I would think it mite handle a small chair OK.

Not sure mate.Has it got good midrange torque?.Also how low is first gear.You don't want to be revving it all the time.

Something along those lines Andrew, but no passenger capacity. Wedge shaped at the front, and the same width all the way through.

Hey Andrew2,
In your first pic, could you kindly tell my what make that small black fairing is? Looking for something similar, and have not seen anything like it in these parts...

I don't have a clue but that's Chris McArdle's ("Chris McArdle" on this site) outfit behind it and I'm pretty sure he would know.Unfortunately he's had an accident while touring N.Z. and is in hospital at the moment.

Just looked on the Transport SA site, and overall width in SA is 1.85mtrs
for a sidecar rig.

So, sounds like that is a universal width.

Do a search in Yahoo, type in sidecars, and it comes up on the 1st page. pdf file.

Universal width? Did a check for the Netherlands. Length 4.00 m; hight 2.00 m; width 2.00 m. It otherwise sure would be a problem for many EZS and EML sidecar-rigs.

Sidecar-rigs before 1995 may even have a width up to 2.55 m. Since the change in 1995 was brought in because of European law, I assume it's for all European countries the same.

If I worked for the RTA or the Police, you'd be reading a "bluey" notice wondering how to take 200 mm off your outfit! But since you've proven yourself to be such a "dickhead" one of the RTA or Police persons on this board will probably send you a "bluey" anyway. You did post your rego no. while boasting how your outfit was overwidth. Fools......? And don't forget the business you'll destroy you moron! You're a classic example of Darwinian theory! Sidecars existed for decades without any interference in Australia until idiots like you turned up.
