Re: transmission sidecar gearing
40027 countershaft R26 27 50 60
1st-19T 2nd-15T 3rd-10T
40028 countershaft R50/2 50S 60/2 69 69S
1st-20 2nd-16 3rd-12
Think that means the earlier twin standard trans, with the shorter 1-2-3 gearing, countershaft was shared with the singles; while the later sport trans, with the taller 1-2-3 gearing, was shared with some R69 and most all post '61 trans.
All new to me, thanks for bringing it up.

Re: transmission sidecar gearing
I can tell you after researching this topic, and the sidecar topic in general, there is very little out there concerning the specifics about any of this. The guys that know this stuff are long gone and/or are not talking.

Re: transmission sidecar gearing
When the s/c was found a couple of years later, same year/color as bike, and the last year for both, I believe, (yes- bike, s/c, and myself have all aged gracefully together, thank you very much [smile emoji]) the sport trans was swapped out with its stable mate, a '56 R69, which was equipped with the standard trans, and had the lower 1/2/3 gears, which has worked out much nicer for hauling the s/c, and has also been nicer for the solo '56 as well.
Just another piece of datum.
