FITTING SERVICE (NON
VELOREX SIDECARS)
We are often asked
to fit sidecars that are not Velorex and not originally supplied
by us. It is near impossible to give an accurate price for this
service on a website.
However, once we
have pictures of the bike and sidecar we are happy to quote.
We always give a maximum quote based on how much work we feel
is needed, if it turns out to be as expected this quote will
be the cost. If it turns out to be less work than we imagined
we will charge less. Importantly if it turns out to be more
work than we quoted for we will NOT charge more than the original
quote. The maximum is the maximum, simple as that.
The example on the
right was about as bad as it gets, New tubes had to be added
to the chassis at the front and the chassis braced and then
repainted to allow the use of our 5 part fitting kit, a number
of special fittings were made for the bike.
Note, the only additional costs over the maximum quote would
be for sidecar repairs which are not part of the fitting process.
For example the sidecar pictured on the right required a new
shock absorber. This became apparent after fitting, as the original
shock absorber simply bottomed out as soon as a passenger sat
in the sidecar.
