Sidecars?

[cotswold]

A bit of progress on the outfit today, the front wheel was under the chassis and was not supposed to be so the whole front end was removed. Steering stem straightened and shortened, wheel spindle straightened and reassembled.
The bike had been sat in a yard for nine months and we had no key, we took the ignition switch apart and switched it on, pressed the electric leg and off she went, sounds sweet but very quiet so will be getting a new exhaust system that weighs about 20 kg less.
The chair design was drawn up and we know how and where to attach it and we found a suitable wheel.
We are going for a world speed record in outfit building and it may even be ready for the next round, if it's not it will be delayed due to my partner in crime taking a months OE in europe.

Chair on the left or right ..............................?

Depends what way the track goes that you'll be racing on

Mount welly swings both ways but I suppose if we play away we need to put it on the left ?

[Gazzza]

Well we run on the left, good for going clockwise but its up to you really. Great to hear we will have another rig soon.

[Kickaha]

I'd put it on whatever side would see the swinger over the back of the bike for the majority of the corners rather than off the side

[nodrog:Me]

I have an adult sized shortbike forsale if any of you guys want to stop playing with toys. Cheap too. PM me if you want details.

[Henk]

I'd stick it on the left, but only because all the other rigs are set up that way.

me thinks we need a rule change 250 four strokes 150 two strokes make it more fun

I am having trouble pulling more than 31 rwhp (35 ish crank) reliably from my 125cc air cooled with the 24mm carb restriction.

So 150cc 2-Stroke water cooled, unlimited carb, unrestricted after market parts and whatever fuel you can get from the pumps at the petrol station and/or Av gas.

I think I could break 40 at the rear wheel, I am all for it ......

250 4 cylinder 4t and 250 twin 2t ?

Too late for that as we have a small foul stroke diesel pig being built.

31 hp thats sick lol what a number and a half !seen you have to pull 2 people around , a good stock rg has 29 hp so some work with that would go real good. think the sound of a 250 -4 in a small looking Lcr would be neat , it may bring in more bigger sidecar racring into the class

Yes a small replica of the bigger rigs, that would be great.

The short 1000cc bike that we borrowed off the Lawrences was about the same size as our bucket rig. Lots faster though.

Got one, just have to get it going right. An old rd250 aircooled motor in it would be cool, plenty of room to fit it, and it use to run well in my old superkart.

Thought that thing started life as a bucket anyway? or was it a 400 2 stroke? Meh probably not that important
