Nice work briank. Easy step-in access to the sidecar. How's it drive?

IT drives great. Steers good with no head shake.

Wow, nice work. One thing that I really like is how high the sidecar seat is. The chief complaint that my wife has about riding in the sidecar is not being able to see over guard rails and bridge railings. Enjoy your rig.

Nice work Brian! Is that an electric trim setup between the wheel and the body? I'd love to see some detailed pics of your car's suspension.

The seat is in the up position. It is raised and lowered with a electric actuator. It travels a little over 7 ". I'll try to post a pic in the down position.

Hey RR Liz is like Deb they can't see over the rail standing! 🙂 Beautiful craftsmanship on the chair! 🙂
