CB1100 Sidecar Experiment

[deltamark]

Bike looks better with a dog as the monkey!
Check out some handguards for a Yamaha SuperTenre, inexpensive and will break that cold winter wind. I left the windshield on the tub to give the dogs some relief and folded it down under the tonneau cover when riding solo which actually improved gas mileage noticeably.
Guy by the name of Rich Maund on SOvietSteeds makes and sells covers and doors, good quality.

Thanks for the tips, 4Paws! I will definitely look into the hand guards.

I also agree that the rig looks better with the dog as the monkey, but my wife did make a comment about the "Caution K9" bumper sticker, expressing concern about when she might ride in the sidecar. :-) (I may have to rethink that bumper sticker.)

I would have preferred to leave the sidecar windshield on, but it seemed that Rudi didn't have enough room. How big is your dog? Rudi is about 94 pounds and very long/tall. Have been researching shorter windshields. One that I might be able to relocate further up on the tub.

I'll also look into the guy who makes the sidecar covers. That item has definitely been on my list.

Dogs are so patient with us humans sometimes.

Your bike and the rig look great, deltamark, and Rudi looks a fine fella.

Thanks Cormanus. Yes, I hope to learn and acquire some of Rudi's patience. :-)

I'm not even a dog person (I have always had cats), but you have a winner there in Rudi! Great photos. The rig is beautiful, though I'd expect that if Bob Wark set it up. I'm glad it's all working out.

Thank you cookiemech. Yes, Bob Wark is a pro and I knew after the first time that I spoke with him about a year ago that I wanted to work with him.
