Hi everyone after a lot hack research and asking around......we finally decided to hack our 2007 V-Strom DL1000. So we happily would like announce that our hack project “MORCEGINHO” is on
Creator:
C STANLEY MOTORSPORTS CORPORATION
The Project Components are going to be:
*CSM custom sidecar with modified body style to include lockable trunk door in 1/8" powder coated aluminum (color to be Yellow)
*Sidecar frame is going to be made of 1 3/4" x .120 wall round DOM tubing.
*Manual tilt adjustor
*Splined end swaybar
*Double sided swingarm
*Sidecar wheel to be a V-Strom rear wheel
*Front rack (powder coated red)
*Top box rack (powder coated red)
*Grab bar (powder coated red)
*5 gallon fluid container
*Tow hooks or rings (one front and one rear)
*Subframe for V-Strom DL1000
We would like to take this opportunity to tank Claude Stanley for all his help. He has been so helpful since we contact him for the first time, shooting him with a lot of questions about sidecars.
NOTE: We are new in the hack area and have just a bit of knowledge about the construction of this kind of piece of equipment, so having someone patient and willing to help has been great!!!! Claude is the right person to talk with about sidecars, he really knows about hacks and is willing to help people, like us with zero sidecar knowledge, to learn and understand better what is the best way to go when you are looking for a sidecar. Even if you have an idea and need help to create a custom hack, just draw it and he can make your ideas become real. This is the way we came up with the design of our sidecar, according to our needs for our future adventure.
Once the project is done, MORCEGINHO is going to be attached to MORCEGA (V-Strom DL1000). This two are going to be part of our trip to Central and South America starting, if everything goes well, November 2010.
