Was that the episode where Richard Hammond did the review with an ST1100?

There has only been one Flexit sidecar l'm aware of here in Oz, and that was here in Melbourne and fitted to Peter H's ST1100. I followed it on a few occasions and the bike rode very well.

It didn't have a leading link, but cannot remember if Pete had to altered the rake angle at all. Anyway l haven't seen either Pete or the bike for many years. But he'd done a grand job of fitting it...had a matching wineberry colour so it was quite distinctive.

I don't think Flexit made many RHD 'chairs', so l'd imagine it's both rare and collectable now.

Cheers the can :-)
