gamba Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hi Guys. Anyone here to help me with updated information where to get a new good quality Saleng here on Phuket.

Paangjang Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Just go for the new Ford Wildtrack mate, or if you can't handle the waiting time you can pickup the new vigo champ tomorrow. Saleng, best left to the Thai's me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadJoe Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Tiger is the only manufacturer which makes a truly legal sidecar. In Phuket the police have stated publicly that as long as the salang has lights on it, they will allow them on the roads. Any motorbike shop will be able to direct you to a place which makes them. They start at about 5000B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone knows one who makes a god one with brakes. The police allow sidecar but the insurance NOT so easy. Edited March 9, 2013 by gamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunta71 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I met an American building sidecars north of Chiang Mai that have the sidecar wheel leaning in concert with the bike as it turns. I cannot contact him but he had learned to build them in his dad's shop in the 60's. Hope to see a few of these around someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honoluabay Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 There's a guy near the Pad Thai shop in Kata karon hill. Great for 6000 bht only took 7 days to get. Works great, not as easy to drive, but you get the hang of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradflorescu Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The guy who builds salengs is named John and he runs a guest house in the Old Town of Chiang Mai. I think he does this for a hobby, not for a living. However, I've seen one of his creations and it looks very solid. If any of you guys are interested, I can get his contacts through some common friends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
