fitting a sidecar

Postby Tonyf » Fri Nov 20, 2015 4:04 pm

I'm looking to get a combo. The prices seem to be going through the roof. Any advice on difficulty or what to avoid?
I'm thinking of a TS or an ES250... Sidecar frame, unsure as yet. How hard would it be for example if I got an old Jawa combo and fitting the chair to the MZ?

Go for it. I had a Supa5 with a lightweight chair on it and was great fun. The ES has the advantage of the leading link forks and a front downtube as somewhere for another fitting to clamp.
