How to build a sidecar in aluminium!

Model for the sidecar in copper, made from old electrical wire (my dad is an electrician...)

Thees pictures are from the winter 2004/2005 when we first built the sidecar for the SV1000S and five years later we changed it over to the 1984 K100

Then we jump foreward to 2010 and the building of the K100 with this sidecar!

A moose wanted a taste of a K100:

After some maintenance it finally started and we got to testride it to check if it was okay!

It didn't run like it should, it had been on the side on a pallet half the length of Norway in a lorry...

Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_9532_zps388689c5
Then we startet thinking about the construction of a new single sided suspension, we had one from the SV1000S, but we soon realised that it wouldnt fit the K100, so a new idea was forming in my dads head. All the templates were made out of wood with a staplegun and then we just bent pipes that matched the templates so and so... The wishbones length and placement was desided by mounting the tire to a table and then moving it around until it was in line and the lengt fitted the rest.

Lovely work guys. I must compliment you on the shape and proportions of both the side car and the seat tail.

Some more pictures of the latest progress in the build!

Making of the sidecar supension link, the spindle is out of an old Audi 80 rear spindle bearing.
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_0725

The shock mount is cut out of a Suzuki GS500E frame we had lying around that wasn't usable for anything else...
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OxydQ703BBM/U3HqOv1X2gI/AAAAAAABXtE/IvRdfPvv-I4/w913-h685-no/IMG_0729.JPG

Spindle mounting on the sidecar frame:
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_0733

Mockup for the shock mount, the shock is to strong for this use (even though it's broken when on the GS500E...) 
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_0735

The mill we borrow didnt have the right size drill bit, so we opted for the easy way:
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. 20140516_223828-MOTION

And then the clip-on from the GSXR-750 fitted nicely!
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. 20140516_224128

Today dad milled down the upper triple clamp to make it a bit slimmer:
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_4312

The mill did not cooperate at the last cut and made a groove in the clamp, but it will be nearly hidden...
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_4313

Here we see the difference in thickness, the lower triple is the original size and the upper is milled down.
Building a BMW K100 with aluminium sidecar & single sided front suspension. IMG_4315

We're gonna have to use the lathe on the legs to shorten them a bit!

Clip-on's mounted!

Fantastic vision and work! You guys must be proud as punch! Wonderful to spend such good time with your old man too.

Good to see another red frame Wink Really like the new tail section on the red frame bike - the way the frame comes up and looops around is very nice. Would be a great look for a street tracker style mod.

We've started fiddeling with the K again! My dad has made a new swingarm, the last one was too short to get the suspension geometry right. There was no room to move the lower spring mount around to get more suspension travel. 

The old swingarm and pipes for the new one.

New and old swingarm, the new one looks more lean and is better made to accommodate better suspension
