TRI-WHEELED TRIUMPH: LC Fabrications Stunning Sidecar



Written by Tim Huber.
Existing today primarily as a novelty genre of sorts, sidecars are without a doubt one of, if not the most seldom-seen style of customs. Plenty of well seasoned shops have never ventured into the three-wheeled territory, and it?s not too hard to see why. The shift from a single-track vehicle to a machine of the three-wheeled variety fundamentally alters the performance and riding characteristics, plus the prospect of adding an extra third?s worth of work onto what would otherwise be a completed build is understandably less-than-inviting to a lot of builders. 

Despite running the shop for well-over-a-decade, Jeremy Cupp of LC Fabrications fell into the category of sidecar build virgin, though recently the side-hack stars would align for the Virgina-based builder, ultimately prompting LC?s inaugural sidecar.  ?The project probably began eight-or-so-years-ago, a buddy of mine had the tub sitting in his front yard and for some reason I felt like I needed it. I swapped him for a unit Triumph frame and took her home. Over time as my shop got busier, the sidecar got buried under stacks of other more serious projects,? Jeremy tells us. 

And the so-called ?tub? would have likely remained relegated to a dark corner of LC Fab?s facility had Jeremy not needed a utilitarian shop vehicle. While most people would have probably opted for a Sprinter van or something of that sort, Jeremy isn?t most people, and instead he decided what LC needed was a side-hack.
