David,
Wish I could give you details, but I just bought this rig already
assembled. I AM, in fact, trying to locate a set of the special
sidecar triple trees that Dave Richardson mentions in Guzziology.
He says they are NLA, but were an available item, so I'm hoping
someone out there has a set sitting around not being used. They
are supposed to reduce the trail significantly, which would help
a lot in the handling. Running the Metzler K-Block tires front and
back on the Ambo. They are specially made for sidecars, and
have a squared-off tread much like a car tire.
The rig is a 1970 Ambassador with a Watsonian Monza chair.
Bought it from Jim Knaup at Encore Performance & Fabrication
in Prescott, AZ. Saw it when I went to the AZ rally, and HAD to
have it!
Needs a lot of TLC at the moment, but I have had a lot of fun with
it already. I don't have a digital camera or a scanner, but will try
to borrow one and get some pictures to post.
HTH

What about handling? Did you do any special front end work? Did you change to different tires? |
