Looks like they must. I don't have a sidecar, just don't want to be that guy that put his on upside down if there's a standard way to set them by default

Man, I learned a whole lot

Man, I learned a whole lot about my bike working my way through the front fork. For starters, I had some pieces mixed up. Half of the original image's pieces wound up belonging in the swing arm, so once I sorted all of that out things started to make a lot more sense. I also didn't understand how th...

R50/2 Final Drive Gasket

Hey guys, I've hit a new snag, gaskets! Do I cut these myself or is there a good place you could recommend to buy them? Keep in mind I'm a total newbie to mechanical work.

That is awesome, thanks for

That is awesome, thanks for the encouragement! Pulling this thing apart was one thing, but it's so intimidating thinking about putting it back together. I guess, how bad can I screw any part up, right? I can always walk it back. I've got a solid guess about how these should go in, I think I'm going ...
