ETZ251 Sidecar Project.

Postby Steve1200s » Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:00 am

Hi all,

I'm looking at adding utility sidecar to my ETZ251.

Does anyone have any instructions or photos of sidecars fitted to an ETZ? or any other motorcycle really....

I'm going to be making the side car myself, but I'm not quite sure how to fix it to the bike.

At the moment I'm thinking of 3 fixing points -
1 - A horizontal bracket to the main stand mounting.
2 - A diagonal strut up to the upper rear shock mount.
3- A diagonal mounting up to the tank mount, just behind the head stock.

Anyone have any advice on this?

Thanks in advance.
Steve.

keep in mind that most sidecar wheels set a few inches forward of the rear motorcycle wheel
and when looking at it on level ground if it looks to lean in or out when loaded
it probably leaning to much

chair in the uk is usually on the left in the usa on the right
and do read the books by the big side car clubs on driving one
its a whole new ball game

and a man in a hurry should leave the sidecar and bike at home
and let an airplane pilot DO THE FLYING....
on a 250 cc its a town driver store runner
taking long trips is slow and hard on motors
