Have been away. I will check tyre brand tomorrow. I know it's was made for a rear tyre. Will let you know. I'm pretty sure my previous front tyre was Kenda but I have found they last a lot longer if you don't ride at all;).

EDIT: Just remembered the photos posted of my bike were when I purchased it 7-8 years ago. So tyre on it now is obviously different

Hey kza13, what sort of shockie are you running on the side car. I had to put a new one on mine a couple of years ago and it is too soft. I was thinking about getting the same sort that are on the bike but I have no idea really.

Sorry no shockie as such, it's a rubber block torsion bar type as old as the sidecar, still adsorbs some of the bump but not a lot, that's the way DJP made 'em, only mod from original is the connections to the bike, got rid of the ball and cup connections and went mortise and Tenon in steel, she's a tad rough till you get a passenger in the chair

Yep know the one. They still make them and I have that same suspension on the small trailer I tow behind the bike.
