Sidecar frame
« on: November 15, 2007, 05:26:25 AM »
Hi all

Does anyone knows where thatkind of sidecar frame belongs to? Pipes and bolts are inches. I think it is turned upside down to make it lefthand sided sidecar, because our lefthand traffic...

 I AM NO EXPERT BUT AS YOU HAVE HAD NO REPLIES----
THE CHASSIS IS THE CORRECT WAY UP. IT FITS ON THE RIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE REAR OF THE BODY HANGING ON THE SPRINGS.THE STUB AXLE OF THE SIDECAR WHEEL FITTING INTO THE BRACKET ON THE REAR RIGHT OF THE FRAME AS YOU SIT ON THE BIKE. THE LAST TIME I SAW THIS TYPE OF CHASSIS IT WAS ON A LATE1920'S SUNBEAM M7 600cc MOTORCYCLE. SORRY CANT HELP WITH THE MAKE. BUT  SURELY THERE IS SOMEONE READING THIS WHO CAN !

Apparently they drove on the left in Finland up to 1858, however I don't think the sidecar frame is quite that old!

(although Sweden changed over to driving on the right in 1967)

Hi all!

Here in Finland one guy regonize it, it is Indian motorcycle sidecar frame from 20's. And Indian is most popular motorcycle here in Finland on 20's. And now that frame found new owner. I only have Royal Enfields, so I don't wanna mix Brittish and Yankee cycles together.
