I AM ALMOST FINISHED WITH AN OFF ROAD SIDECAR FOR MY 07 KLR 650. I HOPE TO BO DONE WITH SHEETMETAL AND PAINT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE INITIAL RUN WENT PRETTY WELL, HAVE A BIT OF FINE TUNING TO DO BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS THING WILL BE A BLAST! I WILL TRY TO POST SOME PICS IF I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL ON THE TRAILS.

I have had the pleasure of looking at this thing firsthand. It appears to be nicely done. Test runs will tell but so far I like it. Very Happy

A good quality photo of it clearing a double would be in order Shocked

Thank you guys for the support. I should have the paint on it sunday. Look for pics to show up mon. or tues. As to the photo clearing the double? I have no doubt this thing will do it but the next photo will be me clearing a gerney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found a gentleman in sc. who is going to build a rear shock for me to help with the geometry changes between having the car on and not having it on, so........ the upgrades have begun. Hope you all get a kick out of it, it's been a fun build.
