Fast answer is contact DMC http://www.dmcsidecars.com/
It is a journey , it is not easy or cheap. good luck check in on the thread.

Hannigan in Murrary KY is also a great option. They however build their own Tub and selection is limited compared to DMC. This is a Hannigan twin. That was on my 2017 will be repainted and go on the 2020.

A second recomendation for Hannigan, My wife and I both have Hannigan hacks on our bikes, hers is a "classic", mine is a "Supersport".


Both of these are fine for "Highway Speed", we have done plenty of miles on freeways, had mine over 90 a few times, feels solid and steady there, but fuel mileage takes a big hit at those speeds.

A trike does not replace a sidecar two different worlds. . Both have there place but one does not come close to replacing the other.

Get to know some of the salesmen at your local HD shop....they can be very helpful in tracking down a used rig...this is a 95th Anniversary Road King with HD sidecar.
