I had an R69S that I put sidecar springs on, and I had two rear ends and two rear wheels. I could completely change from solo to sidecar, or the other way, in an hour. When riding solo with the sidecar springs, they felt good. Not too stiff.

Allen,

Thanks for info. Do you know anyone who has a 26/6 bevel gear set and or complete hub available for sidecar mounting? I just ordered the springs from Mark Huggett!

Mark,
I have a 1967 R69S. I want to change the springs for sidecar mounting. Your parts catalogue mentions 6,3 mm dia for front and 7,6 mm for rear. The solo springs I have are from what I can gather about 5,0 and 6,0 respectively. The 7,6 mm must be almost rigid! Is there an error in the catalogue or are my measurements incorrect-?

Hi Pierre

Without dashing into the store and measuring the springs myself, I would say that your measurements are correct. There may be errors in our catalogue, but that is not one of them.

Best regards,
