I everyone,
To cut a long story short, we've been traveling (me and my girlfriend) on a BMW side car, for a little while. The K100 was solo from france to Kazakhstan, and the hack was artisanally built in Kazakhstan.
Now, the plan is to keep on going with it, for at least a couple of years (one year for America, one year for Africa). The thing is, that the original fork is (i) a pain (ii) pretty much dead and leaking oil from almost every part of it (iii) uneasy to handle. The idea is therefore to build a proper earles type fork. Question therefore:
-> Does anyone know anyone capable of doing it (that means, who has already done that kind of thing)?
Our worry is that, wherever we'd do it, we would not have too much time to try it around (that is: we won't be testing it for a thousand kilometers). So we need a trustful person for that (sorry about being so careful and perhaps a bit choosy, but we've recently had a major mechanical issue because of some work done on the side car). And we still have about 80.000 km to go before going back to france...
We should be back in thailant from Cambodia in about a week, and can stay in thailand no more than a month.
So, is anyone up for the job?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Take care
Vincent

(in french, we call "side car" - or seed car - the whole thing, and i tend to get confused between "hack" "rig" "side car" and so on...
