This is my VW-powered rig. This is as it was when it was rescued from a barn in Oklahoma.

If it ever sees the light of day again, it is going to be a mean machine.
 
cdd, a buddy of mine had a BMW/VW rig with a Velorex tacked on to it back in the late 70's.

I got to drive it quite a bit. Different... . . it sure didn't know that chair was hanging off of the side of it, that is for sure! At the time I was a designer for the Vetter Corporation and we were just starting the development of the Terraplane II side car and were using an Yamaha XS100. It couldn't keep up with that, but it was no slouch either. Fun rig!

I guess more than one company offered adapter kits, but I can't find any now.

Here's an old discussion from AVRider, 2010 > http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=610804

Just curious, are you a member of the Yahoo BMW/2 Conversion Group?

Yea the aux fuel tks would be nice especially with sidecar rig. But you have the only bmw/hybred with real APE hangers I have ever seen.

What potential for a sidecar rig!!!!

Ooweel on advrider has some amazing, beautiful /2 customs:

I actually have three of them.
