THE INSIDE STORY

Tube work 1

Lengths of 1.5in mild steel tube is the raw ingredient for the chassis and frames of all Watsonian-Squire sidecars. The tubing arrives in raw lengths and is cut and bent on site.

Machining 2

Another key task is machining parts for the sidecar chassis and the clamps for the fitting kits.

Welding 3

Chassis tubes are clamped into a purposebuilt jig for each model then welded in place.

Getting it together 4

All assembly work is also done on-site by Watsonian’s small but dedicated eight-strong team. Fitment to the customer’s bike usually takes three days, but can be longer depending on the model.

Final touches 5

The screen comes in high or low options and customers can also specify a hood for all-weather sidecar fun.

100% British 6

The fiberglass shells are made in Redditch and the wheels are supplied by Hagon. Everything else is done on-site.
