Well, I'll go at this in two parts. First, increasing activity, I have been a member of a forum that has to do with garages and tools for many years...
Back to the table for the chassis. More welding, and building the reinforcement plates for the underside. Had to plug the bike in, and found the rocke...
I go to his channel a lot for guidance still. My torch setup is mostly parts from his store.
I built the first one in anger, kind of an FU to the guy who put me in the position of having to put a training wheel on my bike. So I purposely built...
For the first hack, I built the chassis first, then the bike side mounts were built to meet the chassis and fit the bike. When I built the upper strut...
Here are pics of the first chassis, and of the current one. I clamp the heck out of everything. One of the reasons I chose this particular table was t...
Top side welded and sanded flat. With my short beads, the top side and under side took 50+ separate welds to get this far. With the heat from the TIG,...
Well, I am making progress. But, when I built the first chassis, I MIG welded everything but the threaded tube ends. My right hand has since developed...
I really won't know until I ride it. I built the first one somewhat void of technical sidecar knowledge, although it was adjustable in all the right p...
One last mockup, before playing garage tetris, and moving the chassis back to the table. All those holes are to provide three different lead positions...
And the other one. I'll probably touch them up a little tomorrow. But for now I'll get out and enjoy fake spring 2.0. 71 degrees at 4 pm.
One down, needs a bit more, but good for now. #blacksnot
Ok then. Got the threaded tube ends welded up today, (go easy on the weld quality please, total amateur here). As you can see in the mock up pic, thes...
I have some ideas to change the upper front strut for foot clearance. So I modified, my modified brake pedal a bit today.
You are on the same track. The roof is 2x4 trusses, so can't bear any additional weight without reinforcement. Thought of the HF gantry, but with my 8...
