Unit Sidecars was
founded in 1978, in the beginning it was truly a 'one man band' with
Keith Wash both it's founder and sole employee.
Keith's intention was
to build a sidecar outfit that would use the most advanced motorcycles
of the time, while still retaining comfort, handling and most
importantly safety. Achieving these criteria was by a combination of a
beautifully crafted and engineered body and chassis, and rigidity of
attachment to the bike as a result of Unit Sidecars renowned
leading link forks, and a completely different
concept in sidecar manufacture.
Over
the years the constant changes to the design and power characteristics
of motorcycles, has meant that Unit Sidecars has been constantly busy
with development. The expert understanding of Keith Wash and the team,
has enabled Unit Sidecars to bring what was once considered a veteran
configuration, to the modern, advanced and eagerly sought after pairing
used by enthusiasts world-wide today.
