Ural

First up we have the "leg guards" which are either plastic or metal depending on the company. I ordered a pair, and I have no idea if I bought plastic or metal ones, so we'll see. It's not the best picture of them, but it gives a decent idea of what you get, they'll do a half ass job of blocking the cold but they will for sure block any shit that gets thrown up in the wet.

^ You can also see one example of a spare gas tank mounted on the sidecar. Here's a better view of a tank mounted in the same place:


Now Brent has what he thinks is a 5 gallon can which we'll make mounting brackets for. I am thinking about mounting it off the rear instead of up front.

^ As you can see from that picture I think that mounting it in the back can provide a nice added weight for holding down the frame and the wheel in right hand turns. 



The last thing to do before the weather really turns will be to get a Russian made windshield. Its not the same style that I wish I could have, ie something that bolts onto the frame instead of the handlebars, but its a simple design that will keep the weather off. 

This picture which shows a better view of the fairing (might get a different style, depends what is cheapest). The other thing I like about this picture, well its pretty obvious. You can also see the leg guards in this one.
