Neval / Ural outfit project invasion

[Magwa]

Still progressing
I wasn't sure an ugly bike could take the insult of Matt black legshields........
But
Its sort of cool ( as the kids say!)
So a quick spray with Matt paint and 20mins to fit
In now sorting the pitiful front brake

 

[Magwa]

Getting there:-
Sorting the tyres out
Blooming sidecar tyres are not easy to change without nipping the new innertubes !
Just the front brake to resolve and it will be ready for MOT
I've got to Retrim the sidecar seat. & source some more militaria. ( bullet hole transfers definitely!)

Progress on the outfit

Love the shooting stick machine gun;

 

[Magwa]

Bullet hole decals and Ukraine flag !

 

[Magwa]

Headlamp grill fitted ( Matt black over the old chrome) front plates completed. Still more tinkering to get on with

 

[Magwa]

And test ridden
I'm not sure I actually like riding an outfit !

Perseverance will pay off, once you get the hang of it, it really is great fun.

At least 20 KG of gravel in its bag set on the "Boot" floor of sidecar

It really makes it MUCh nicer when you feel as if the chair will stay there When you do a right turn

Also it is worth contacting F2 motorcycles and get the tow in, sidecar wheel lead and the bike lean angle and check them

It really can change the ride when everything is set up well

 

[Magwa]

I've actually ordered a full service kit for the outfit from F2 motorcycles

At least 20 KG of gravel in its bag set on the "Boot" floor of sidecar

It really makes it MUCh nicer when you feel as if the chair will stay there When you do a LEFT turn

Fixed it now !

 

[OnHellas]

Fixed it now !

I did wonder, thought maybe you’d ridden/driven a left hooker

 

[DrFarkoff]

I did wonder, thought maybe you’d ridden/driven a left hooker

Ahem I can neither confirm nor deny that statement !!

Today's update
Interior upholstery completed

 

[L2RKE]

You don't hang about do you. Nice work

Well , I've got to get onto that Austin J40 ( in the background)
That will devour the Pension £
The Neval only needs a service
Some black and white BMW badges
Sorting the Pi** poor front brake
Then MOT time
Suzi is making a machine badge to a fix where the orange reflector used to be ( infront of the Jerry can)
She's painting it as I write this !
It's apt considering the registration number

 

[Magwa]

And done
I present the " Mad Hatter" in line with its "HAT" registration number

[Magwa]

If I knew where it was ( I've no idea) I'll consider it
My co pilots ready in the machine gun chair !
Edit
I've just looked up the Dragon Rally.
Er , alas not for me and Mrs M
Warm, no hyperthermic camping for me. Sorry I'm stiff enough normally. But February in winter Welsh weather is definitely not for me

Final bit of the trim from Fast Boys Ltd., Leicester. ( Russian bike specialist) The sidecar tonneau cover at £40 plus p&p
Well pleased with that
