Plans For Side Car

Featured Replies

So has any body come up with any plans? Or a link to some where were I can get some information. I would love to build a chair for my Bultaco and take up sidecar trials.

Well I found a used home made rig to use as a starting point. It will need some changes to fit on my SWM320 but might save some time in figuring out how these things work.

I also found this pdf on some regulations and dimensions.

I have come across a french blog about sidecar trials. It is packed with photos and chat about building outfits and can be found at " le-side-car-trial.allmyblog.com" It's very good ! and has certainly given me food for thought.

Hope this is helpful. I have purchased a wheel for my side car project and drawn up some plans. I will start cutting steel next week.

Hi Guys I have been lurking this thread for a while. Has any body managed any progress with their projects??

building sidecars isn't an exact science. If you cheat...make the width say one inch under the minimum ACU regulation, then you have a distinct advantage, as most sections are 'tight' with regard to fitting the outfit through. As for sidecar wheel lead ( the amount of inches the side car leads the back wheel) less lead the sidecar turns left easier, but more likely to tip over on left hand cambers. (talking here about sidecar on left english)........is that Robin our famous Robin..35 times Brit champ and Brucey, how's our little Tracy

Well after a lot of looking about on the internet I finally bit the bullet and started bending some pipe! This is what my fourteen year old son and I came up with. so far it's been a very steep learning curve riding it. But huge fun.post-2720-0-44993700-1365715903_thumb.jpg

So go on give it a go!

Well the Bultaco outfit seems to be working out OK. We have been riding it as much as we can and competed in our first trial yesterday. Managed to make it through all the sections and got a few cleans as well.post-2720-0-15116900-1377550628_thumb.jpgpost-2720-0-74983300-1377550777_thumb.jpg
