Hi,Β 

After years of wanting a sidecar I finally found a deal on a Motorvation Formula sidecar. It is missing the torsion arm removed link Is there a source for these parts or does anybody have a photo that I can use to build one? The ride height adjuster I have is in good shape and appeared to be setup for a spliced torsion bar.

Best regardsΒ 

Jim

A good resource is always Florida Sidecar Products. Β I don’t know the URL offhand but they have undertaken the role of keeping many orphan sidecar pieces alive over the years. Β Happy hunting.Β

Jim, WELCOME to the great sidecar show on Earth.

Here is the link that our ill President of this Sidecar Association wasn't able to provide to you, probably because he is finally able to eat...a Honey Bun(inside joke)

I don't believe that Florida Sidecar Products has any Motorvation sidecar parts or pieces, but you can ask.....just ask him.

But we do have other sidecarists out here that already have Motorvation sidecars, with the torsion bar, and maybe one of them can supply you with a picture, or....have a spare torsion bar they will sell to you.

If you haven't already, it might be worth contacting Midwest Sidecars and talk to Gary Greene.Β  If they don't have the parts, he may know of a way to get them.Β

And, sticky ice cream fingers Scott...the LIKE you posted on my post above yours....whilst it did register insider the system, and I got a notification that you LIKED that post, if you look above at my post, you will see that your user name is not showing as a LIKE.

Maybe I should just take a vacation, and walk away from these forums, until our Webmaster actually fixes this problem, that he continues to believe does not exist.
