So all the gory details are on the post I made on the introduction portion of this forum. It was suggested that I detail my rig. I'll leave it up to you if you think it belongs here. Disclaimer 1, I don't consider it a sidecar, it's a purpose built, hopefully temporary, attachment I built so I could work out some adaptive issues. However, the basic construction may be of help to those here looking to build their own rig. I do have to say it has worked well beyond my expectations. Disclaimer 2 If it turns out that I can't ride on two wheels again, since I built the first version this bike 20 years ago, (the 2008 version is my avatar here) and I like it, I will build a wider version of the chassis so I can still enjoy it. So, if you think it's worth staying posted here, cool, I have build pics, and can explain my methods, or if you think it needs deleted from this forum, say so, and I will delete it. Thanks.

Back on solid ground. The alignment is very neutral to start out with, .2 degrees of + camber at the side wheel, .1 degree of lean out, toe is set the same amount as the first chassis, and I'm using the center lead position first.

Still need to build the new front strut, weld the nuts to the threaded rods, build an extension harness for the hack tail/brake light, and some other stuff.

Closer.
