Exclamation Sportster Sidecar

The wife has a 883L and wants to put a sidecar on it. I'm looking for some input. There is a place in North Texas that makes custom sidecars for Sportsters and other models. I want to know if anyone has a sidecar or knows someone who does and what thier thoughts are on this.

Thanks for any help!

I have a friend who has a couple and loves them. They aren't "motorcycles" any more and won't ride & handle like one but they can be a lot of fun. Freedom Sidecars is a good place for info.

Sidecars are sweet. Once I was googling if anyone put one on an iron 883. I did find one that was a bolt on. No idea on the info since it was a long time ago. But they are out there.

There is a 3-wheeler forum here on HDF, so call in there to see what they are up to. I suspect there may be a dedicated sidecar forum out there somewhere. And here is one, which is pretty darned obvious: United Sidecar Association!
