Continenta­l gets a bit on the side from Watsonian

-

Watsonian now has a fitting kit to attach a sidecar to the Royal Enfield Continenta­l GT 650 Twin. The British sidecar manufactur­er has been a Royal Enfield dealer for more than 20 years and already produces fitting kits for the Intercepto­r 650, Meteor 350, Himalayan and 500cc single cylinder models. Designed and built in Watsonian’s Cotswold factory, the kit consists of a subframe that bolts to neatly under the twin cylinder engine to provide sturdy and secure mounting points for the lower arms that attach the sidecar. The upper arms attach to clamps on existing mounting points on the bike’s frame. Made from tubular steel that is welded for strength, the kit is powder-coated for a long-lasting finish, and all the clamps and bolts are heavy-duty items specifical­ly designed and manufactur­ed for the job. Any sidecars from Watsonian’s range can be attached using the kit. The Continenta­l GT 650 fitting kit sells for £475 and prices for the Prescott Sidecar pictured start at £4895. Watsonian offers a full factory fitting service and is also an official Royal Enfield dealer, so can supply complete outfits.
