The Return....................Fingertight Sidecar MkII

[Drew]

So finished off the last few bits for the front end and bolted it all together.

Must say I am now "almost willing to accept defeat" on this front end design. On top of the concerns with the location of the pivot, stability under brakes, etc. there is a significant amount of play that in the whole thing that i am not happy with.



Got an FXR frame and steering head here in the shed which I think will form the basis of a more conventional front end design.

Yea I know. My "almost willing to accept defeat" is really "this is never going to be safe or perform the way I imagined, so I am going to sulk for a day or two while I figure out what I am going to do".

All ready had the front fall off one. No intention to make a habit of it.

Fitting a steering hub in the centre of a kart wheel would be near impossible. You can use a uni and have the brake rotor out side, but it's heavy and there wouldn't be any real gain if you're not having suspension.
