It probably won't bolt right up, but you may be able to adapt the fittings it comes with, or may need to buy a few suitable parts. There are various sidecar clubs who can probably help you attach it and set it up correctly, including the imaginatively named United Sidecar Association.

You would obviously benefit from advice and past experience from a suitable sidecar club! Certainly worth asking around. Someone somewhere has done exactly what you are about to tackle!
