Title: New Sidecar Project
Post by: bubby-joe on February 14, 2010, 12:59:34 AM
Has anyone here ever built there own sidecar.  I'm exploring this option because the wife had her knee done and it no longer bends to put her foot on the rear foot peg so only other option is to build my own as I've not even seen one for sale in over 30 years.  I've started the frame and suspension but probably won't be finished until the TOY RUN in the fall.  Got a Suzuki 18 inch mag wheel from the land fill for $5.00 CDN it's even straight, $23.00 CDN for new bearings it's a start.  It's not a snowflake but it's cheap.  It's also a place to put my fishing kayak when she can't go.  Last one I built went on an HT-1 90cc. Yamaha Enduro (1970) but I never carried a passenger on that one and destroyed it before going to the military in 71
