Leading Link Forks

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?

 quote from one of our established customers

 

Utilising the machine's existing yokes, substantial twin walled legs are allied to a fully braced swinging fork, pivoted on four sealed ball races and including caliper mounts which enable original components to be fitted.

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.

Their durability has also been proven under the extreme demands of competitive sidecar racing. Yes, there really is an ETH under all that mud!

This is just a very small selection of the designs available. There hasn't yet been a fork that Unit Sidecars can't do.
