I have a Ural with the leading link front end, and I might be interested in having it worked on so that it handles solo duty better. Who's the best person to talk to around North Georgia?
Thanks!

Blue Moon Cycle in Norcross is an Ural dealer. I've not had hack work done at the shop but I am a regular BMW customer there.
Blue Moon is where my bike was originally purchased, and the original owner didn't have much luck dealing with them. There were several things on the bike they failed to set up properly, and it eventually had to be taken to Mike's Cycle and Marine way up in TN to get sorted out. I was hoping there might be a sidecar specialist shop somewhere that was better familiar with custom builds. I've read that the leading link setup can be modified to accommodate solo riding (the stock Ural arrangement does not), but it takes some math, measuring, and welding. I suspect most standard dealers aren't up to the task.

SM, sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with BMC. Another possibility might be Boxerworks in Watkinsville. Their primary work is restoration of pre 1995 BMW's but they also do some custom and sidecar work. I don't have any experience with them but it might be worth a phone call to talk to Nathan to see how much experience they have.
