For the past couple of years a friend and I have been building a post classic sidecar using an XS 650.
We really had no idea how to go about this but have had fantastic support from the local sidecar guys who have been extremely helpful.
Ideally we would have used 10 x 5 inch rims but we had a couple of 16 inch rear mag wheels on hand so they were refurbished and put to use for the front and back wheels. The wheel for the front was modified to carry another disc. The platform wheel is off a mini using a trailer stub axel.
We also had some XS discs and callipers which were also refurbished. A standard XS swing arm was shortened and braced and some new bushes made.
Laying it out on the table this is roughly where we were, next to get some idea of how to proceed we got some electrical conduit and started bending.
