RS with RUKO.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

This incredible RS build belongs to a good friend of mine here in my hometown and the bike is amazing, to say the least. This combination of the RS and ROKU sidecar is by far the best engineering I have ever seen on such a vehicle. No expense was spared in the build. All of the details can be found on Bring a Trailer or please feel to contact me directly and I will put you in direct contact with the owner.

Thanks for looking, guys. Hopefully, someone on here ends up with this awesome rig.

Wow! That looks like a proper job, the front suspension is exceptional!

I’m glad I’m nowhere near California…I’d be tempted. Never was into sidecars, but that…I like.

Somewhere I saw a thread about that single sided front suspension. I remember asking about the two caliper front brake.
Yesterday I looked on a few forums but could not find the thread.

Edit: Bad memory, it was a LBS rig and it did not have the single side suspension. It did have the single disk with two calipers.

Does it retain ABS? From what I can see, the answer is no.

Also, how does the brake lever on the left foot work?

Saw this thing on BAT. So glad it got to this forum, I just don’t think the BAT audience will appreciate all the work put into this build.

I found this description in the original ad (note: the original ad contained an error that was later corrected, and the correction is rectified in the following text that I am posting here):

Braking is handled by disc brakes with four-piston Brembo calipers, and a second caliper is mounted on the front disc. A right-side foot pedal which operates the larger front caliper, 40-percent of the motorcycle’s rear-wheel caliper, and one circuit on the sidecar brake. The hand-lever operates the smaller front caliper and the second circuit on the sidecar caliper. The sidecar caliper is adjustable and is regulated by a Tilton proportional valve mounted to the sidecar frame.

I am curious about the ABS also so I sent a note to the owner and will post his answer once I get it.

Thanks CK for the corrected brake information.

I spoke to the owner of the bike and I am told the ABS is still functional and working as designed.
