I understand, Dana. And I agree it would be hard to retrofit one without losing ground clearance.

I have less than $2,000.00 in the whole sidecar including the subframe from Dauntless and it is just not worth it to me to rebuild the whole thing just to add something that I do not need. My GS rig is like my Ural it is akin to putting makeup and a prom dress on a pig, it may look pretty but in the end it is still a pig.

Now that nice HP rig is another story.....

LOL.... Dana gotta admit you made me laugh out loud with that post. The cool thing is that you have put a lot of miles on your outfit and a lot of smiles were made along the way. THAT is what sidecars are all about.

Good picture that I haven't see in quite a while Dana. Brings back alot of memories of a lot of great folks. Jim Dodson is missed but is in a better place. Hack'd Magazine is surely missed although Chris and Gary are doing well now.They were married this year. .

Yep to all of that Claude.

Gary was at the shop here this summer. He did pickup duties with his sidecar outfit on the cannonball run again.
