Something different.

Nice job Mike, looks good. Cant wait for next season to see how Jon goes on it and see if his theories prove to be good, interesting!

Thanks Terry and a very well done to you / Roy and John in winning the championship

Very nice Mike. I bet that gets confusing

[Triplebrew]

Like that

With the chair on the other side, do you move the brakes so they're still inboard, so they would be the same as a solo, or leave them on the left? I guess that would be more complicated to do well and would leave them out in the open and vulnerable (the reason I was always told they were moved was to make them simpler and less prone to getting knocked - not because of the old brit bike system).
What else would have to move - don't go trying to tell me you put the throttle on the left, I'm not that gullible

Its quite a lot different Steve, I thought it would be a mirror image but it isnt I had to move all the mounting holes on the bed for my jigs. The rear suspension is off the diff instead of the swinging arm. The brakes stay in board but I did one for a Dutch chap last year with chair on left and had to put brake pedal on right foot I did it through a linkage with master cyliders under the left kneeler
One of the next bikes to do is a Guzzi for Henk Jonker that will be interesting
Any welder /fabricators need some work give me a shout lots of bikes to build

Thanks Mike that was what I was thinking. There must be all sorts of things that are in different places.

It's Mainly the Chair Steve.

Thanks for the expert insight Ed Even as a passenger I'd think I would notice that at the first corner.. get that wrong and things would get messy
I hadn't even thought about the drive, even a chain drive would be quite a bit of work but a shaft hadn't entered my train of thought (see what I did there, drive.. train? )

Even as a passenger I'd think I would notice that at the first corner..

Are you sure?

neat work Mike, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

Mike, Dutchman Henk Jonker used to race a Ducati [righthand sidecar] and then go out in the unlimited race on the Moto Guzzi [Lefthand sidecar] .I Guess he is going to have a sidecar BOTH SIDES.

[Bob B]

Great Idea Den, no need for a passenger at all;-)

[mrequipe]

We will see if its any better than a right chair The corner weights are interesting Its good to have variety . The Guzzi option is a viable alternative to the BMW at a fraction of the cost with similar power outputs according to Henk
