| 3. EML sidecar tops
|
| Various EML tops I have seen or gathered photos on. It may be added to from time to time. At the end of these snapshots, will be found a section with photos of my own K1100LT-EML and its custom-made top, and SOME details of its construction. A very considerable amount of effort was put into weatherproofing the installation. |

| 4. EZS EML steering dampener
|
| EZS steering dampener 'rubber bellows'...that lower rubber sleeve, ...tend to crack from age and sun exposure. It will then leak oil. The rubber part is available from EZS (in Holland, only), but is VERY pricey. You also need Oetiker clamp pliers and the two Oetiker clamps to install it, although sturdy nylon zips will work OK (but can bunch up and cause leaks). |

| 6. Globe GS200 Sidecar
|
| The Globe GS200 sidecar was made in India in the 1960s as a contemporaneous licensed copy of the Steib LS200. The small size allows a torquey BMW R60/2 to pull it smartly with the solo final drive ratio. This saves considerable cost and allows the bike to be ridden as a solo bike by merely dropping the sidecar.

| 16. Ural Gear-Up Sidecars
|
| Despite its obvious military heritage, the URAL Gear-Up is equally fit for more peaceful missions, such as fishing or hunting trips. Just like its cousin, the Patrol, with its on-demand sidecar drive, Gear-Up’s origins trace back to the military past of the Ural motorcycle family. The Gear-Up combination is as tough as a Russian AK-47! |
