Is there a place in the US to get Unit Leading Link? I know at one time DMC would make them. I know they’re not cheap and I know I don’t “need” them but I want them. Any positive help or advice is appreciated.

Hi Kevin. 

What machine are you want to fit the front end to?

There are options depending on what tug you have.

Kevin, to be correct, the former DMC sidecars in Washington State never made a "Unit leading Link".

The "Unit" brand leading link is from a company in the UK, and was eventually bought out by, or owned by WASP, which makes motorcycle related racing items.

The former DMC in Washington State did make their own version of a Leading Link front end, and now that this company has been sold to TSC...Texas Sidecar Company, you may want to contact them, as they can make a Leading Link front end very similar to the Unit branded Leading Link, and they do a very good job in making them.

TSC/DMC/Watsonian in Donie, Texas.

But, as my friend from Western Australia has asked....which motorcycle are you thinking of putting this on ?

It makes a WORLD of difference on which bike, as some do better with a Leading Link front end, and other do better with raked triple trees, or other modifications.

You avatar picture shows a 2001 - 2003 Honda Goldwing 1800, and having owned one of those myself, I would suggest front end modifications other than a Leading Link... however, it is YOUR bike, so you need to do what works best for you.
