If you have a 1400 Guzzi, Velorex sidecars are WAY too light for your bike !!! I've had a V on an Ambassador, Convert., and CX100. It was marginal on those lighter bikes(than yours) too. With a 1400 you're going to have to pony up more $ for a decent sidecar that is comparable in rigidity. ;) Something like a Texas sidecar at least.
As mentioned above, you need a heavy car for a big bike. There are serious forces involved.
I'd go even bigger that the Ranger.I think a sidecar from Hannigan would look good on there.
The only time I've ever felt "out of control" of any machine was a sidecar rig. They are evil handling things, and *not* intuitive. **Take a sidecar course.** That said, Dorcia and I have had some of our best times on the Jack-All rig.
Have you considered a trike? Just curious why you headed down the sidecar road as opposed to the trike road. [/rquote]The cost of a trike is out of my league. A sidecar rig seems to be my best option. I don't want to downsize my bike if I can help it.
I would be interested in checking your alignment. CUrious as to your toe-in settings if it is that evil handling.
The alignment was spot on. I have a laser and know how to use it. ;D It's just that sidecars have a couple of tricks up their sleeves on both right and left hand turns that can catch you unaware.
So how much toe-in are you running then? on an 8 foot run.
