I have tried to post in two forums on two pieces of equipment (an iPad 2 & old Android tablet) but cannot activate my keyboard in the text box !
Is there an issue with the site or are my devices incompatible with the site software ?
What I really need is some technical information, specifically the distance between the front and rear holes for the spindle on the front swinging arm of the ES 250/2 sidecar model.
I used to own one of the original 99 imported by Wilf Green.
Sadly I no longer have that wonderful machine & never thought to take measurements whilst I owned it.
Is there any way to get the measurements I need ?
I was going to post the question in the tech forum hoping that someone out there may have an original sidecar type front swinging arm and could give me an accurate “between centres”distance for the holes.
If I can get the measurement I can convert the “solo” front swinging arm for sidecar use.
By moving the wheel forward the steering becomes more controllable with less tendency to “head shake” and reduces the need for a steering damper ,(always assuming that the outfit is set up correctly with appropriate ‘toe in’ & ‘lean out’)
When I have successfully completed the modification I would be happy to pass on all the relevant information to any interested members.
I hope you can help .
Thanks & regards
Steve
PS Some time ago I sold my MZ sidecar (for a very reasonable sum )to a club member through this website
