rear shocks, the one at the front is connected to a
compressor to allow ride height changes to be easily
made.
he upper triple tree is cast, and not only does it
provide a pivot point for the suspension, but it
also carries the bike’s handlebars.
On the right side of the bike the sidecar’s chassis
is a bolt-on fitting. The sidecar, like the bike itself, uses
a mountain bike air shock, this time a Fox, to offer
both comfort and adjustable ride height. The spoked
wheel used on the sidecar is a 20 x 2.15in rim built
by Wildstyle and wrapped in a 21-90-90 motocross
tire and stopped with a JayBrake single piston
calliper. The same wheel and brake configuration is
used on the front of the bike, while at the rear the
solid wheel is 19 x 3.15, fitted with a 19-80-130 tire.
The brakes are operated by CRC handlebar controls,
as is the hydraulic clutch.
The build is finished with minimal bodywork,
which comprises of an oil tank and rear fender on
the bike and a gas tank on the back of the sidecar,
all of which was painted by Zbynek Turecek.
Because in the World Championship of Custom
Bike Building the entrants themselves vote for the
bikes they think should win, it is often a case that
anything goes when it comes to judging what is
considered best.
