Wandering Soul Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 A dual sport...interesting. Just for grins google "sidecar mounting", "sidecar alignment". You don't just bolt one on and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilD'oh! Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 You're right Dan, I can see this thing shedding hardware on a regular basis. Fortunately, I also have a large plastic container of metric hardware. I bought a bunch of bolt on accessories when I got this thing and have found a need to replace a lot of the screws and bolts because they aren't quite long enough. Ural uses a lot of nylon insert lock nuts, but the included bolts only engage the nylon part by a thread. Good thing the Menards down the road has a good selection of metric ss stuff.

JordanOfGilead Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I entered into a contest to win one of those a few years back. Would love to own one, not too keen on the price tag though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had good luck using NEW hardware (old stuff wears and is loose) and blue Loctite. Down side of this is I can no longer find my way back by odd parts laying in the road.

AndonD454 Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Doubt it's slower than the grom! Very cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It MAY have a higher top speed but by many measures the Ural is slower. However I'm sure like the Grom it is a ton of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
