CHASSIS AND RUNNING GEAR
2.1 Description and General Specifications
The chassis and running gear of the motorcycle is comprised of the motorcycle and the sidecar frames,
operating controls, wheel suspension, brakes, wheel assemblies and tires, fenders, bench seat, and
windshield (if equipped).
The frame is the principal bearing element of the motorcycle to which all the units and assemblies of
the motorcycle are attached. The motorcycle is furnished with a double loop frame of welded
construction. For the design features and principal members of the motorcycle and the sidecar frames
refer to Fig. 2.1-1.
The frame of the solo motorcycle differs from the sidecar motorcycle, by the absence of the sidecar
fasteners and the parking brake mechanism, addition of a sidestand and brackets for securing the solo
tire pump.
The sidecar frame is coupled to the motorcycle frame by ball pins and collet clamps (10) and (17) and
two adjustable frame legs (9) and (15). The sidecar frame is large-diameter welded steel tubing, and
incorporates pads on the rear member for rubber body support cushions. The sidecar swing arm is
connected to its frame by rubber "silent block" bushings. The swing arm is suspended by a spring
loaded hydraulic shock absorber.
