I have a Velorex 560 from the 70's. Is there a way to upgrade to axle on that older model?

Earle, Lonnie passed away. I'm currently upgrading mine using his idea. I wish I would have bought it from him when I had the chance, but by the time I decided, he had sold all he had and wasn't making more.

 

I'm planning on submitting my trials and tribulations as an article for the magazine, the last bit (hopefully) is currently being welded up. I think it's a lot for a topic here, but if you want me to share, I will.

 

Bottom line: you should probably get a bigger sidecar, and sell this to someone with a smaller bike. The process is a PitA, and unless you really want to get deep in how a sidecar fits together, or are just a stubborn cuss like me, it really isn't worth it. Free material and machining is also a plus, when my tool maker friends were laid off, it cost me $250 to get this last part done (notice Lonnie's complete kit was $300).
