Hi Mark,

Alan advised me that to pull a sidecar with my R50, I must change the gears in the rear drive to get more pulling power. I have finished to refurbish the sidecar and it is ready to be mounted. I would like to order all parts to change the gearing. Can you advise me? Do you have these parts and how much would they cost?

Thank you

Gerald

Dear Mark,

I finally managed to have a better understanding of the parts and changes to make on my motorbike to mount my Steib S350. Can you please let me know if you have the following parts as well as their cost:

1. transmission with gear-ratios for sidecar operation
2. Bevel gear set for sidecar operation in the rear-axle drive
3. springs for sidecar operation (for front and rear suspension)
4. a front engine mounting bolt with ball head for sidecar connection.

These parts are to be sent to Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City).

Thank you

Gerald
