  • Side Car

    I'm debating on sourcing a side car. Anybody have experience with them?

    If Fredintoon is still around he knows practically everything there is to know. You may have to PM him ti get his attention.

      Thanks Ras. I knew in my head who had it, but seeing some of the vets no-longer around, I couldn't remember his nane.

      Hope all is well.

        Brent had one as well. He's still around, but maybe not on channel 11. Last seen at September VYR.

          sidecar

          I have a 78 with a Hitchhiker. Excellent bike for a sidecar. The only drawback is it has a lot of trail. If you have a standard it can be cured using parts from a special. Stock trail is 5.12". If you install a special front forks and brakes you will reduce it to 3.5. add the special top tree will make it 2.5"

            Fred showed up recently in a facebook post saying he had sold his sidecar.

            I too would love to find a sidecar! We are oddly similar with our yellow bikes.....

              Lol, Nate. I have a new pup that may not do well being left at home. I want him to tag along.

                My dogs don't like being left home either, but I would not trust either of my dogs in a sidecar. Would have to put in a harness to hold mine in.

                    I love it, you have to post some pics if you get a sidecar, I'd love to see it!

                      I ended-up getting another dog instead, to keep him company.
