2018 BMW R1200GS w/LBS Leading Link...w/Hannigan Dualsport sidecar
Thanks for the additional information. I have been looking over the Hannigan site to get a better idea of what their rigs are like. I see why they have such a good reputation.
@FlyingMonkeys I will DM you about this.
Posted by: @ivarrThis does indeed look nice.
What is the tub's brakes setup?

I asked Hannigan which brake calipers they used on my 2020 Dual Sport sidecar. Their response:
"We use Brembo Calipers and Brembo Brake Pads on all our products."

This is accurate but from other's experience, dealers of Brembo products can't/won't look up a brake pad or caliper by model number. They can only search by motorcycle the Brembo product is applied to so sidecar brakes and pads can be challenging to purchase replacements for.

Ok Monkey's how about a cautionary tale ? A sidecar is worth what anyone's willing to pay for it and it couldn't be duplicated for 28$ k but for that much money I'd expect a 15" pusher wheel lots of expensive aux lighting, and a NL built sidecar.
The bike is worth 10k is the rest of it worth 18 probably as it's nicely done but it's a tiny market once you get by 20k $ .

Dave, thanks for your thoughts on valuation, and you may be right, however....in this case....the seller of this 2018 BMW R1200GS Sidecar rig already has a buyer that has committed to it, and will be flying in on February 28th to finalize the deal.....and agreed to the price of $ 28,000.00
And Dave, this rig does have a 15" pusher wheel on the tug, and has lots of expensive aux lighting.

It has a 165/15 automotive rear wheel, Clearwater Darla LED lights (with yellow lens covers) in front, hyper lights below liscense plate, the Hannigan spoiler with LED lights, and a PDM-60 power distribution module.
Just my 2¢ - selling sidecar rigs is one of patience and planning - having sold over 6 bikes and one sidecar advertising with many many clean pictures and a detailed write up covering everything is a way to get a real buyer excited. You are trying to evoke emotion in a prospective buyer. I always asked the buyers what was one of the biggest reasons that made then pull the plug when buying my bikes and it was always the plethora of detailed pictures. No need for the "Bring a Trailer" volume but more is better and of course selling on as many sites as possible to gain maximum exposure.
BTW the rig looks excellent unfortunately no more room in my garage next to my two current rigs . . . 😎
@miles-ladue How do I find out more about this ride?. I was too slow on the BMW out of Colorado. Is it posted anyplace other than here?
Ryan, it's only posted here.
You can contact the seller... Jim Gross...and if you need his email address, it's:

Posted by: @ryanrides@miles-ladue Thanks. Msg sent. Probably too late, but we'll see.
Ryan, I do know that it is NOT sold YET....the current prospective buyer is scheduled to come see the sidecar rig sometime later this month, and if he likes it, he will make the deal.
HOWEVER, it is always good to contact the seller, either "jump the broom", or get in line, and if you can beat the current prospective buyer to the punch, or wait to see if that deal goes through, or falls through, then you are ahead of others.
Example: in the case of my selling my 2018 Honda Africa Twin sidecar rig that is still currently being built, I not only have a buyer that has paid a deposit, and is awaiting the completion of this build so he can come pick it up, but I also have 3 other interested parties that are all in line, waiting to see if the current deal goes through, and they have all shown serious interest in my Africa Twin rig, so....Go For It.
