Hacked, Conversions and Trailering"Harley Sidecar, Conversion Trikes and Motorcycle Pull Behind Trailering Enthusiasts"
A forum for the discussion of your sidecar, Conversion Trike or Pull Behind Motorcycle Trailer.
You ride a two wheeler you drive anything with 3 wheels. I can carry more people and supplies on my rig (motorcycle and sidecar) then you will ever carry on a trike! Do not be mislead by those that have NEVER driven a sidecar rig.
I spent the winter putting a sidecar on my 2002 FXD for the hound - it's a Velorex 700 frame with a homemade body - and I LOVE it! I have occasional knee/ankle problem but riding with the sidecar never bothers me. It handles uneven/loose/slippery surfaces just fine (once you get used to being asymmetrical) and is no problem at all on the highway. I have ridden the FXD with and without the hack and actually prefer 3 wheels to 2 - it is just very relaxing, even touring country roads at low speed - and I always have lots of storage/carrying space with me.
It only takes about 20 minutes to remove the sidecar or 30 to put it back on but I don't think it will be coming off very often.
The trike makes the sidecar obsolete for almost any purpose I can think of. They're cool, but obsolete. Especially with the more affordable Freewheeler now available.
Asymmetrical steering and a seat so low no disabled person can get out of it without a crane? Yeah, obsolete.
Went to the range today.
In my sidecar: Four rifles in cases, two shotguns in cases, four pistols in my range bag, all the ammo, targets and clays we needed, along with a cooler full of ice, water, sodas and sandwiches.
Hey guys I've seen mentioned of an available side car for the Ultra, but I have not found anywhere that offers it. Anyone know who has them & about what they run?
Thanks
I have a 93 HD ultra side car I would sell, it is on a 96 FLHT. pm me if interested.
