I bought a sidecar rig.

It's a 2002 Honda Shadow Spirt with a Velorex 562 Sidecar. I bought the rig entirely for the sidecar because the owner didn't want to break it up. I already have the Shadow listed on Craigslist and I'm looking to get something with more of a classic feel like an old japanese bike or BMW.

Check it out here:

What do you guy think?

Keep the whole rig. The shadow is an excellent tug. Mine has served me well for 4 years.

What you have is a pretty good combination. Ride it for a while, then see if you really want to go Retro or not.

Phellonius, each time I see an example of your sidecar ballast I start to understand why my wife urged me to swear, never to take a woman into the (Jawa) sidecar who is not a family member....
Je oller je doller...or tender mice for old cats.

She didn't urge we to do so with the Ural yet, as its still in USA.
Enjoy every day.

looks good. but you want to make sure po. did not rake out triple tree, cause it would make a bad 2 wheeler if the trail was reduce. I put a 5 1/2 deg raked tree on mine, I would not want to ride it with out the sidecar now.

Thank you Johnny, how did you post this pic?

Hi William,
How I posted your pictures is easy but it wasn't to long ago that I couldn't have done it so don't let it get you down over time you too will learn your way around.
First I went to your photo album and right clicked and "copied" your picture. I then went back and "Quoted" your post and when the screen came up over on the left their is a box "Use Rich Text Editor". I clicked the box and a new screen will appear. At the end of your quote I wrote a sentence and then right clicked and hit "paste"; It's that easy.
Good luck and have fun always remembering that "Sidecar's are Fun".
Johnny

If she finds a blond hair, tell her you gave a lift to a golden retriever. Or get a golden to cover for you in such things.

Phellonius;
I have a blind Golden retriever with redish hair...
a black labrador and my daughter 2 sheperds.
Might I be covered colorwise?
