    I'm dreaming of putting a hack on my V and need some motorcycle porn to help sell the deal to the mrs. If you have any pics post 'em here. All I have are the Dauntless ones but I'd love to see some more!

    Claude,

    I'm seriously considering taking the Ural sidecar off my 2007 KLR and putting it on a V Strom. The sidecar has a Dauntless subframe. Any thoughts you'd care to share about the idea?

    You know, Richard, I don't think it's the language thing at all.

    It's the wide variety of tastey rigs you have over there that makes me want to slap you upside the head!:evil

    Nice sidecar(again)-thanx for posting

    Go for it. The subframe for a V Strom is a little involved compared to some bikes. Take a look at the thread caleled 'subframes' . Some will not agree but we will not do a rig like you are planning without a swaybar.

    I have a Ural sidecar on a V Strom, done by Dauntless. Sort of a dual sport rig, including a swaybar. However, I am having problems figuring how to post pictures, I think the procedure has changed (no?). I notice the numerous pics I had on another thread have been deleted (file size issues or something).

    If i can figure it out, I'd be mre than happy to post

    That’s a RUKO Shark 2 (what’s in a name) two-seater.

    Hey Greg, any chance of you posting some pics of the sub frame?

    Much appreciated if you can.

    Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I could certainly take some pics with the tub on...would this work?.. I do need to figure out how to post pics as well.
