I've always liked the sidecar bikes, but of course I like the bobber better :-D And together I don't think they are a good looking combo. Maybe I'll make a "bobber" sidecar.. interesting thought.
Chopper/Bobber sidecar? Ya it might be cool Do it Jimmy, you won't regret it unless you don't like attention, because people will stop you everywhere to ask about your bike I would love to see someone on here do a xs bobber/sidecar! Anyone else?I've always liked the sidecar bikes, but of course I like the bobber better :-D And together I don't think they are a good looking combo.

12.6 is cold but is'nt as bad as it sounds with snow suit on and thermals. Just like snowmobiling you just have to dress for it Glad you like my bike in avitar, it took me a week just to do bodywork on tank and to paint it now I leave that to someone else here are a few shots...Wow, I don't know about riding in 12.6 degree weather. About the lowest I've gone out in was 28 and that was plenty frigid. I like many other posters hope alot of the good information from the old site makes it to this one. Many of you really helped me out with headlight/electrical issues, air box/carb issues, and fuel delivery. Gordon, the bike you have as your Avatar is one of the coolest setups I have seen.
Hi Roy, Sounds like it would stop on a dime and give you nine cents change The big thing I found with setup is the change of weight in the sidecar loaded compared to empty, you have to find the right comprimize between the two. I would imagine the easiest setup would be hardtail bike and chair, then spring the body on the sidecar frame like old Harleys and suchScott;
what you think about fzr wheels, hardtailed bobber, and homemade car like on the sporty? Big 190 rear tire, and car tire, with 130 front? all 17". maybe homemade forks??? That would give 8 pistons on huge rotors up front and 4 pistons on sensable sized rotors in the back. Dont know how much truith there is to it but have been told that hardtails are easier to dial in.
Hi xsJohn, good to see you here we need all the vets from the old site that know there stuff for those of you who don't know xsJohn when he talks motors you should listenNo doubt in my mind that you have the custom thing down to a tee..........xsjohn
