They look great. Once you get use to the sidecar you will enjoy it.

That Deluxe looks awesome with that sidecar. Good choice of options on the sidecar too. Thanks for posting!

What details would you like? I bought the rig from my brother who bought it from the original owner. Anytime I call the folks at motorvation are happy to help no matter if I am the original owner or not. I love the car it has shown me a whole new way to ride.

Did you go with a raked tree, or any steering stabilizer. The two I have done did not need the raked tree. Standard ,mounts or anything special. I am not new to sidecars.
Just awhile back put one on my 750 Street . It was a temporary move while I worked on the Fatboy. It worked out a lot better than expect. Worked so well it will be staying on the Street.
Had one on my 1996 FB also. Granddaughter rode over 3000 miles in that that one. I will down the road be looking at putting one on a 2017 RGU.
Oh yes it is a whole new way to ride.

I have a stabilizer it came with but have not mounted it. I am thinking of installing a rake but only because I have some issues with my shoulders and made the mistake of driving a triglide and see how easy it was to steer.

Enjoy the ride and keep posting your experiences. We all learn from what others are doing and it may help interest others in trying one.
On the 1996 FB I did install a steering stabilizer that worked very well
