Hello David and welcome seeing as that was your 1st post.

After you post a couple of more times to satisfy the anti bot rule and prove you are really a person you will be able to post some pics of the mighty F6.

But a question if I may.

I assume that unlike me you are in the US of A?

If so in which state? 

Members live all over as are people who manufacture subframes etc.

Being down under and a fabricator by trade I would just lay on the ground and look at the bikes undercarriage till I came up with some random design.

Then cut up some scraps of steel and hot glue them together.

Drill holes in them and bolt to said beast.

But there maybe a better way.

So I will wait with baited breath till the closer cousins chime in.

WELCOME to the greatest show on Earth, and the 2nd and 4th planets.

Having owned the most infamous 2013 Honda F6B, I know those bikes well, and it will make a great tug for attaching a Champion Escort ll to it.

As my Australian friend said, tell us where you are, so we can better direct you to the proper subframe builder, to get that Sidecar attached to the bike.

I have an early Escort that was getting in the process of getting redone. How big a project do you want to get into.

David @dave-mc....color me confused....I thought you already have a Champion Escort ll, and were looking for the correct way to attach it to your 2013 Honda F6B.

Are you now, or still, looking for a sidecar that can be attached to your Honda F6B ???

@miles-ladue sorry to confuse you, but I am looking for a side car. I was looking at one in Massachusetts the champion escort two and I don’t think the guy is too receptive. I don’t know what’s going on, but anyway, yeah I am. I don’t have a side car yet, but I am looking to put a sidecar on my motorcycle so if you have any ideas or anything you have in mind I would appreciate it thank you

David @dave-mc....we have questions....in an effort to better guide you, and give you our best opinions.

Example: Have you ever driven a Sidecar rig before ?

Have you ever owned a Sidecar rig in the past ??

What are your plans for using a Sidecar rig ???

What is your motorcycle riding experience/ history ????

These things are important, so we know how to better serve you.

Many of us believe that a first time Sidecar pilot should look for a complete Sidecar rig that is already Road Ready, one that is well enough built and aligned that you won't kill yourself on the first ride.

Doesn't need to be an expensive one.... but also not a dirt cheap piece of junk.

There is a learning curve for most (not all) first time Sidecar operators, as it's quite different than riding a 2 wheeled motorcycle.

If you jump past all the questions I posted above, then my suggestion will be to contact Hannigan Sidecars in Murray, Kentucky, look at their website, go to them, have a Sidecar built by them, they will do all the work to install it to your 2013 Honda F6B, and..... you're done.

But please.... consider my questions above.
