Just to put it out there...sidecar use is really hard on rear wheel bearings on the twin shock bikes. The hub on a cast snowflake wheel is as sloppy as, so I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts of supporting the tapered roller bearing cup using Devcon. Currently, the cup just falls out....

Thanks Kurt...Snowbum really gets into the absolute molecular level of everything about BM's, and is probably the most knowledgeable person out there. Currently uncovering lots of boxed up spares as I continue to chip away at the project. .....

Just an afterthought, but i had all kinds of problems with getting my points ignition to work properly after it had been around the clock 4 or 5 times ( this was 20 years ago as well. ). After much stuffing around, the culprit was a worn centrifugal advance unit, even though it had new springs fitte...

And a couple more to give you an idea of the sdecar set up

First attempt at taking photos....

Managed to uncover everything......what a mess. Took some photos but they wont upload, as there is some sort of size restriction. I'll keep trying. Amazingly enough, after sitting for 10 years without moving at all, everything still seems to work. Wheels turned, gearbox runs through the gears, clutc...
