Sidecars?

**seymour14** · 15th November 2012, 17:48

Can't get there till 1, got me a deflector piston to machine for the CE, but will see if I can do a seat as well, leave it to me one way or the other.

What colour are we painting the Water cooled beastie? Original canary yellow

, or GPR team colours?

Your worried, i've got a sidecar with twice as much weight as everyone else and a rider who likes pies and coke. I hope the races are going to be handicapped.

Looks cool crazy man, wouldn't mind watercooling a tf motor for mine. Anybody want a cheap watercooled mb100, just needs an ignition system that works.

TF motor out of an old bucket bike i brought, motor seems to run okay been thrashing it round my church carpark for the last few months and haven't been able to kill it yet so we'll see what it goes like in sidecar next weekend. Think it's running a 125 barrel on a100 bottom end, also got all of Gazzza's old tf motors from his sidecar so have plenty of spares. Honda motor fried cdi and being a headache finding another, wanted to get the sidecar going so did a repower.

I reckon it would be rude not to, but may have to scale down a touch as may be a little over engineered for 20hp

They'll take off Crazyman! Got you a new seat made today, not pretty, and you may have to get arse reconstruction surgery after you sit on it, but it should see us out this coming weekend!

I'm playing with the idea of using leftover bits of FXR frame to build a short bike sometime (later) in the new year. Might be a bit too short and a bit tall at the front though.

Well Crazy man; there's a CBR250 frame sitting under the house that no one ever wanted; why not cut that up and make something special...
