Sidecar outfit

I had no intention of posting anything about the draglink recall, but while at the dealer today for said fix plus an oil change,
I saw this cool looking Rocket with a Champion sidecar so I thought I'd post some pics..... Tom









A Honda ST-1300 obviously operating on the wrong side of the law

Totally off topic. Those are very unusual front forks on that Rocket. And a search on 'hit forks' (sp?) drew nothing. Any ideas on what they are all about?

Looks like the upper bracket is covering some of the lettering. Unusual looking forks for sure though.

It's an Earles-type front fork. Almost a "must-have" for sidecar use.

How true... but draglink recall is so boring I doubt there's enough interest in sidecars to move this to a new thread.
I'll leave that up to DaveM.

My bad....Tom

I think these are leading link forks made by Unit Sidecars in the UK....http://www.unitsidecars.co.uk/forks.html



If I were going to have a sidecar, it would have to be of the leaning variety.
