Remi, I am 'bout convinced that aligning sidecar rigs may be more art than math & science. Best of luck with your set-up.

I wonder if the rubber mallet called for in the old instruction manual is for safety... So you don't beat someone or yourself with a real hammer while trying to align a sidecar... LOL. I think I may just load everything up on my trailer and tow it to someone that's done this once or twice. If someone knows of anyone in the Toronto, Ontario, Canada area that may be familiar with sidecars, I would love to speak with them. Thank you.
Finally got some time to marry the sidecar to the bike. I think I've got it set up pretty well for the time being. I do get a handlebar shimmy when traveling at slower speeds, but then it smoothes out. I still don't have the brake attached to the sidecar, but the bike stops quite well without it. It will be hooked up at the same time I convert my rear brakes to the 08-up Brembo setup. I have to wire up all the lights next, and then I can do a proper road test to see how the alignment panned out. Any pointers as to what to watch for? Thanks.
