yes is fine with a sidecar, I'm trying to figure out how I could get my own motorcycle car tires

Are those BMW hubs you bolted into wheels you cut the centers out of?
I dig that swingarm and the LL too.

I've seen this rig elsewhere on the net. The couple who bought it are on a RTW or something?

Only the rear wheel is a heavily modified BMW hub. I originally sold it to someone that lived in Arizona. He took it up to a sidecar training in Oregon/Washington and resold it to whitham_wannabe here on ADV.

I'm impressed.
I like the stages of your build. Good pix = better understanding

Noticed a gas cap size object on the top of one of the sidecars. There isn't a fuel baldder inside the front section of the car?!

BOXER METAL

Thanks

If it's the black sidecar then that is a GPS/XM Radio antenna.

I like the greeen finish- is it a standard OD green, or does it have a bit of a shine?

Metallic or a sold?

I have been contemplating doing something with an OD green with a flat finished clear over it, or not.

It is a shiny solid color my wife picked out. I want to say it was PPG mango Green.

Unstable Rider · 07-15-2012, 09:54 AM

I like the color-- and am familiar with PPG products, thanks!

Excellent - love seeing the pictures of the birth of the beast!

Sadly we're not on a RTW trip, wish we were. We did just got back from a weekend away in the Cascades, mostly on forestry backroads, some of them nice and rough, and she sailed through everything splendidly.

Can't tell you how happy I am to have this thing in the garage.

Very cool. I have admired that outfit for quite a while. Thanks for sharing.

bmweuro · 07-16-2012, 05:24 PM

Thanks Claude. That means a lot hearing this from you. Great water crossing picture.

MightyChosen1 · 07-17-2012, 07:23 AM

I like that a lot but it needs a few more lights.

I see you are running a car alternator. How many amps is it rated for ? I alway wanted to do the conversion but there has to be a point where it robs too much power from the engine .
