Steib S500 on a BMW /2 frame;
-It's starting to bug me that the front end of the SC is lower than the back. The rig rides and steers fine, no strange tire wear. Should lack of parallelability to the road be a concern?
-If I change lean-out, can I just lengthen/shorten the top struts, or do I have to loosen everything?
Thanks
Gee, you guys- I'd really like some opinions before I head to Boone (assuming I figure out why my bike is running on one jug all of a sudden).
Having the nose down isn't a problem if the passenger is comfortable and the rig handles well with even tire wear. Some prefer this on some rigs since it resists the tendency to lift at high speeds. With your body style speed lifting shouldn't be a problem however.
A level sidecar side to side and front to back just looks better esthetically(IMOP).
Any time lean-out or toe-in is changed to some degree, some or all mounts will need to be adjusted to level and align the sidecar.
