Default Sidecar?

Has anyone had a sidecar on their Harley? I have a Ural now, and really like the sidecar, but want something a bit faster. Looking at getting a sidecar installed on my Roadking. Wondering if anyone could tell me their experience and any good/bad things about the addition.

Yes, We have several threads on the topic here. Sidecars are amazing . They have a learning curve. Good set ups beat the heck out of the Ural.
Hacks go from fordable to down right expensive.
Good place to start browsing is DMC.

Get some ideas on what style hack you want and price ranges. Used ones are out there but you really need to know what your buying before messing with used. You can come up on the short end real easy.

My wife has a Hannigan sidecar on her '05 FLHT, I had a Hannigan on my '00 Roadglide, and just ordered one for my '16 Roadglide. We love them, been all over the country with them. No problem running 70 MPH all day, except for fuel mileage. You can expect about 20-25% less miles per tank.

Stopping in at Hannigan in Murry KY on our May ride. Doing the home work on adding one to our 2017 RGU. Need to narrow down what sidecar we want .The one we have on one of the others bikes works great but not the right one for the RGU.

The one we are looking at is from Champion.
Wanted one that my wife and the family dog could both go in.

I am getting the raked tree and the reverse as well. The closest shop that can do the work is in Fargo ND, 300 miles away.
