Wow this looks amazing. I was just about to pull the trigger on selling my Night Train and buying a Ural, when I realized I could have my cake (Night Train) and eat it too. I'll definitely be buying a side car from Trans moto. Mind PM'ing me how much you paid in total roughly. Just trying to figure out what sort of budget I should plan for.

Before you buy a Ural do your home work and ride one they are Junk. Take you time do it right you can put a sidecar on anything and do well with it. Budget depends on the Hack you want, new or used each has good and bad. On a smaller bike some of the more expensive options are not really needed or may not be needed. Things Like EEC. and raking it

That looks great. What brand is it? Make sure you check you mounts from time to time make sure nothing comes loose. You may wish to consider a steering dampener . I recommend an adjustable one they are not that expensive.

You have assembled one impressive looking Hack there. The frame looks like it could be a Velorex 562 0r 563. It would be great if you could post details on the hack. Did you do any front end work to modify tail. If not how does it steer. Details work of art and function like that needs to be shared.

Thanks guys its a TM-202 sidecar from Trans-moto here in Canada. Bikes a 2010 crossbones. Paint was done by Baker Boyz here in Edmonton, Ab who is probably one of the best painters this side of the border. I am having some issues with the steering dampener. Bike drives relatively straight but you get the odd time where it wants to steer its own way. I for the life of me cannot find anything up here that will fit for this springer. I have heard of some old schooling wraps for springers but don't know much about them.

Road condition will affect steering . When road has a crown to it the bike or sidecar at different heights can require you to adjust to it a bit. If you trying to install a damper there are many ways and you can attach one to any setup

One of the issues I have is there is no steering dampener made for the springer front end.

A steering damper can me made to fit any front end. It is not that hard.
