Title: 74 Honda Militaire w sidecar...extra credit for originality, CL, nj
Post by: chuck peterson on July 18, 2017, 05:16:32 AM: Okay, a Japanese bike with desert warfare intentions...not too sure how that tool box on the front fender is going to work out with the headlight-bucket...kudos on the determination Id say, but a few veterans might cringe...

His homemade sidecar can't be worth much at all and his paint job sucks.
He will be lucky to get 500 for it if it runs good.

I also wonder if these shocks are up to the stress placed on them by a sidecars lateral load forces..I bet thats a really weird handling rig, for sure!

Post by: sidecarnutz on July 19, 2017, 02:52:55 PM: Speaking as a Veteran, history buff and sidecar guy, this thing is cringe worthy on many levels. Looks like they threw together whatever they could find with no effort being put into making it appropriate or to fit well.

Yup. It fairly screams "TWEAKER!!!" to me... I mean - aside from being a bit more complete than the average tweaker project.

Side note; how does a fells get the door opened?

Post by: papatom on July 21, 2017, 06:27:35 PM: I like the Axis theme, sidecar has German markings, its powered by a Japanese bike, but where are the Italians. Have they already surrendered?
