                   & Griffin

  I enjoyed riding the Bandit so much I decided to build myself one. This will be the perfect base to road test the new Griffin body which will be ready by the end of August. Its taken some time but i,m sure it will be worth the wait.

                                   Off Road 

 

I think Jim Likes Bathurst. He dropped in on his way to the sidecar rally on the Bridal Track and we made a couple of changes.The Panorama  body will give him plenty of room for storage and for a passenger.

Col has his GSX1400 in to get a Leading Link and 15" Wheels fitted. This will be a great work outfit when she is finished. Col had the body made big enough to take his Classic  Norton to bike shows.

James got us to set this outfit up to accomodate a wheelchair. He now has it operating in Queensland, taking wheelchair bound passengers for day rides.

 

The sun is shining so they are coming in thick and fast. James from Qld is getting his Suzuki Intruder set up with a Wheel chair compatible sidecar.

 The Body needed to be widened by an extra 100mm to ensure clearance for the wheelchair, because the chassis is so low we had to raise the guard by 100mm to get Tyre
clearance.
