Just picked up my new steed on the weekend. Indeed, this thing is a blast to ride!
Got my axe attached using the QuickFist clamps. Work great!
Gotta say though, the offroad ride is extremely jarring - just about shake the fillings out of my teeth. Are there any good upgrades for the suspension?
And It's Here!

Re: And It's Here!
Gotta love Ural riders. Of all the farkles to be purchased for a new bike, only a Ural rider would brag about his new axe. I honestly thought he was a guitar player at first. But then I looked closer and...
Welcome to the zoo. Nice rig.
If this is your first sidecar rig, you might want to let Momma sit out for a bit until you truly know how to handle the rig in emergency situations. It's not a car and not a bike.

Re: And It's Here!
I had posted earlier asking how big the trunk was so I could fit an axe among other things. The reply was to mount it on the tub with the shovel.Snakeoil wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 8:34 pmGotta love Ural riders.

Re: And It's Here!
Congratulations.
On a side note, oddly the Ural handles better with a monkey (or safer) than without one. My wife only rides occasionally as her knees have issues but it sure settles down the right turns!

Re: And It's Here!
I would sell you these shocks to help the ride but the shipping to Canada would be steep.

Re: And It's Here!
A lot of us have gone with the Horst Shocks (from Germany). Some fairly long stretches of AK pavement (30-50 miles) can be badly broken up and its like the worst off road you can do. Shipping is reasonable, a couple of weeks and Horst is great to work with.
For on Road the NP seem to work (Stateside roads not Alaska pavement!). CPS seems to be a really good choice for off road, price is not that much different and you can sell the Sachs on this site (I offered mine up for $500 and a member took them right up). I shipped them flat rate boxes so the shipping was reasonable. 3 in the larger box and two in the smaller box.
For me the CPS were like night and day. They have me really spoiled now.
