Hi Holger,
 look forward to seeing some pics of your outfit.  Hello Forum 177912 

I have a 1988 sales brochure from Wasp, from the time I bought my forks, sub-frame and wheels.

Cheers
Paul.

Hello Underduck.

Welcome to the madhouse. Very nice outfit... After seeing your pictures I may install the Sprint fairing on the rig. Smile
I have a question for all the people having an outfit: When I put the cover on the EML, I cannot see anything in my right mirror (left for some people). Do you have the same problem?
I am thinking about installing a car backup camera.
Am I the only one having this problem? Have you ever considered this option?

Cheers and enjoy the forum.

CF

I don't have a problem with my left mirror Bert, but when I fitted a 'blind spot' mirror on that side, I just got a view of my sidecar!

Paul.

This is my problem too. I believe that the backup camera could be the answer. It's cheap.

Only your left elbow?

Handlebars bent? Mirrors are identical.

Maybe if you tuck the tackle to the left it will give you a bit of right adjustment in your seating position.

Yes, rude of me.

Welcome Holger, you can see we are easily distracted.

Hi, thanks for the welcome here in this forum.

Paul, thanks for the pictures of the brochure of Wasp.
I there even a question regarding the rims?
Have the wheels the size 3.00x15 or 3.50x15.

Regards, Holger

welcome Holger , always interesting to see the different designs of outfits , 
during our recent visit to the Karuah Rally, we came across Hans's outfit , which displayed the same 15" rim as yours. nice match to the K's wheels.

Hello Forum Pic_0225

enjoy your time here , much to learn and contribute to.

Hi Holger,
I've never measured the rim width but Wasp recommended using 125x15 tyres.

However, I've been using 145x15 (who sticks to recommendations?) for the last 27 years without problems. I currently run a lower profile (65%) front, but I've always used a full profile rear so I don't lower the gearing.

There's presently a trend in the UK sidecar fraternity to use a solo 15" rear tyre at the front. The claim is that there's less tendency to follow grooves in the road surface, so I may try that when I next change the front tyre.

Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul.  Any chance of re doing the Wasp brochure.  For some reason some of it is missing - it seems to have moved to the right!

Thanks

Colin
