A different approach to sidecar
12/14/15 at 13:37:00
Just completed, and thought perhaps members might enjoy checking out our sidecar rig: Savage with Harley fenders, matching replaced Ural sidecar fender. (Dressed for Christmas.) Much of the tech aspects came off of this very valuable site. 3rd Sidecar build for us, first with Savage. More pics uploaded below.

Looks really good! I'm just wondering if it's strong enough to pull it. I've read about different people being disappointed with the performance.

So long as 60 to 65 MPH is your required maximum speed, then the Savage has enough to pull the sidecar along with a 128 pound wife along for the ride in the car. And, thank you for the compliments. The fabrication was a bit strained initially since I prefer a sidecar wheel set about 16 inches forward, rather than 12: handles better.

If you're happy with the performance then that's all that matters!

Neat! Got any pics of the fabrication, how it's attached, etc? Nice job.

It appears a bit of the paint for the motorcycle and sidecar might be on the garage floor. (Been there.....Done That!).
It looks really nice. Is it hilly or flat where you live?

Jer and Dave:
I'll gather more pics. It's been too cold to ride or go to the garage except for very short periods. We're in Kingman, AZ, and the terrain is mixed here with hills, mountains, and flatlands. 12 miles away one can ascend to the peak of the Hualapai Mountains (Wallapai) and that gives a bike a good workout, or one can just cruise out to California using the Old Route 66 and it's fairly level except for one "short" pass.
Yes, that is paint on the garage floor. On the walls to test the "fan" and other places. My domain. Separate building. No complaining allowed by wife permitted or I boycott other work on the house.

Sidecar attachment is a combination of direct bolt to brake plate combined with adjustment strut in the front. In the back, angle iron with welded sleeves and replaced the pivot bolt with metric all thread and locked down with double nuts. (Maybe tack weld it later to "keep my nuts from falling off.") Adjustment strut under seat at junction with a welded plate inside frame. Looks a little funky but is very stable - overdone, in fact - and allows the free movement of the swingarm.

The area around the brake-foot looks extremely congested- is it still a functional control?
(A gobsmacking number of pie-cuts making up that exhaust- unrelated to the question, but, just WOW! -a lot of TIG time!)

Looks like flexible exhaust pipe to me.
Please show more on the frame connections.
Not for me... for a friend.

Versy:
This is a 5 year old thread........Warrenhill has not been on the website since 2016.
I doubt you or Mavigogun will get a response.
