Sidecars - like Smitty stated previously, they are expensive. We have a DMC Tomahawk SE attached to my old 09 FLHX. We are mid trip [80%..?] on a long roadtrip from British Columbia.

Tomahawk SE was purchased for the lockable trunk and side door. We got it all carpeted, added the wheel brake and the electric trim / camber adjustment as Smitty also mentioned. We had the chrome spears deleted as it made it look more Harley-like. I had installed the3 Progressive Monotubes -1" lowered, to rake the rig, I needed to return it to stock height.

Washington State requires a three wheeled endorsement, and we chose to get some sidecar training for my wife as she was going to pilot the rig. We did the training and she was very glad we had this course under our belts.

I'm planning a ride review / owners review of the sidecar rig in the days ahead. Feel free to contact me regarding the DMC. I can't speak for other makes though...

Good Luck

When I did the 2017 RGU went with a trike front end .That raked it 6 degrees and the longer tubes brought it back level. Extend wheel base 4 inches. This approach split both worlds .
Works great with sidecar attached and rides great with it detached.
Post some pictures of the rig, bet it looks sharp.
