Thought I would show a couple of pics of my new sidecar rig.
It's a 2011 Limited with a factory 2011Ultra sidecar mounted. Less than 10,000 miles. Last year of the Harley sidecar.
I have had it a week so far and there is a learning curve to riding it. What do you think.

 

Nice looking rig ... take your time learning how to ride a different way. Keep an eye on the rear tire, sidecars are a hungry animal and can eat them up quicker than you might be use to.

 

i like it . Did you do anything with the tranny gearings ? I tried 2 side cars one with low gearings pulls like nothing attach to it . Enjoy

 

Nice rig! I understand the learning curve, it does take some miles to get used to it, but once you are comfortable with it, you will have a blast. For some great info about sidecars, check out www.sidecar.com.

 

It's gorgeous. How is the learning curve going? I'm thinking of getting a Velorex 563, and a XL1200R or A Triumph Bonneville T100 to pull it. My Golden Doodle needs a ride.

 

No reason not to put a car Tire on the rear.

 

Well ... first off it's Black :>) I like the matching stripe ... Yes there is a real learning curve ... A friend ( Jim Bailey who use to own Ft. Wayne HD ) was a master at riding the hack rig ... He had advertising on the bottom of his and would flip the scooter up exposing the advertising !

 

After nearly 1000 miles I really like it.
I'm not sure of the gearing it has, it was purchased together from Harley. Does anyone know if the factory sidecar bikes have a gearing change? I do know the factory installs a different rear brake master cylinder that mounts between the front down tubes, a shorter rear brake lever, a lower fairing modified for the braceing and different tilt sensors.

The more I ride it the more I like it.

 

Beautiful set-up. Love side car rigs.

 

That's a good looking rig. You can fit a car tire on a Harley rim and that's the way to go for the pusher and side wheels, way more mileage. If you haven't tried taking your hands off the bars yet, be careful if you do, some sidecar rigs like to do tank slappers with no pressure on the bars at some speeds, without a steering damper.

You'd think they'd be fun to spin in the snow, but do it too fast and they like to flip, even turning left, the back end goes over in a forward flip to the right. If you use it for nearly all your shopping, errands and visiting like I tend to do in summer (this is salt country in winter), don't forget to put the battery tender on the cage. Mine has been too weak to start a couple times.
