    Led-Sled Sidecar Project

    You know when you have one of those small little victory’s in life? Well I just had one tonight!! :D I finally welded on the bracket for the third wheel and took her for a spin....Wow! She rides like a dream! Just out of curiosity I set the sidecar body on the frame to see how it would ride...

    Getting closer! Here is the frame that will hold the sidecar body minus the third wheel. Looks and feels strong but I did have a moment of oh...oh... :shock: After tacking all of the bars together I stepped on the front to see what would happen and it almost hit the floor! Like a knuckle head...

    Hey GL, Yes!! Please shoot me over some pic’s the next time you see him. That would be really cool! You are exactly right on the wheel placement and from what I have read an outward lean indeed helps the ride along with a slight toe-in of the outer wheel. Almost sounds like nascar (add a...

    Led-Sled Sidecar Project

    Thanks, Yep...fiberglass is no fun!! The nose of the sidecar touching the ground Is also no fun!! I will be addressing that issue soon. I’ve worked on the bar clamps by surfacing both inner sides so that they will be nice and tight on the lower rear however I had to weld a bushing to the...

    Yep! After searching for what seemed to be forever I found these but if they came out with A 26” mag with a disc brake option I would switch today! Hint..Hint.. :D Sorry that I didn’t respond last night but I ran out of time. If you have been following this build you will have seen at the...
