Hi everyone,

My name is Cyrille, I’m 51 years old and I’m based in France.

I’ve been into Harley-Davidsons for a long time and I collect old HDs more than I probably should — but I guess that’s how this disease works.

My latest project is a 1990 FLHTCU Evo, fitted with an original Harley TLE sidecar.

The setup is pretty old-school but not exactly stock: 1340 Evo, S&S Super E carb, HI-4N ignition, S&S 510V cam, S&S MK45 exhaust, and the whole thing is built as a proper sidecar rig.

The funny part is that bike is not really my bike. It’s my dog’s bike.

My dog Naïkee, a black Chow Chow, is the real owner of the project. The goal is simple: build a solid, reliable Harley sidecar to take him out for rides in proper style. He doesn’t wrench much, but he supervises everything and strongly approves of the sidecar idea.

I’m here to learn, share the project, ask technical questions, and hopefully find some rare parts along the way.

Thanks for having me here.

Ride safe,
Cyrille

@Dood_ltd Welcome to the HDFORUM. Way cool introduction. A shot of that build and Naïkee would be GREAT as a signature.
