    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

DIY Side Car?

Has anyone built a side car for their GS? Or any other bike for that matter?

I have young children who are always begging to go for a ride but they're way too small. They can't reach the foot pegs and I'm worried they won't hold on. So it got me thinking about a side car. Buying one is going to be out of the question, the few I found are way out of budget. But I'm wondering if I could put something together? I have enough tools to do metal/wood work. I could probably build the whole thing from scratch, but I'd rather find something I can use as the body/frame. I'm not coming up with a lot of ideas though.

Can you guys help me brain storm some body/frame ideas? I thought about using a trashcan as the starting point of a body, but that's a bit crude...
 
Hopefully your welding skills are better than mine.

I won't even trust putting ME on anything that I welded, let alone my kids.
