Default what it be like to ride bike with sidecarr

you can't run a four point with the Harley rig because they never made it, the only way would be to mount the body on a after market frame, something I've never seen.

The reason Harley never made a 4th point mount is if they did it would bend the frame on the motorcycle and it has to flex! Ask any one that really knows hacks and you will get the same answer.

Sorry your post was a little unclear to me. I know how the frame on my rig works. To op check out a harley rig and all of the more advanced after market rigs and get what will work best for you and your dog and just drive it! You'll love it!!

Many years ago I put together a '67 with an old model hack.
It was a gas, but it changes everything.
They are very heavy and you had to change the engine sprocket and front forks.
3 speed with reverse is a bad idea.
Your old lady can get out and push if you need to go backwards.
I am presently restoring a '65 rig for my old age.

Its not that you are not understood. Everyone just dont agree with you. Your point is taken . Sorry if everyone doesnt agree with you but were not your wife and dont care if you like it or pout. I think your wrong btw. I think you should try a one point attachment using scotch tape.
