Old Suspension Before Changes

This is a 'before' photo of the sidecar suspension changes.. Due to a ground clearance issue at speed with the swingarm trailing edge/swingarm pivot making contact with a road cross-cut, the shock tower ended up bending inwards into the wheel-well, and the welded-on swingarm bearing housing was twisted. This required a complete re-think of the sidecar suspension, as it was damaged badly enough that it needed to be replaced, instead of fixed. The photo shows the suspension as it appeared during winter 2004-2005, with my swaybar add-on modification from that season.
