Default New sidecar

Just picked up a 2007 HD Ultra Classic TLE sidecar.

Been looking for a few years now and came across this one.

One owner, in nice shape.
Bike in shop so can't mount it yet. Maybe by New Years.

I've been watching for a sidecar combo...

I found one and then downloaded the install manual for my 09 frame...and decided I'll just get another bike.

Watching my local classifieds.....

Looks almost too good to be true! An LED 'head' light as well?

Yes, the original owner replaced the headlight with the daymaker and added the daymaker spots also. Put one on the the sidecar also.

Don't forget a 6 or 7 degree triple tree too. I had an Ultra Classic with a TLE and it was a real handful until I changed the tree. It was then a pleasure to ride.

Did you align the bike and sidecar ?
How much camber or tilt did you give the bike ? 1.5 degrees +
How about toe ? 3/4" toe in
