I built this sidecar rig in 1993 and in the next 8 years it went through a few different looks until it is what you see in the pictures. It sat from 2000 until March of this year when I decided to ride it again. I wanted it to look good and be even better in the dirt. I made a new front swing arm, changed the sidecar suspension, lengthened the sidecar body for more storage space and room for two, repainted the tank and sidecar, 3 new tires, rebuilt the top end of the motor, replaced the clutch disc, and the list for maintenance items is very long. In April took a 2400 mile trip trouble free with lots of fun in the dirt. Read all of the info below and look at the pictures closely. There has been a lot done for comfort and reliability. I have been building and restoring BMW motorcycles and doing metal fabrication and design for 25 years.
