WHAT A FIND

HELLO ALL,

IN 1979 WHEN I BOUGHT THE SIDECAR FROM MY COUSIN'S NEIGHBOR, THE CROSS SHAFT FOR THE BRAKE ON THE HACK WAS MISSING. I WENT TO MOLENAAR'S HD IN HAMMOND, IN. AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT BUYING THE CROSS SHAFT. WELL, THEY QUIT MAKING THEM IN THE EARLY 70'S, SO I ASKED THEM TO DEALER SEARCH AND NONE WERE AVAILABLE.

WELL, I'M ON EBAY THE OTHER DAY AND LOW AND BEHOLD THERE A CROSS SHAFT FOR THE SIDECAR( LIFE FINDS A WAY!). SO I BID AND I WIN. I DON'T HAVE THE PART YET BUT THAT MAY BE ONE OF THE FIRST PICTURES I POST.

I HAD ALWAYS FIGURED I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE MAKE ME THAT PIECE BUT IT TURNS OUT, EBAY IS A WONDERFUL THING. I ALSO FOUND SOME LADY OUT EAST WHO HAD A BUNCH OF NEW HARDWARE FOR MOUNTING THE SIDECAR TO THE BIKE, SO I BOUGHT THAT ALSO.

PROGRESS IS STILL SLOW, BUT IT IS STILL PROGRESS.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW
