My sources suggest that perhaps 20 units (including original prototype) were made in South Africa 1981? to 1986?.īetween 29 and 50 units were made by California Sidecar (CS) in California 1989 to 1990.ĩ2 units were made by EZS in Holland (The Netherlands) 1991 to 1999 (I have a breakdown by destination country of where these 92 went).Īnd perhaps 4 or 5 of the 4th generation Single Sided Swingarm (SSS) Flexits were independently produced after Hannes Myburgh left EZS in 1999 from 2000 to 2005 before all production ended. It is hard to know (accurately) the total number of Flexit units produced from 1981(?) to 2005. The intriguing story of the Flexit is a traveling story that migrates from South Africa to Europe, to California, and finally back to Europe. my K100RS 4-valver doesn't do that.Including part for mounting on a BMW K75 ( plug and play).

If he is still a member of this group I can let him know that it has, sort of, been resurrected by one of the previous group's American Members. The member 'DadofHedgehog' was bemoaning the demise of the Flexit Sidecar Owners Yahoo Group. Courtesy of Covid I have spent a lot more time surfing the net than I normally would and the other night came across a topic on this site referring to the Flexit sidecar. This wasn't without much heart-rending, we loved our K's.Īnyway, to the point of this message. Unfortunately, no end of attempts to dampen this failed and eventually we moved to a Honda ST1100 for the sidecar to fit on. Sadly, we found that the engine vibrations from the K100 carried through to the Flexit, and with the screen closed produced a bad 'body boom'.
