Nice. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Also will tie on a VW steering damper to connect from forks to sidecar. Motorcycle swing arms on sidecars has been used many of times. Down side is changing a flat and availability of the tire, plus looks. Plus side is it was laying around, it has brakes already and don't have to make a swing arm. I have two books I purchased one is how to make everything the second is how to setup and drive it. Plus have countless hours researching online and reading threw posts, looking at pictures of hacks and tug setups.

She was happy with it. I used to pull a trailer with my 91 750. The trailer weighted 120 pounds bare. (harbor freight special) I added plywood with 2x4 s to make a box. With all the stuff I've put in there, it could have been up to 200pounds of weight back there. I had to slip the clutch in 1st gear to get her to move in traffic. Can do? Yes. Now I have switched to side boxes, a trunk box and a sissy bar bag. At the local Webster bike flea market there used to be a guy selling sidecars for older Jap bikes, but building your own is cool. With that swingarm setup, would there be a lot of wobble going down the road? ________________________________ From: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com<mailto:nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com> <nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com<mailto:nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com>> on behalf of Jeremy <jman2...@gmail.com<mailto:jman2...@gmail.com>> Sent: Monday, May 16, 2016 6:52:21 AM To: nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com<mailto:nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sidecar hack I want one, can even shift it to 2wd so the sidecar wheel is also driving. Sidecars have been put on lots of bikes even pedal bikes lol. I think my frame gets the monster look because of the motorcycle swing arm, you can also use a torsion trailer axle and wheel. It's only a 2 x 4 foot frame. Sent from my iPhone On May 15, 2016, at 11:19 PM, Javier Garcia <jajgar...@gmail.com<mailto:jajgar...@gmail.com>> wrote: How big are the engines in the Ural?

That's a 200cc 2-stroke so I would think a 750 could haul one around, though it'll be slower of course. That said, there is nothing more terrifying than riding in a sidecar on a Houston interstate highway.

Look at the overall capacity weight of your motorcycle specs. Even one of those 1300cc Suzuki's may have a hard time pulling it although they could. Unless you have experience doing this already, I'd say you are going to flog your engine and maybe provide a safety danger. What's that formula, something like (assume optimistically) 6.7 lbs = 1 hp (for your motor)? In addition, the weight will be off-canter to the cog and have tracking force issues. O/W, looks good!

Going to hook it up too the 1981 CB 750c. The upper struts can mount easy to the frame. The lowers is will take some work. Plus you have to be able to adjust sidecar wheel lead, toe in, and lean the bike out from the car. Lots of black magic. Speaking of the cb700 were you the one who wanted the lens? I couldn't remember who wanted it. Sent from my iPhone On May 15, 2016, at 9:14 AM, Kurt Nolte <vturbin...@gmail.com> wrote: That looks pretty heavy. Where are you planning to mount it on the 700?

Coil over is from a 2005 goldwing with electric damping adjustment. Making the mounts to correctly attach it to the bike is going to be the hard part. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
