Well after a great season of riding this thing, I am starting my next project. That project is building a sidecar. I have built one in the past(rigid mount). This one will have a flex mounting system, allowing the bike to lean. I have seen many nice sidecar builds posted. I will be going to a larger sprocket due to the load added to my 50cc engine.
It will be a quick disconnect mounting for my everyday riding.

Well I have started the side car for this bike. It has two removable brackets that hinge the side car. The rear attachment point is threaded to allow adjustment for toe-in toe-out.

The sidecar frame is made of 3/4 EMT. All joints are welded and reinforced.
The axle tube is 1in square tube. The axle itself is 1 in. steel turned down to 3/4 with bearing races to match the wheel. I will start a new thread for this project called SIDECAR BUILD PROJECT.

Took the rolling chassis out for a test run. I put two cement blocks on it for a load(60 lbs.).
It handled fine(much to my supprise). Hardest thing is remembering to leave space on the right for the sidecar. Guess that I should have put the car on the left side!
I now have made fullsize mock-up of the cart and will soon start on it.

As it has a quick mount setup, I will also put a bracket on my 51 Roadmaster so that I can use it for both bikes.
