What is the distance of the sidecar tire from the center of the bike on the cozy/RE set up? Just curious, Haven't gotten to the chassis /frame build yet. Appreciate the info so thanks ahead of time . Gerry

Check here ====> LINKY (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=468196)
I will go out and measure mine, but I know the slip joint do allow an inch or two of adjustment on the width..

Excellent linky there Garbone . Thank you! Some good info .
Since this one will be a 2/3 leaner to start with I will be going for the zero-scrub. Was good to confirm that on your link. Combined with the chair being narrow/kinda short, with the seat center between the leading edge of the rear rims and the swing arm pivot points will provide about 1 square foot of optimal area for load (butt). Does make for a small area for CG so very minimal cargo will be able to stow in the nose. It's mainly a puppy/grand kid chair anyhow.
pic added of basic design though not to scale

Mine measures 46.5" from and to center if tires. It could be set up about 1" less or a few inches more. My Cozy Euro is fitted with mounts of my own design. I would never use the monstrosities that CMW sells as a G5 adapter. It would totally block the kickstarter and would be very weak and bound to crack in a short time. All in all a very poor design.

This is great. Was thinking 42 inches max for mine...skinny car. Can't wait till I get to fiddle with the geometry of the actual parts some more to see how narrow I can get it all with the needed clearances. Thanks GA-DK

Ended up at 44 inches on build. Thanks for the info guys. Gerry
