Interesting, even nice, but too many wheels. What is that black piece under the windshield? Where did you buy it.

the post gets no answers from me, nice though, but I got a question or two. What is that hanging off the side of the fairing and do it work. I guess it pulls air out from within the fairing and into the stream created by the wing fit airfoils

Clearly he couldn't find anything else in the shed to fix his sidestand puck issues.

That chair is mounted incredibly close to the bike in these pics.

Four wheels bad.
Hmm...that's not how it went, is it...
Apparently it makes the steering very light...

You can always rely on sidecar people to do something different. cheers

I'd guess that the wheels rotate independently and each has it's own suspension unit and swingarm.

Lots to think about there.

Paul.

Looks like too much free time and too much beer.

The second photo shows a black mounting bracket going all the way up the screen, so the mounting bracket connects to the fairing and the screen mounts on the mounting bracket. should make it really strong and resistant to flex and save the screen from failure
