Hi Steve, must admit that I have not checked out the site for a while, but will be dropping in more often now as my Flexit project gets underway. It would be...
Hello all. Just found this site while searching for pictures of leaning sidecars. A little bit about myself. Obssessed with motorcycles :-) Ridden most makes,...
Hi Tony Sadly, your choice of leaners is limited - you'll see various options on this site, but I don't know that many would go well with a smaller bike. ...
Hi Paul Luckily, you don't need to "re-egineer" anything - the Flexit has three different lengths of H-arms, depending upon which bike it's going on, and the...

Tony Yup - all this is true - a rigid sidecar is a pain to build, a pain to set up and a pain to ride. In contrast, a Flexit requires that you: Bolt it on, ...
Sorry to be contrary, but I rode a conventional sidecar for many years, and they are not a pain to ride. They are a lot of fun. I'm sure that bendy sidecars...

In the world of sidecarists, the number of leaners to rigids is likely 1000 to 1 of rigids to leaners. It is truly amazing the lengths that sidecarists will...
Young Steven (I can say this, because I'm a month or two older). That's just the point - you spent years riding them - Tony is, in his own words "a sidecar...
Hi Fred You've hit the nail on the head: to make a "good" rigid sidecar, you have to modufy the bike (hub-centre/leading link steering) so much that it ceases...
