That looks good. I'm not in the market for one but the one question I keep meaning to ask is why does the front suspension need to be altered when a sidecar is fitted? Is it a weight thing? And is it still rideable with that suspension without the sidecar?

Leading link forks make steering lighter and aids better tracking on the road ( little bit like a shopping trolley)

Thanks,
It's like power steering for the bike - also reduces tyre wear l am told.

But can you ride it solo like that or would it wobble about too much?

Ask me in a month or so. I had a sidecar put on a V85tt a few months ago. The steering was very heavy and I’ve opted for leading link forks. They’ve been made by Wasp and are being fitted by Watsonian. It’s taken a while. My only concern is that it makes the steering so much lighter that it’s too easy to get the chair airborne on the left turns.

Pictures please…in another thread of course.
Sorry for the interruption, carry on selling.

There's something wrong with your C90 ad. Can only comment by 'conversation'?? Probably why you've had no responses

Free bump and an update on leading links forks with not great pictures. The new forks on the V85tt have transformed the handling and made it so much easier to ride. Still not like riding a 2 wheeler but in a way that’s the point. You just recalibrate the brain to sightseeing mode.

And no I wouldn’t try taking the sidecar off and riding it as a solo with these forks.
