I've been looking everywhere for inspiration for a new sidecar that I want to build and your design totally nailed it! I want to build an upgrade to my current sidecar (an old russian sidecar that is poorly fitted to my BSA A10) so that my dog can travel in relative comfort in all weather. The only thing that I am having difficulty with is selecting a suitable wheel system (swingarm, suspension, etc) for the sidecar that is in keeping with the age of the motorcycle i.e. 1950 = spoked wheel!. Nonetheless, the information and pictures that you have provided has been priceless! Many thanks and keep on riding ;)Cai Owainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15864439794026197721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309711851944066845.post-8381398409548722752018-05-15T14:32:45.244+03:002018-05-15T14:32:45.244+03:00Howdy, taking dogs with is a different kind of tra...Howdy, taking dogs with is a different kind of travel and to me much more rewarding :) Anytime again with the dogs.<br /><br />Plenty of questions, so let me tackle them one by one:<br />Would you choose the same bike and sidecar again??<br />No, the BMW is not made for such heavy roads. I assume no off-the-shelf bike is (even solo off-road bikes disintegrated on those roads). So problem areas with BMW: paralever (assume full final drive overhaul/replacement after 60tkm), telelever: not made for the load (built a custom one). BMW HES, gearbox, starter motor were other trouble makers. <br /><br />Sidecar and boat were great, no issues.<br /><br />Human & dogs. Of course the passenger could sit behind you and the dogs in the sidecar. Passenger could sit in a trailer, dogs in the sidecar ;) or then make the boat longer. I had before a 1,5person boat in which a kid could sit in the sidecar behind the adult. Anyway, you will need to travel light or with a trailer (=> reliabilty?)<br /><br />I prefer shaft over chain, but no paralever. See construction of Ural, old BMWs, Honda?, Guzzi?<br /><br />I hope this helps :)<br /><br />Send some pics of what you did <br /><br />Cheers<br />Wolfi<br />Sauerkraut & Tofuwursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538531960984048821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309711851944066845.post-82469363688196664622018-05-15T14:09:05.226+03:002018-05-15T14:09:05.226+03:00Hello.

Would you choose the same bike and sidecar again??<br />I would enjoy having a human passenger as well as canine ones. So could not modify the sidecar to the same degree as yourself.<br />Does the shaft drive make life easier for you as a shaft/bearings etc are quite difficult to replace when they go wrong compared to a chain. <br />What are your thoughts.<br />Thank you.<br />Kind regards Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511349708728180085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309711851944066845.post-72836118271388954502016-01-29T16:09:08.681+02:002016-01-29T16:09:08.681+02:00Please ask if you have further questions, now afte...Please ask if you have further questions, now after riding for 1000+days and crossing Latin America I have a few specific ideas how to do things different.
