building your own sidecar

W4lnutz, Here's my build and it is still doing great running gravel roads with the faster dual sport riders.

It can loose traction in wet loose gravel.

The hydrodynamics of the "Tug" do not look very seaworthy, but neither does a supertanker to me. I have the How to build a sidecar book also and had the same thought about the torsion axle. Do your homework on braking systems and ask for advice here. You get grate input from the people on this site. Who actually know what they are talking about. 🙂
