For some extra information about navigating the forum you can go to Forum Tips. I need to know if I should buy a used rig already set up, or go for the new quick detach to go on my Street Glide. I am not really a mechanical kinda girl, so looking for the easiest thing I can afford. Thanks in advance. Easy and affordable might be a bit contradictory. The best way to go would be a dedicated rig and another solo bike.
I'm sure others will join the conversation with more detail Good luck!! I'm starting to think the expensive quick detach may be the cheapest way to go.
Just looking online, it looks like about complete. Thanks for your input. Hey Trooper13, Just attaching a sidecar to a motorcycle gives you an inferior handling and much less enjoyable experience.
Modifications to the bike will make the experience much more enjoyable and probabbly safer. Once the bike is modified it becomes unrideable as a motorcycle, that's why the majority of sidecar drivers who still like to ride two wheels have another solo track available.
I have three others to choose from. In my thinking there is no such thing as an easily removeable sidecar outfit. On the sidecars we make that come with bike specific mounts, as the mounts do not move you can take the sidecar on or off in about 10 minutes with only 4 bolts, a plug for the wiring and if you order the optional brake a quick disconnect for the brake, However, A few things to keep in mind, the lower two bolts are not all that easy to get to and once you have the sidecar off it is not all that easy to move around so if you are going to do this often you will want a cart to hold the sidecar when taking it on or off.
The clutch fitted is a dry dual disc setup, running power to a 4 speed transmission, with reverse gear for when you get stuck. And this bike is built for taking places where you are likely to get stuck. As with lots of other Russian machinery, two methods of starting are available, both electric and kick, just to be sure. Interesting roads require adequate suspension, Ural decided that front and rear fitted Sachs hydraulic shocks are able to take the stress of where ever you are tempted to test this bike.
The front leading link suspension harks back to the bikes original incarnation, the Brembo floating disc brake setup definitely does not. The rear end and the sidecar are both drum braked, again going with an easy useable idea.
Finished in a shade of orange that would come in handy to alert rescue helicopters, the bike is nearly all go and no show. Sidecar mounted foglights, crashbars, rider as well as passenger windshields, crashbars and more crashbars keep you safe on nearly any shortcut you wish to take. They do however have a few quirks when that is attempted. Most sidecar equipped motorcycles do not lean in the turns.
Because of this the tires wear flat and square. Tires in this condition are not comforting on a two wheeler the first time you lean it into a curve. Most also have a leading link front suspension which to the uninitiated is a very strange feel on a two wheeler.
Cob's most excellent skid plate, Cycra Probend smashproof hand guards, Duro strong like bull 's, RotoPax damn near bulletproof fuel cans, MKIII all but water proof air box and Dimples super duper magnetic drain plugs all around My is a Roustabout model which originally had telescopic forks as standard.
Achieving distance by letting the World turn beneath me. I have both a Tourist and a Troyka. The Tourist has leading link front forks and the Troyka has telescoping forks. The Tourist without the sidecar drives something like a brick.
The Troyka was sold originally with the right turn light and the right engine guard in the trunk, to replace when you wanted to ride solo. In comparison with the Tourist the Troyka does have significantly more up and down motion when you brake; on the other hand, the Tourist takes a lot more muscle to steer which may be a good thing for stability. Various Ural models came with the telescoping front fork, the Deco I believe , the Troyka, etc. None of them were 2WD models, if that influences your choice.
And almost no one I've heard of drops their sidecar for anything other than maintenance issues. The sidecar is one of the reasons you buy the bike to begin with. Post by Scott » Tue Aug 16, pm Yes.
There's several models that have been designed as Solos over the years. About 15 years ago or more there was the Solo with better gearing.
