FOR SALE - Drew and Alan's sidecar build

[Drew]

Anyway.

There was a lot of positives from the day. The chair handles much better with the longer swinging arm and new shock. Takes a lot more effort to get the chair wheel off the ground now, hopefully that means there's more speed in the lefts as well as the new grip on rights.

The brakes work better now, we just need to adjust lever ratio to get a bit more braking power.

Fuk off and get to work then

Manfeild.
Just gets too hot. The industrial chain we dummied on there and hadn't changed lasted three laps. We chucked a decent chain on it but it still got real warm, so to stay safe we'll go back to the original system and try to position an idler to keep the length right when the suspension compresses.

Told ya to have a look at the ATK system of idlers - it works on long travel dirt suspension so it should have an easier time on your short travel setup.

Edit - why bother with a tensioner ? Warwick's posted pics of 600's with enormous chain runs where the arm is only about half the span of the chain...i'm assuming the suspension only has minimal movement, say 1 - 1 1/2 inches. might not be a problem at all.

We've got no tensioner at the moment, and it would be fine. But without the primary chain the front sprocket is too high compared to the swingarm pivot. Like, two inches too high. It's one of the many draw backs of a huge touring bike lump.

Do like the busa....
Run fuck all rear suspension.
Your welcome.

Damn phone....

That's kinda not the best solution.

We thought about an oil bath for the primary chain, but there's that pesky issue of 100% containment.

After Wanganui, we're gonna move the swingarm pivot or find a Gixxer thou to drop in it I reckon.

Lol, it seems you are more in it for the engineering now!

Dude, just race it for a year and have some well earned fun......

Once a common creature in this environment the speckled peaking shortbike welder is now almost extinct, due to the being picked off by the gayfag long bike buyer. now only a few hardy old males remain.

and what diod the willys and gordon skiltons of this world say when you could no longer unbolt ya deck and race ya bike in a solo class as well???

The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see a shortbike, except in a picture book?

The only way to save a shorty is to save the environment in which it lives, because there's a mutual dependency between it and multitudes of other species of both racers and spectators alike for which entertainment prevails.

Now that will get Drew spanking his monkey......
I'm picking he'll ponder on that for a few hours and go "Right, now we make a new sump...."

I know!!!!

...and what did they think of racers having to be in bed by 8:30 the night before a race.....?
Absolutely shocking state of affairs.....
