...so I did it Been working on this project for 2 or 3 years now, all started with a killer craigslist find, an 84 GS750E, not running, no papers, come and take it away. So of course I did. I put about $1000 into getting it roadworthy and getting the ownership for it. Then I got the kiddos bugging to go riding with daddy, so of course I had to accommodate them Thats when the sidecar built started. I opted for a leaner style, which allows for easy disconnection of the hack to ride the bike solo if you want to. There is a subframe that is permantly mounted on the bike which I had to design from scratch, then there is the main frame of the hack, which I borrowed from some already existing designs to build. The wheel is a spare part left over from some old Yamaha I stripped for parts at one point. The shock is from a kids dirt bike. The tub is fiberglass, made all from scratch, special thanks to the local boat repair guy, he hooked me up with all the fiberglass cloth I could possibly need for the project. On to the good part:

Thanks B) It is a blast to ride around town on and it draws way more looks than any of my fighters ever have.
