Default Side car cover

Anybody know where to get a cover for a side car? 've searched and can't seem to find one. I have a California side car Friendship II. Thanks for the help.

Check on Ebay, I saw there are some covers for different models. You might get lucky.

Thanks for the link and reply. The covers listed seem to be model specific and wouldn't fit mine dangit! Maybe someone else has another idea or source.

And welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay here.

Check their website, I'm sure they will direct you in the right direction, a call will also get results. Just search for California sidecars and Google will get results.

You could have one made. Check out a boat top and seat cover repair shop. These shops make custom covers for boats, planes, pick up truck beds etc etc.

Interested in your setup. I have a 2010 Ultra and looking to get a sidecar. You have the Friendship II by California Sidecars from looking at the pic. How does it handle? What options did you have to put on? Looking for any advise and thoughts.

I went to www.californiasidecar.com and under the Products pull down, I clicked on Friendship II SE and then on "Price Lists" (right side of pafe). Under that link I found this: Matching Motorcycle & Sidecar Covers
F2-22
185.00


So, I'm pretty sure they sell em there. I'd call em at:

Parts & Service: (434) 263-8866.

Thanks guys. I got one from California Side Car. Looks kinda cheap made, but it works.

SeaDragon, I think the most important option is the electric lean control. To me that is a must have. Without that you would be fighting all ride long to keep in a straight line. You just hit the switch and raise or lower the hack to compensate for the crown on the road. It helps a little in the corners also. I added the light, would not recommend you get that as the bulb went the first week and I can't find a replacement. Would forget about adding the step too. The hack is low enough and when you raise the "hood" the passenger can step right in. I was dissapointed with the pin stripping too. It isn't painted on, it's tape.

I would get the tonneu cover, and it would be nice to have a vent to get some air inside for the passenger.

It does take a little to get used to the handleing. Pulls right an accel, left on decell. If a corner sign says 35 MPH, you better go into it at 35.

Of course fuel mileage drops, but tons of storage.
