The COC offers technical advice that is in addition to that
offered by the manufacturers, importers and the dealers.
We do not offer specific technical advice here, since a poorly executed
modification can result in danger to the rider, the passengers and other
road users. Advice is given to club members that includes advice on
safety, but even so the user of the vehicle is always ultimately
responsible for the safety of the vehicle being used. The Cossack Owners
Club strives to ensure that any
modification advised on will be safe and that the modifier is
aware of the safety implications of the modifications and also
any possible effect on new (or second hand) motorcycle warranty or
increased wear on other parts.
We do offer a few ideas that may be useful advice on a
varying amount of subjects.

We strive to offer accurate
and professional advice that will:-
«
Increase the safety of operation of the
motorcycle - e.g. improvements to lighting,
brake
performance.
« Increased reliability and durability - e.g.
oil recommendations and conversions to
electronic ignition systems.
« Improve handling - e.g.
sidecar geometry even
for non-standard sidecars.
«
Alternative
carburation (mainly for the
older models) to improve fuel economy and engine
smoothness.
«
Alternative
Brake Lining material for brake shoes
The COC does not specifically support the fitment of lesser
engines such as BMW, VW or Citroen, but may offer engineering
advice to those in need. To ensure safety, the fitment of higher
performance engines must be matched with an increase in
performance of the brakes and tyres and also possibly other
components such as forks and lights.
