FOR SALE - Drew and Alan's sidecar build

[Edbear]

Aye for sure, the chassis looked straight as a die.

How're you getting on with the brakes now? They seemed to work quite well in the video...

[Drew]

Brakes are great now. Torque arm sussed the chatter out and we can brake into a turn much further.

Excellent progress last night.

Al has been working tirelessly on the thing every waking moment, but last night we both got stuck in. The new bars are mounted, and look like they came off a Harley fat boy. Throttle cables and new twist grip got fitted up by genuine good bastard Bryce from buckets and bits. Pete wired it up so we could do away with having two switch blocks, since the new twist grip already had one and a starter button.

While that was happening, I was remaking the clamp for the chain adjuster so we don't have to leave the line like old women without flicking the chain again. Al fixed the gear selector linkages and stuff, at the same time as mounting the sort of repaired chair wheel cover, amongst other things.

There's not a heap left to do today before we head to the track tonight.

Pic looks like you had Bata Bullets on in your crash. Max style points there.....

Good stuff! If you are able to get back on track with significant improvements it is a great outcome! Hope the wrist and hand are also improved?

It's ALIVE again. Al has been spending every waking moment working on the old girl, champ that he is.

Be rocking it street fighter styles this round, no time to fit the front fairings with the revised bars...or any idea if the revision is a step in the right direction for that matter.

Panic moment when we went to start it tonight for the first time. Spinning the starter motor backwards as the chair rolled back after Burt got us, caused the insides of the starter to go Chernobyl. But Gixxer to the rescue, and an old 1100 one fits. Massive thanks to Bryce at 'Buckets 'n' bits' for hooking us up. Legend that man!

See those of you coming this weekend, at Manfeild for round two of the Suzuki series.

Yes Bryce is a star. Here's the link to his TradeMe business page. Have a look at his parts.
