Question 4u

leading link is one i built

used to build a lot of them but raked trees have become so much cheaper i dont get much call...still like the fact that the LL has adjustable trail and its not a big deal to change springs an shocks

Hello Stacebg

I ask you a couple of questions yesterday in a post and I'm not sure if you seen it or not. I could really use some help figuring out the shocks I need for a leading link. I hope you get this, if not I must be doing something wrong. TIA

LL

that is awesome!!

great to get them involved at a young age

and yes a sidecar rig can be very safe but can be dangerous with the wrong nut behind the bars..

i had a kz1300 w a legend sidecar... very comfortable ... never had any interest in a hack at all but at the time my daughter was 5 or 6 and i had the kz (set aside to be a trike) and legend came available for $1500 and was only a couple yrs old... lotta fun miles.. liked it so much i kept it long after she started riding on the back

(with her mom) on the vmax trike

did you do anything with the front end?

Hi Stacebg,

I thought I was replying to your post at the end of this thread, not sure if your were notified of it or not. I'll try it this way. I just have a couple of questions for you about leading links.

wasnt notified but i did see it

i just used what i had for shocks and got lucky.. but if you have more than on set of holes in the arm you can effectively change the spring rate an with the clamps you can adjust the ride height

Thanks for the help. I think I'll run it over to the truck scales and see what the front end weights first. I'm just not sure if I need 100# or 250# springs or something in between. I'm on my second shock on the sidecar and it's still a tad to heavy and I don't want to chase my tail on this if I don't have to. Scott

Because with a sidecar you can make work fun. Marking some Oaks that sprung up so they did not get run over.
