Default HELP Side car Install

Looking to put a HD-FLE side car on a 1990 FLH. Side car is close to same year. All I have is some loose parts but don't know if I have "all" and need instructions, manual or some illustrations. Can anyone help??

Have you driven a rig before ? Get some experienced advice. I love 'em.
All bikes have different setups. You gotta experiment. However you gotta know what to experiment with and adjust.
Even the local dealer does not know enough "bout settin' up a hack.
JEEEZ.they are fun. Don't give up if you don't like them at first.
Let us know when you "fly the chair."

My hack has four points of connection to the RK. And it came with an "under the frame" mount for the RK. Three of the connections are to this mount. The fourth is to the front tube of the RK frame. Even with the manual it wasn't the simplest of tasks attaching it the first time. After you've got it hooked on you should toe the hack in very slightly and the bike should have just the slightest lean to the left. That will make it track true at speed.

Mine is a blast to ride, I carry the wife, groceries, camping gear, my hunting rifles in their cases, extra clothing, etc.

Be leary of claims that it can be put on and taken off. Yes it can, but after getting mine just right, I wouldn't even consider taking it off and puttng it back on again - too much trouble. But mine is on because of my handicap, I have no reason to take it off. But, they do make a dolly to hold the hack if you did decide to take it off for a while. It is not a small thing and will take up some space in the garage.

They are tricky but seem to be alot of fun. Washington state requires a special test and endorsement for all three wheelers, does PA?
