of kids jump-in the side car for a ride. The Israel Police were not amused to say the least. I then made the mistake of riding into the wrong neighbourhood in Jerusalem on a Saturday morning. I got yelled at and rocks thrown at me for "desecrating the sabbath".

I just found the same sidecar body. Do you know who made it?

Painted my MZ 301 winterhack "army"gray ( well, actually my wife did, she used to be a painter by trade )
It's a matt grey, just like I wanted it to be:





Kept the front of the "lastenseitenwagen" as it was, with the original logo of the DDR electricitycompany where they used it. It will get a clear coat to protect it.



Had a template made by a militairy garage down the road for the sidepanels:



Should not forget pics of the wife painting the bike

[Mechanista]

I need to find a little hack for my TS 150!

I wish I could get my wife to paint...

Hahaha OMW, I had been thinking of camo, used to have a Chevy K30 in urban Camo but went for the flat grey this time.

Looking for a template of a torpedo or something like that to paint them on the side of the sidecar

Beautiful setup! I really miss my Dakar. Never even thought of hanging a chair from it.

Still one of my favorite ride reports. That ride report also turned me on to the BV2S, best Winter helmet I have ever used for riding the motorcycle in sub zero temperatures, thanks for both.
