There is a swaybar mounted between the swingarms of the sidecarwheel and rearwheel to give a better suspension behavior. Only a part of the swaybar mounting point at the rear swingarm is visible.

The CHS was designed and fabricated by Bill Ballou of Andover, Massachusetts. This nice compact system includes two brake calipers. You can see four dots to indicate the adjustment of the trail of the front wheel. The Suzuki 1200 Bandit is used as powerpack.

Wow,... I really would like to testride this Bandito-Bandit !!
e.g. in the Iron Butt Rally or so.
