Flying the chair!

I have one of those steering dampers, but I'm considering an adjustable modern type. What's your experience with yours?

I've only ridden it a few miles, before removing the sidecar to redo the mountings. I'm in the process of doing that now, just got sidetracked riding the Triumph as a solo. It's a pretty nice ride all by itself. My plan at this time is to get it sorted out and ride it for a while, and then decide whether to swap it to the 961 Commando, or maybe even keep it as is and buy a similar sidecar to fit to the 961. So many options to choose from.

I bet there are not many 961 combos around Ken !

I've found a few on-line. This one is my favorite so far. More info here

Paul, how come fittings versus miters & fish mouths?

I don't have a good cutting setup. My 2 test cuts took inordinately long. I really need a good band saw, mine has a blown gearbox.

I MIGHT go ahead and do those on the right side (instead of "T"s), but still using the elbows.
