K5 with sidecar?
Norway:
Are there anyone who use the K5 in sidecar racing? Any pics?
Have been thinking of making a sidecar on my old K5,
since none seem`s to have one....... :roll:
I`ve allready got my cross-cart with the K5 engine,
and now I need a new projekt...! :-D

Yes. Most definately. Where are you?
I own 2 myself....and have my hands on 2 more KX500 powered sidecars.
There are many, many more in Europe.
My best advice for you is to NOT try to build a sidecar out of a solobike. Find an already made, specially made to be a sidecar, frame.
If you are serious about this project, let me know where you are....and I'll do my best to try to give you good info, maybe even hook you up with someone fairly locally.
Home built sidecars are basically a thing of the past...unless you REALLY know what you are doing....which most people don't.
One guy here in the states did build one from scratch (not sure what he used to power it)....but did so after spending a lot of time and doing research directly with sidecar frame makers.
A home built sidecar will likely be a lot of work, and not nearly as much fun as doing it right to begin with.
peace,
