No personal experience with California Sidecars, but I have seen them installed on a couple of bikes and they look like an excellent product!
I had a 99 Ultra with a HD sidecar and I had a blast with it. It was much more fun than I ever imagined driving a hack would be.
I purchased the rig so that my wife who has Multiple Sclerosis could enjoy riding again. I enjoyed taking her out until she became too weak to hold her head up anymore and I ended up selling it.
I've got a 94 Road King with a Champion sidecar on it. I thought it was a California due to the similarities between the two! Nice feature of the flip up top, easy entry, easy exit - really does attach in 20 to 30 minutes after your initial set up. Mine was set up with the bike prior to me owning it, so I don't know how much screwing around with the adjustments was done.
