Help me select a HP SC

Guest · 2006-11-23T01:13:28Z

Hi everyone, I now realize I must have a HP rig (I will keep the V Strom). I really liked the Bandito concept. I have talked with David Hannigan and I am seriously considering one of his on the Kawasaki ZX 14 platform. However, using Hannigan has a downside. I won’t be personally involved. I would like to try to build/assemble it here in California with a help of a buddy (McGuyver’s brother so to speak). He would do all the work, I will watch/”supervise”. This would let me see all the details, as well as give me the opportunity to truly customize it for Connie. I could also get the power/handling I want. My initial dilemma(s) are 1. I don’t know what type sidecar to get. All the manufacturers seem to be based on the east side of the country. I have looked online, but its is tough to tell from a couple pucture. I do need something with easy entry and a decent size trunk as we plan some long distance trips. Comfort is a big issue (she is quite petite, 4”11”, 110lbs). Any ideas of what specific SC to consider or, just as importantly, what to avoid would be greatly appreciated. 2. Although my buddy is very talented, he is has virtually no SC experience (other than he is currently fabricating a swaybar for the Strom). I think I should get a hub center steering with adjustable trail, with auto tires. Designing this from scratch is beyond us. Are there kits/assemblies available? Is there a shop who might work with me, i.e. sub assemblies? I think we can manage the wheels and swaybars, etc, *although any advice here would be very much appreciated. I do not want to start something totally beyond our capabilities, and would hate to get done and realized we missed something important. I haven't decided yet on the tug, the ZX14, Hayabusa, and Street Rod are high on the list, I will need one I can make comfortable (i.e. more upright). However, i think I would like to select the SC and sources to help 1st. Any advice/references, etc on either area will be appreciated Thanks, greg 213-300-3730
