Where's Marlon Brando?




High tech mounting...




Low tech mounting.



Here's the sidecar project I've been working on. I found this 1974 Spirit Eagle sidecar on ebay. I'll post more pics as the project progresses.

Oh, and before you ask, the center stand is borrowed from my ladys T100.

That is going to be amazing when you get it finished! Hey, you didn't happen to get that helmet off of E-bay did you? I just ordered a helmet from JP helmet express on ebay and i'm hoping that it will fit really well.

Love it.

I've been bike-only for four years now, and I'd buy a rig like that long before I'd consider buying another car.

It would look great of you mounted a spare wheel to the back of the hack ala old military bikes.

I'd love to do that with the Scrambler, but the downside is that the pipes would be on the inside rather than on the left and exposed. Bet you could have new headers fabbed.

I love it! That style sidecar is the perfect match for your Thruxton. Can't wait to see the completed project. :clap:

I just noticed the matching turn signal. Nice!

Something to talk to Jay at Dauntless Motors about would be having the sidecar wheel converted to use the same front wheel and disk brake as the thrux.

More money, I know, but a worthwhile mod IMO.

Keep us informed on how it goes as I am tempted to sell the Ural and do something similar.
