    Impressive outfit. I like the way you still use the trad terms like Top Box and Panniers, not back box and side cases like they do these days. Regards from the UK

    I've seen your other vids.. awesome and amazing! Great job! Thanks for the walk around. I'm curious, what kind of gas mileage you get now?

    I watched all of Slades UA-cam videos and fell in love with the Australian outback rigs so I built one

    I love this mate, what an Awesome setup: do you have any plans made up for all this? I'm Australian and would like to have something exactly the same for over here.

      I'm no Engineer but with plans and probably some guidence i could make something close- and i'm interested in your front shock set up and is progressive springs just as good, if not could you explain why? Thanks

    If I keep it under 4,000 rpms ( back roads) I get right at 40mpg.
    Over 4,000 rpms ( freeway) I get exactly 35mpg

    No plans,every time I build one of these I basically lock my self in my garage with a bunch of steel and a welder and I emerge about a month later with a new rig !!😉😉😉

      I was just thinking of a very similar concept, except with the sidecar wheel connected to an electric motor for off road assistance.. would that take much more effort to implement?

      I played around with that idea awhile back.It name to complicated to match the electric motors throttle with the bikes engine.

    Noob question, why change the front forks to that set up?

      It’s to reduce the trail and make it steer much easier
