Sidecar Racing

[sidecar bob]

Pre 89 sidecar with 1135 power soon Bob?

Na, spare heavy duty crank & rods, plus big clutch basket for Jays bike, all for 1/3 the cost of a crank, & Drew gets a regoed rolling chassis free.
Im not personally interested in making a pre '89 outfit at this stage. Believe me when I say I have plenty of other balls in the air at the moment.

I always wondered what the faint knocking noise was when Gordy walked by....I bet he has dents on the inside of his knees as well.

Here are the details of the sidecar.

Tubular steel frame chassis, copy of an Ireson outfit, Warrick said it cost some guy heaps just to import the plans. Lightweight Halliday race wheels, Carrera alloy adjustable shocks, JFZ calipers all round (2 x pots on the front, 2 pot side and rear).
1988 kawasaki ZX10R engine, Carillo rods, forged hi compression pistons, Mega cycle cams, Ported and flowed head, heavy duty clutch, Undercut gearbox, 39mm Flatslide Carbs, Modified sump specifically for sidecar use. this is the engine Andy Scrivener won 4 NZ titles with.

Also has –
Quick turn throttle
Safety lanyard
Rev counter
Daytona Digital temperature gauge with clock.

Some of the things I have done while rebuilding it in the last 8 months are –

Modified chassis to clear carbs and full inspection and weld.
New side stub axle.
Modified sump.
Mounting tabs on fuel tank.
New fuel system.
All new bearings.
All new nuts and bolts.
All new aluminium floor.
All new plywood and Vinyl Deck.
Sandblast and paint chassis.
Fix fiberglass fairings.
New Battery.
New Wiring loom.
Fairing paint.
Wheel and engine paint.
New front brake disc.
All new tyres.
Brakes rekitted.
New start button and kill switch.
New brake lines.
Mounted oilcooler.
Modified passenger handles.
New brake pedal and gear change setup.

Plus heaps of stuff I have probably forgotten, I have spent hours rebuilding this outfit and it is basically brand new, hence why it has just been MNZ certified and tagged 2 months ago as a new build.

This list of spares it comes with is huge and includes –
2 x engines (Sidecar modified sumps and oil return lines etc)
a set of standard carbs
fairing seat mould
3 x tyres 2 slicks and a wet I think
1 x brandnew front brake disc
custom alloy airbox
full set of used but still good bearings
4 or 5 sets of carb jets
brake calipers
clutch slave cylinder newly rebuilt
clutch master cylinder
brake master cylinder
full gasket set
brake pads
A full clutch set which looks to be an aftermarket slipper clutch.
A set of front springs.
Various shims, valves, bearings etc.
+ heaps more
There are enough spares to keep this sidecar going forever.

I would post pictures, but i have so many infractions it takes me 45mins just to turn my computer on.

I forgot the new steering dampner.

[Henk]

The bike is a lightly crashed GSX1135ef which I only bought for the motor.
Drew is taking the rest if he can get it to the have a go day for me.
Theres a thought, youre not bringing an empty van to the have a goat day to get as many free rides as you want this weekend are you? Truck racing too!!

Afraid not. Got other plans for the weekend.

Sidecars (and Buckets) are for the real men, then you have the classes for the lesser guys like Superbikes, 600, and whatever they're calling the other classes this season
