/6 sidecar subframe

Post by Corn »

Image I know this is a long shot but I'm getting very little response from many people and companies I've reached out to. Does anyone have a Lowell Neff subframe or similar BMW /6 sidecar subframe (peikert hilfsrahmen bmw) laying around or know of someone who may? I have a 1975 R90/6 and want to attach my Steib sidecar. I know there are US companies that have newer ones but I want to stay original with the Steib/BMW ball mounts. Thanks in advance for any help getting this hack, back on the road! This has been posted elsewhere, I will update this when she's mounted!!

My next suggestion was the MOA forum. But I see the same post is also there with no real response to date!!

Corn,
That picture of the Lowell Neff subframe is theactuall frame I bought for my 74 R90/6 - Ural rig.
It is a very simple construction. You could easily have one fabricated.
My rig is in storage but I could help with some dimensions and material sizes. For the ball ends they can be be turned on a lathe and welded to the subframe.

There is a repair part, for the Earles fork bikes, that is a steel ball on a saddle - a weld on mount that is available. If you are going to fabricate a mount, you will find these very handy, rather than pay someone a lot of $ to make/machine the ball mount itself.

The BMW part number is 46 51 4 000 134 weld-on ball sidecar stud front lower frame R25/2-R27 R51/3-R68 28mm frame tube

The saddle of the ball mount fits a 28 mm round frame tube.
