really good job, watching with interest
So, if you haven't ridden an outfit before be careful what you do with the throttle and brakes in corners .
Looking good; you've put an awful lot of work into this outfit
. Maybe one day.
Yours looks a great job. Bit technical setting it all up by the looks.

Thankyou, didn't think anyone was really interested hence why I didn't post much. I captured most of the build on a private Facebook group.
Though I am going to have to put stiffer springs in the shocks it's like riding a seesaw.
.
Give Hagon a call, they advise many on the right spring for outfits.
Nah, I've been watching too I've had outfits on and off all my biking life (the blue Guzzi on p1 was mine for a while).
Have you copied an existing mounting system or done it off your own back? The reason I ask, and I'll admit I'm not au fait with mounting onto a GS, is that the front upper strut behind the cylinder doesn't look like it'll provide much support given the angle you've had to mount it?
Have you read Fanum's detailed thread on here about building a GS based outfit? If not have a search, there's loads of info there.

HI Andy,
The shock thats on the chair at the moment is quite stiff as its intended to be a touring chair and carry quite a bit which for now as my daughter is only small her weight plus luggage might still be a bit light.
The rig struggles a bit with left turns so I suspect it is too hard....and is not allowing the bike to lean onto the side car and tilt into the bend. On right handers its really solid and tracks really well I feel like I could really gas it.
The steering wobble is fairly minimal actually and its solid at speed. I just needed to set the bike up so that it leans into the sidecar when unladen so that when its loaded its slightly leaning out and it handles much better as a result.
