Hello all. I’ve been busy working on a dual sport sidecar build. Although it is not what we refer to as a High Performance sidecar, it is a (somewhat) high performance dirt road outfit. Attached are a few pictures of the finished project. If you are interested in seeing more pictures and a build report check it out on advrider.com in the "Hacks" section and look for “Yamaha FZ1 dual sport sidecar build”. I hope to see you all in Maggie Valley – on the Hayabusa, unless you all plan to put knobby tires on your rigs

Yep, that's a winch. My wheelchair doesn't work very well as a tow truck and the little folding shovel my friend gave me is way to much like work. _________________ Doug Miller |

Looks really sweet, Doug, except it looks way too clean for what it is. Where's the mud
Or are these just the "before" pictures? _________________ David D

Great job Doug. I can only spot one thing out of character for a perfectionist like yourself, and that is the picture hanging on the wall seems a little crooked. [/img] See you in MV.

Really neat job, Doug. Looks like a lot of fun!
If I need anything sandblasted, I will send it down to you, and you can hang it off the rear! On second thought, there probably won't be anything left when you got done.
