Pictured below is the prototype CSM sidecar unit built for Chris McCarthy [aka Zenduddhist] by Claude Stanley of CSM Sidecars, mounted to his very nice 2010 Triumph. It has an optional glove box, skirted steel fender and a large exterior opening trunk with a rear rack. There is also a manual tilt adjuster added to this one. Body is hand made from 1/8" aluminum and powder-coated black.
My scrambler with the watsonian chair. I would have preferred the wire wheel version, but this came along at the right money, so I bought it. Fitted with Western bars, soon to have a square section front tyre. 17T sprocket on the front and I'm just about to put some Hagon Nitros on the back that will be sprung for the weight of the chair.
Fitted an avon square section 400-19 tyre to the scrambler today........it cleared the fork brace, but only just. The tyre wouldn't move to start with, then I noticed that the mudguard screws were buried in the tyre. A few plastic spacers later, and all was good. It looks kinda chunky now......but hopefully will handle a lot better.
I stumbled upon this thread because I am considering putting a sidecar on my 2005 Bonneville. My question is: Which is more fun, riding around like an old cafe racer, or cruising around with your dog in the sidecar?
