I was curious about this too a while back and found http://www.libertysidecars.com/ while searcing. I like liberty because it has a more vintage look that matches the slim.

Theres also california sidecar and texas side car but dont really like the look.

Im curious to see people who actually own one

Ya I have seen Liberty, I also like them for the same reason. It would be nice to talk to someone who has used side cars, I will only be using it for shorter trips to bring my dogs along with us instead of my wife driving them there. Would just like to no if they are easy to take on and off? Thanks for your help.

If you are wanting to run a side car I would suggest building a dedicated side car rig. Me and a friend pulled the sidecar of of his dads sporty and the frame was never straight again. We ended up putting the sidecar right back on because the bike wouldn't ride true.

Yeah, when you properly set up a sidecar rig, you don't just unhook it to ride solo. The bike has to be aligned and in some cases the fork rake has to be changed in order to steer properly since you don't counter steer into turns. Sidecar rigs are pretty much a dedicated upgrade unless you want the bejezus scared out of you when you slap on the sidehack.
