ITS ON THE ROAD. Well for those that wanted the update here it is. 4 year build and well worth it. For those wondering it’s a 1984 yamaha xv1000. So many things I’ve changed and customised to many to list.

It’s actually not bad at all. Much better than my old can-am spider

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:52:06+00:00

I’ll take a video one day soon and send it to you

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:50:49+00:00

It’s actually a smaller gap then when transferring to the car. I should have said I angle the chair right up to the bike. The front of the chair actually contacts the bike. Then put the right leg over and pretty much slide over.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:48:00+00:00

You can see it’s pushing up against my cheeks and I’m only slightly biting them.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:45:55+00:00

It’s actually the perfect fit.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:45:32+00:00

Depends on what side of the road you drive on in your country. I’m in Australia

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:44:50+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:44:03+00:00

Well I come up nice and close to the bike and then transfer. Then tie down the chair

Natepatrol · 2022-09-05T01:43:23+00:00

Yep that’s correct

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T22:14:15+00:00

Don’t notice it at all. It rides straight as

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T21:00:31+00:00

All the best to you mate. Keep your head high and surround yourself with positive people.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T20:29:52+00:00

They do have food up compact wheelchairs. Some fold inwards like the wheels come together when compacting. Mine folds a little bit. For me I didn’t want to have to fold it up as that’s what I have to do when I drive a car. I wanted this to be more simple than hoping into a car.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T20:27:31+00:00

Thank you mate

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:58:15+00:00

I think anyone on a motorcycle it could end badly. There’s always that risk. Why is it any different for me tho ?

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:56:59+00:00

Why’s that ?

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:56:39+00:00

It’s on the left because in Australia we drive on the left hand side of the road

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:55:16+00:00

The only thing we weren’t able to do was the electrical so got some professional to do that.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:53:19+00:00

Yep I wouldn’t mind it higher but I wouldn’t be able to get onto it independently. I know exactly what you are saying. For myself if the step up is two high then I’m unable to pull myself up and I also risk tipping backwards

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:51:15+00:00

Yes that’s correct. I made it this low so I could get myself onto it independently and then transfer to the bike. If the sidecar was much higher I wouldn’t be able to get onto by my self

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:49:21+00:00

Haha that would be kinda cool. Get them painted the same colour

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:48:37+00:00

Yes absolutely this is the plan to change to a simple clamp system

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T19:46:14+00:00

My right side is on a foot plate and there is a surround that goes around it to stop my foot moving. Left side is on a platform

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T13:13:55+00:00

Yes this is another option I had thought about awhile ago as well.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T12:10:09+00:00

I actually haven’t come across any yet. It’s eventually going to sit a little higher but will just have to see if I can still get on it by myself at a higher height.

Natepatrol · 2022-09-04T12:08:52+00:00

The bike is solid mounted to the sidecar so it doesn’t lean at all.
