Motorvation Spyder SideHack
#1
Motorvation Spyder SideHack
I am considering a Motorvation Spyder sidecar, mainly bc it is located in Iowa and I can get my bike there easy to have them do the install. I considered Liberty but they are on the west coast and that is a long way to go for install.
I am going to install on my 97 Heritage Springer.
My questions
Who has one? Do you like it? How is the quality? How does it ride? How much room for the passenger?
Does it require any permanent changes to the bike, Steel, frame, seats or bags? If I want to remove to go for a ride on 2 wheels how difficult and how obvious is the remaining hardware? How does the paint match up to the original bike paint? Do I need to rake the front end? Anything unique handling wise ( I know side hacks effect handling), looking for anything unique to this design and install.
Thanks in advance
Any pictures would be appreciated. With hotties encouraged. HA!

I forgot something important. Make sure you have a new rear tire on your bike when you get the sidecar installed. I didn't and had to stop in Arkansas to get one installed because sidecars eat up rear tires (wear the tread faster than normal). I think it's because of the weight and the fact that you are no longer leaning to turn.
By the way, tell Mary that John Costner said "Hey", when you see her. And make her take you downtown for lunch... Sibley only has like two restaurants (and one hotel).
