Sidecar Talk / Re: How to adappt the front forks.
« Last Post by zimmemr on Today at 01:41:33 pm »I'd mount and ride the sidecar before worrying about modifying the front fork. Over the years I've owned several rigs and built a few for others. In my experience, a light bike, with a light sidecar normally works just fine with stock geometry. I would recommend installing stiffer fork springs, wider handlebars and a steering damper, and of course lowering the gearing. You may also want to invest in stiffer rear springs.
FWIW my T140 Triumph with it's Watsonian Palma chair would positively smoke my buddy's BMW R60/2 Steib combination. But when another riding buddy bought a factory-built HD hack, he put us both on the trailer.
