Hey!
I'm Mårten Leikarnes from the westcoast of Norway, with my dad we build and rebuild bikes from time to time. K100/K1100 at the moment with sidecar.
My dad bought his first K100 in 1990, 1984 mod. which he built a sidebike sidecar to in 1992, when I was to be born in 1993. I've grown up in this sidecar with more than 100.000km in it. He then sold it and bought a Kawasaki ZZR1100 wich he built a strengthened copy of a sidebike onto. both theese with traditional sidecar fork. He then sold the Kawasaki and bought a new Suzuki SV1000S in 2003, this one is the first I was a part of building. Having seen a bike with single sided front suspension my dad wanted to build a sidecar with one of theese. The whole sidecar is built in aluminum, built during the winter 2004/2005.
We took the sidecar off the SV1000S and sold the bike as a solo bike. We bought an 1984 K100RS from northern Norway, it had been in an unfortenate meeting with a moose.
Here it's all stripped down and building of the single sided front suspension frame started:
Me turning out the new rear wheel spacer to accomodate the new rear wheel
Got it all linked together:
A little testride:
GSXR 750 fearing
Then bought a K1100LT policebike from Denmark and changed engine and painted the K100:
All done:
Custom exhaust right under the engine:
We sold this one this summer and we're now building a new one!
One of our ideas was to build a K100GS, we got a spare DR750 front fork and rims...
But this is now a bit on the shelf until we get one more frame...
It's going to be a new K100 with K1100 engine and single sided front suspension and sidecar!
It's going to be a single exhaustpipe under the saddle, thats why the frame is changed at the back end.
The sidecars we use for winterriding, going to Krystall Rally and all that!
I also have some japaneese and an englishman in the stable... I usually ride the Suzuki DR750 Big.
