:goofy: When you get the time, could you let us know how you've set up braking and shifting from the sidecar? More pics are always good, too. Last year at Friday 13th, I saw a 1 front/2 rear trike with a totally flat floor and a scooter powerplant powering the right rear wheel. Very slick, but lacking the VFR exhaust note. :fing02: I'm just getting a disabled parking pass for my dad, and found out that the Province of Ontario will issue disabled stickers for motorcycle license plates. I wonder what kind of reaction THAT gets from passersby. Glenn

Nice paint. Glenn -
PM sent - I think! Glenn

OK, I didn't recognize your user name from the chassis list. I think if I was going to build another FFE I'd go with a parallel/equal Hossack as well, just to keep complications down to the point where it might actually get completed :blush: . I think there was a suggestion of turning the chassis list into a forum at some point recently (was that you?). Michael can 'outsource' the list operation to micapeak. A forum would be a bunch more work - I don't know how HS runs this and still gets to ride. Glenn

Nice. What are you going to do for steering links? IIRC, they are the most, uh, entertaining part of doing a Hossack (unless you're doing parallel, equal length links, and where's the challenge in that?). Do you know the chassis design maillist run out of micapeak.com or Eurospares? Glenn

The bars on the 6th gens are offset... The centreline of the bar lies ahead of the centreline of the forks in the as-delivered configuration. Goosechef has reversed them to move the bars back. Then he can adjust the angles. Glenn

Remove the throttle and roll back the grip on the clutch side until you see the two holes near the end of each bar. Reinsert the bar end screw. Pull on the screw, and at the same time, push on the little tabs visible through the holes. You just need to get each tab inside the bar, and you can do them individually as long as you keep pulling on the screw. Then keep pulling until the inner weight is out. You may need three hands. HTH, Glenn

Before I made my bars, I thought of doing this. IIRC, you should get 3/4-1" of rearward movement, but no change in height, except for raising the bars which you can do anyway. The (usual) throttle side upright casting has a big groove in it for the brake switch. I assume you have the M/C rotated up so the switch will clear the casting. Have you noticed the difference in brake lever position? Can't beat the price! Glenn
