[QUOTE="davidd, post: 149966, member: 1177"] Tony, How much lean-in or lean-out, in your case, were you planning to dial in with the mounts? Are you driving on the left side of the road? I usually ran 6 degrees of lean-out to accommodate for the road camber. I never measured my 501 to see if it was square. The 501 was the worst handling, but best riding sidecar. A rigid sidecar wheel is much better for fast riding. I assume that the choice of the 501 means that you do not anticipate sliding around corners at high speed. I suspect your frame will work fine. If you can build the sidecar without restoring it and do some testing, it might help you one way or the other, particularly if you think the torsion bar has lost its torque. But, it seems to me that it might work perfectly when you get down to attaching it to the bike and adjusting the entire rig for road camber. David [/QUOTE]
