Quick exercise in toe-in setup, I'm starting with 1/2" IN from back of rim to front of rim. The bike is parked centered on the slab expansion joint. Level is placed appropriately to achieve 1/2" toe-in. Here you can see it had to come out quite a bit in front.
Now THAT'S better!
After re-checking all hardware was fully tight, I took the bike for a spin. The sidecar alignment will need further adjustment, but it didn't behave badly at all!
The bike DID behave badly. VERY badly...
As I returned to the barndo, it all of a sudden it started puking oil; I shut it off as soon as I spotted it. NOW what????? Couldn't see anything nasty, the engine was not knocking or rattling, it just started puking...
