Hi all ...not much happening here but thought I'd add this info -- last year Al Olme pointed me to Duncan Holaday concerning a recommendation for EurowingUSA (EML Dealer: https://emltrike.com/en/sidecars/)).  Duncan had fine things to say about his experience and I went ahead and contacted them re a build on my 2004 K1200 BMW.

Allow me to add my praises to Eurowing...Marvin and Sali were a delight to deal with...a truly first class outfit!  Marvin has done a first class job on assembly and his local painters/detailers....seem to live up to the quality that I was interested in seeing used for the build.

The rig is about ready to be picked up and I am excited to go get it...here are some recent pics of it.

That looks great!  Are all those "vents" in the side of the car functional?  That's a lot of structure to lose all in one place.

Fabulous looking s/c rig, especially like the bikes front end and the usage of automobile tires/wheels

That sure is a beaut. Can't wait to hear how it handles with all day riding. Please post up your impressions and comments.

I have an earlier EML conversion and I'm really interested in the single side front suspension.  Filling my front tire with a big disc on each side is a test of both will and innovation.  After struggling with the issue for a couple of years and burning the back of my hand on a hot brake disc, I found a variable angle air chuck from Motion Pro.  It's expensive $40.99 [for an air chuck] but it works really well.  BTW, it's about $37 on Amazon w/ free Prime Shipping.
