All drivers of motorcycles with sidecars attached know the problems inherent with the standard telescopic fork for sidecar use. They offer excess trail and insufficient lateral rigidity, these manifest themselves in steering which is heavy and prone to wobble violently.

Unit Sidecars have overcome these problems completely with production of their leading link fork design, the design parallels a proven design which has been accepted for 30 years in sporting events.

The professional driver requires positive handling and precise steering, these forks also encompass the added advantage of adjustable trail and damper preload to ensure the greatest comfort and security for both driver and passenger.

Why use leading link forks?

"The precision engineered Leading Link Forks have improved the handling, safety and comfort of my outfit by 100% - quite honestly, I wouldn't "pilot" another outfit without them".

This quote is from one of our established customers.

Springing and damping are controlled by units specially prepared for this use by the Koni Factory and mounted at their upper pivots by adjustable clamps. The forks come complete with a fine moulded glassfibre mudguard, stays and extended Goodridge brake hoses.
Finish is black, in hard wearing chemically cured paint on an acid etch primer. All bright parts and fastenings are stainless steel.
Unit Sidecars leading link forks systems have been rigorously tested in all conditions, from deserts in Africa to the Arctic Circle.
Their durability has also been proven under the extreme demands of competitive sidecar racing. Yes, there really is an ETH under all that mud!

All of Unit Sidecars leading link forks are supplied with fitting instructions, dampers and relevant bushes, also a 2 year unlimited mileage guarantee against manufacturing defects (damper units 1 year). In all cases the assembly replaces the existing telescopic legs and utilises original brake calipers. All forks are accepted by German TUV.
