Another rainy afternoon and I do hate welding in the rain with no roof at the corner metal shop but I did manage to do the front upper mount and 1 hack frame mount. /5 /6 /7 mount kit as per 2003 sidecar manual page 60. but with a minor twist NO BALLS. Tomorrow it's work so no building until the weekend now.

Next to build is the bike's lower mount assembly, there's the twist, the wife says the dog has to have a helmet and doggles before she can go again (spoil sport). She was OK with building a kayak in the living room but the dog needs doggles.

The utility body won't arrive for 3 weeks we live in the north and we really pay freight. 17.00 CDN for mount clamps for the front upper and lower mounts and 1 spare for the tool kit.

Total now stands at 288.99 CDN
+20.00 CDN misc. metal
total update 308.99

About a year ago I sent a friend a kijiji listing for a 400 CDN brand new unassembled wild duck HACK well he came up last night with it mounted on his 1150 GSA BMW. I painted the car tub to mach his bike last week (looks real good in the dark) a coat of MUD should get me off the hook on that one. The leading link suspension left me short with every crack giving a jolt to the frame, Mine is trailing link should have a little better ride on pavement cracks.
