what year? my dad tried one on a 2014 FXDL, fit up ok but just did not feel comfortable, also the later models have a bank angle sensor which will shut off the motor in the event of a drop over, but it will also do it with a sidecar around a sharp corner due to the lateral thrust and the program can not be changed in the computer to eliminate that, the touring models can have the computer program changed though.

It has been done. Places like DMC can out one on anything.
Bank angle can be shut off in ECM. Just have to have the right dealer.

this was a DMC, the guy there said had to be done at harley dealer, we took it there and 2 dealers said the program in the dyna computer can not be changed to sidecar mode, the touring models yes. anyway dad ended up selling it and the dealer separated the bike and side car and sold them separately.

Near house
This is my ‘75 FXDXi (Superglide Sport), which was my first bike with a sidecar. In this case, a Transmoto sidecar.

No problems over the 3 years I had it on.

Dealer lied it can be shut off becomes a bigger issue on 2018 and newer. Anyone with a centurion type ECM/BCDM type tool can do it. I turn mine on and off my self. On 2009 and down you can replace the BCM with one for a sidecar and remount it to work perfectly.
Simplest way to put it they are not being truthful.
My sidecar that was on the 2017 is now going on the 2020.
