Two friends of mine came by that have been driving sidecars for 25 to 30 years. We put the hack on but not quiet done. I did ride it about two miles and they Road it that much just checking to see what adjustment we needed to make.

I still need to torque everything, hook up the electrics, hook and bleed brakes as well as a few other things before I take it out of the neighborhood. If my health were up to it I would finish it today but just hurt to bad. Lord welling I will finish it tomorrow. Both sure need a good cleaning but that will have to wait.

Spent the biggest part of the day finishing up everything and at my age with my health problems took a while. I did get to put 30 miles on it I need to tweak the lean a little more away from the hack as it is pulling to the ring a little and left turns are harder then right. Front and sidecar tires seem to be running right in center.

I know I had it for two years and everything to mount. James and Eddie president and vice president of the Georgia Side Car club helped me yesterday. Needs one or two miner tweaks.
Thanks
Jeff

Needs one or two minor tweaks. Most all rigs require several tweaks to find the optimum alignment.

This I know and understand. James and Eddie got it real close now I have to do minor adjustments to suit me and my size. I have know James for 40 or so years and Eddie for about 10. I appreciate everything they did for me. All they did is ride it up and down the street. I am now riding at speed. It does not pull bad just enough I need to tweak it.
