Only my opinion - but I think you're going too big if you're triangulating it as well. I'd use 2X1 - ie 52X25 - and 1.8mm wall too. I've made a few arms from this and they finish up very stiff. Foale somewhere goes through the calculations - lateral vs vertical loads - and finished up with 2X1 16G...
Any wider section horizontally and you're starting to get tight for room at the pivot end - particularly if you're using a wide tyre.
I'd use round for the triangulation - it bends easier.
Alloy blocks in the ends of course for axle location. You'll be surprised how stiff it finishes up.
2X1 is pretty common. I've got probably half a stick left here.
mono shock xr69. all of the shock and lever set up is already in the frame

Er, no it would be on trademe by now.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
the rear number plate needs to be within 15 degrees of vertical is something else that needs to be consideredm too
I had a bit of a win on ebay. I found a 1100f clutch cover in france for 30 euro but they wanted 202 euro shipping . I asked them to look at postage and they come back with 25 euro so for a total of $97 nzd I have the clutch lever problem solved !!

Hey Ian could you put up a few detail pics of your sidecar on here please, with back story's on how you created various bits & pieces.
I read your build in NZSRA newsletter, I think members on here would find it very interesting.
Thanks, Steve.
had a good chat with an LVV m/c certifier today, he only does half of it, he does the structural certifying then it goes to the people who vin it to check the placement of shit. interestingly if it fails, you have 21 days to get it back otherwise it's start again and pay full price, that will be a pain especially if there's no-one locally.......
