I heard that!! At least my leading link has a decent paint job

Hey, Yaegunp, could you please post some larger, close up pics of your sidecar for us? We have been trying to identify a sidecar that RickG has, and the body of yours looks to be identical to me, except for the frame around it. Besides, I'm a hack fan and would sure like to see detail pics of yours! Also, some close up pics of that leading link. Thanks!

From what I can see in that small picture it is close. Mine is a bit more square at the high point behind the passenger and the mudguard (fender) looks separate to the body like mine.

Sorry for my tardiness. I will post some pics soon.

The leading link front end is modelled on the Bob Martin engineering unit but with improvements. Front brakes are fully floating. This eliminates the rise of the front under braking as with Bob Martin's unit.

Bob Martin Engineering
"Bob Martin Motorcycle Engineering was established in 1972. Bob's engineering skills have seen BME grow over the past 30 years, to become one of Australia's most sought after motorcycle engineering specialists. Specializing in repairs and modifications to all makes and models. Our frame building and construction have developed from Bob's early days as a sidecar racer when he built his own frames that were among the best in the Australasia. BME frames have been credited with wins at Bathurst during their 20 year involvement.
The company has now been handed to Bob's son Steve Martin, who along with an experienced team, continue to deliver BME's innovative, excellent standards"

Well I finally have had time to throw the pics up for you of the sidecar and leading link

That sidecar body is from the same manufacturer but has the wheel arch moulded into the body where mine has a totally separate moulding over the wheel and the frame is very different.
Now of course the big question is do you know who is the manufacturer and who made the leading link.
