Would you try & take it green laning

It is adjustable on the 3 mounts that are on at the moment.
So I will be doing final adjustments then make bottom back mount to strengthen everything.
Theres no suspension on the sidecar wheel

so I doubt I will do much greenlaning, mabe a couple of tracks. Need to learn how to drive the bloody thing first

big oversight that ,not having a shock on the third wheel.....youll not get a dog to ride in it without it getting bounced out

Its done!
Had a ride around the block and met a mate who has a sidecar who had ago on it, thought it was great!
Need to adjust the bike to lean out ever so slightly and decrese the toe in abit.
May have to rig up a steering damper. or just man up!

Great news, coming to the Elephantentreffen.

Some guys rig up steering dampers off VW beetles etc, they are long and cheap as chips.

Yep thats the one, hes called Kev and usually goes with his mate Ian, kev on a R65 and Ian on his R80 or both in the R80.

Just got back from a longer ride, kept cutting out

fuel leaking out of overflow..
otherwise it rides ok, front wheel is a bit skittish when driving round right handers.
