I'm curious about your seat. I just went on a 200km straight trip with my stock 250L seat and it truly kills. What kind of seat is that and how comfortable is it with long rides?
How did you make the front end of your sidecar? I am thinking of taking a trailer and putting a 55 gal. plastic drum on it to use as a trailer for my dogs. I have ridden sidecars for years and they do have characteristics for driving them that can easily confuse a motorcyclist or electric bike operator. You really have to learn to lean when making turns to the right. My Ural Troyka had a reverse, and you really need to know what you're doing when backing one up. I made a DIY pickle boat with a plastic oil drum in the past and they are strong, but lighter in weight than the metal drums. What did you use to do up the rims around the opening to the sidecar? Metal conduit? Thanks for posting this video. Put a dog into the hack and you will win a trophy all the time, even against expensive bikes, as the crowds always love a dog in a sidecar. ;-)
I think you're confusing your terms. A springer front is completely different from a leading link. People put a leading link front end on because you need to change the rake and trail when you have a sidecar period you can get away with stock forks, but it won't handle very well.
@@KorysRides am about to build one of these but ive heard that under different loads the toe-in varies, so im thinking on making a whole ajustable swing arm
@@freemaysin5088 not really. Needs to be able to go high speed, and easily replaceable for $20 or less. Parts available everywhere. No need for caps, I go for function over form
Awesome!
I'm very impressed... And hats off to your workforce, its good to see them starting young 👍😂🏴
If you use milk jugs filled with water for weight counterbalance it's really easy. To cut down on the side car displacement
I ended up using some softener salt bags, but eventually sold the sidecar. Kids didn't like it anymore and I wanted my dirt bike to go off-road again
Can you share the diagram or blueprints, of the sidecar?
I didn't ever make any. I just made it up as I went along.

Matthew Morgan seat concepts. I live it. Did a 500 mile day and felt ok after. Way wider and more comfortable. I did a review of it a while back
How’s the windshield holding up? Looks like it would cause a good deal of drag. And is that a boat seat in the tub? Considering options for my rig.
I haven't had the sidecar for years. Yes, boat seat.
just need a camera mount for the side car and you will be all set.

I have a build playlist
Curious if you know why so many people put a springer fork up front..I want something that can handle the bumps!

Could i build something like this for my 750 virago
is that a crf 250 or a 450? i'm thinking about getting a 250 myself
250, but has a 305 big bore kit
Kory's Rides appreciate the reply. ✊🏽 salute
How did you fixed the alaigment?
Link arms have threaded eyelets in the ends. Moved them in and out until it worked.

@@zoticrr9638 camber changes. But yeah, adjustable would be good
can get some black/chrome caps to go over those bolts for classssssss =p
and could either a small atv or smaller bike tire be better for over there?
