Jonesy I’ll preserve the existing front end and build a new thing. Then I can sell the bike of as a solo if I get sick of it.

Thanks Tim I had a great chat for over an hour an a half with the guy that built one of those on AdvRider. He’s talked me into building my own front end.

Side Car Front End
« Reply #1 on: August 09, 2019, 08:29:14 AM »
So I bought a side car.  Then I decided to buy a bike to go on it (or the other way around) Planned to use a K100 then maybe an XS but settled on a GSX1400 Suzuki. 

Now I need to buy or make a leading link front end for it.

Any assistance with that task, leads to suppliers etc would be greatly appreciated.
