Military Accessories for Russian MotorcyclesMilitary Accessories for Russian Motorcycles• Does it stir your heart when you see a sidecar with a machine gun, or
watch an old re-run of “Rat Patrol”? Motorcycles have been going to war, as long as there have motorcycles around to go to war. In amilitary conflict, any bike will do if it’s reliable, and Russian bikes are purpose-built to withstand just about anything. First came the M-72, next Ural, and then Dnepr, all intended as military machines. We’ll look at all the parts needed to militarize your Russian bike with sidecar. Needless to say, we may have missed a few things. Please write us if you have more additions.
• Whenever Russian motorcyclists get together, they naturally flock to the militarized rig. There’s something about a machine gun mount that attracts everyone, sets it apart. Even at re-enactments, the motorcycle with a machine gun is a natural hit.
• I’ve tried to gather information to help those who are consideringadding weapons to their rig, starting with machine guns and ending with lights and shovels. Even adding ammo boxes and panniers helps to add storage space. Finally we examined Ural’s Gear-Up with its impressive array of weapons. The only thing left is the “potato gun”attachment.
• I’ve included comparison charts indicating current prices within each group.
• We’ve also included suggested websites for Russian motorcycle accessories.
