Yeah I'm finding bits and bobs but I'm always hesitant about some of the "expert" work shown on 't Interweb  ;)  The owners group looks like a good place to watch too  :)
That's an interesting conversion in the link, it's certainly not *too* difficult looking at the work involved. Do you have the link for your friends article?  :)

Wonder if anyone local has one I can blag a go on, hmmmm  ;D

Oh and everyone cross your fingers at 1030 Friday when the xbr goes for mot!  :o

Not quite what you are looking for and missing some paperwork, but perhaps one that'll keep your hopes up?

Plenty time and plenty opportunity yet  ;)

2k for no paperwork (or proof of ownership!), no mot, no tax an unknown engine fitted by an unknown mechanic.....   :o he's keen!
I'd want a *long* good look at something like that before buying from ebay!

Thanks for pointing it out tho  :)

XBR just passed it's mot so the XBR outfit section of the club is up by another roadworthy* one  ;D

*ok perhaps "road legal" is a better description!  :D

Ben Hur rides again! ;D

Congratulations. Is the windcheating apparatus still operational?

Weekend looks set fair.

Regards, Bill.

Weekend looks good  :) and the chair may have a job on sunday because swmbo has the car away and I might be going diving at Fifeness if the weather holds!  :o  :D

The Top part of the fairing is indeed still on the bike, although I need to sort out a crack from my little chariot incident the other year  :-[ I havent fitted the lowers because, like GC, I'm reluctant to chop them up to get them over the sidecar mounting tubes  :-\

Off tomorrow to buy a bigger bag of sand  ;) the hardened old charioteers may scoff but this chair is so light that it will pop in the air with no real provocation at all and it means I have the choice of lairy or slow on normal roundabouts ::) still a laugh though once you get over the initial horrors  ;D

I think I may have worked out why though.... this one came off an MZ250 iirc (sure Steffan will correct me if I'm wrong!) and yet when I look at the manufacturers website they are clearly selling them (at vast prices!  :o) as scooter chairs, 55kg huh? Explains why the XBR goes well with it! http://www.watsonian-squire.com/pv1sidecar.htm
