Sidecar for Rushmore
I have been giving some serious thought into getting a sidecar made for my FLHTCU. I have a 12 year old and 2 small dogs I feel are missing out on some great times.
I have read some threads on sidecars for pre Rushmore but not finding much for Rushmore bikes...I could be an idiot though and not able to find it.
Looking for a company that will be able to make the sidecar look like it came with the bike as far as matching the current wheels, chrome, paint, and style. Also needs to be detachable relatively easily without leaving a bunch of evidence that a sidecar can be attached.
Anyone have any experience, advice, or direction you can steer me in? Any estimate on budget I would need?
Thanks,
Kevin

Not going to be cheap to do it right. Rider I know is hard core side car owner did it to his Rushmore. On his he had to move the radiator lowers a bit by time he got done with every thing he was in it 15K.
Honestly you maybe better off just having a different ride with a side car. I put one on my 1996 FB. My other ride .
Sidecar is a lot more than just bolting one on. You get into raked trees, Steering stabilizers.
They are fun and different. Mine was a project for a granddaughter in a wheel chair so she got to ride.

My Sidecar on the FB came in at just under $5000 when all done. I did not use a raked tree but the steering stabilizer was a good idea. The Python 2-1 exhaust was a bad pick. It will be changed down the road. Not prefect yet but works well for what I wanted it for.

Not an impossible task to do but if your not doing a drop off with check install be ready to do your home work and do a lot of work.
dixonk good luck . keep us posted it will be a journey. It will burn up some time and cash. If you have never ridden a hack . There is a learning curve.
