I don't think harley made no side cars except maybe in world war twice.
look for some kinda data tag on the thing.
btw, I got a bonnie with a s/c which is almost as cool as my 'bones.

Sorry can't help ya OP but this is a cool pic and sweet looking rig. Plenty of people would appreciate seeing this as opposed to the minions that keep posting Victory threads in Off Topic. Have you ever posted this there? Very cool.

Harley made sidecars for big twins up until a few years ago when the Tri Glide started being made in house. The complete rig was called the TLE. HD did not sell an OEM rig for Sportsters that I know of.
