Took delivery today. I have to forget everything i thought i knew about motorcycles. It was a 130km smile this afternoon.
Off topic posts will draw attention.

How long has it been since putting money down?

 

[GreyGhost]

Congrats. Has B gone for a spin yet?

Enjoy. Hope to see mud on it in the next set of pics.

EDIT: Whats the deal under the chair? Are those coil springs in a rubber boot?

Two wheels good! Four wheels bad!

Three wheels... um, neat!

 

[PacoT]

Congrats, I like the colour

So I’ll know who I’m waving at when I see a ural around St Jacobs
Conestoga areas

Congratulations on the purchase

She loves it and not shy about the UDF (Ural delay factor). Fun waving at all the people that wave and smile.

Ya, i gotta find some loose stuff and try 2wd. It's impossible to use it on pavement.
Sidecar suspension. Coil springs in rubber snowmen.All 5 shocks are preload adjustable. Tools in the standard toolkit.

Don't Urals come with a diffy?

Nope.

 

[Lightcycle]

Nope.

Strange, I coulda sworn I read that they do. Huh.

Live rear axle, sidecar wheel can be engaged through a simple spline coupling. It's only used in snow and loose terrain.

You don't really need a diff when the difference in turning radius is small, and the terrain is loose. Look at at the older pre independent suspension atvs, 3 wheelers, Banshee and Raptors are all live axles with 2 wheel peel.

No diff.

Congrats.

This is what I was thinking of.

Ural Sportsman had a diff sourced from a Ukrainian company, but they stopped making them in the late 90s/early 00s.

Let us know if you will be holding demo days.

I think thats a Dpner drive fitted to a Ural. Urals own is brilliantly simple, couple and uncouple a solid shaft. Works similar to the old locking 4wd front ubs.
