I have an unused 2009 Champion Daytona sidecar. I am planning to buy a 2025 Goldwing to build a rig.
I need to buy the bike side mounting kit. Can anyone tell me if the Goldwing frame has changed from 2018 to 2025. My preferred mounting kit supplier is unsure, as they have not yet worked with a 2025.
Thanks
Chris. H.
Welcome, Chris! You're asking a great question and I'm not sure if anyone here has experience to yet answer your question other than the folk at TSC. Let' see how this goes.

Ha.....I say to you, Sir Thane.
@bannerguy....Mike....has either a 2023, or a 2024Wing, and the frame on the 2023/2024 is identical to the frame on the 2025.
Hannigan's Motorsports did his full installation on his bike.
A leftover, unused Champion Daytona 2+2 is a primo sidecar.....right Sir Thane ?
So attaching it to a 2025 Wing is ideal.
Depending on where Chris Herriots lives, and....whom his preferred sidecar person is, he might ask Hannigan's in Murray, KY is they want to build him the attaching mounts.
Edit: confirmed that Mike @bannerguy has a 2023.....also confirmed that the 2023 frame is the same as the 2025 frame.

@miles-ladue I didn’t want to call anybody out directly but had a strong hunch 
.
@chris, YES the Champion Daytona 2+2 is an amazing car. Lots of good things about it and SCORE finding an uninstalled one from 09! Keep us updated on the build.

Hello all, new member here, Bob from Pittsburgh PA. Just wanted to introduce myself and my rig, 2018 Goldwing Tour with Hannigan SP2. Look forward to chatting and hope to meet on the road sometime soon. Can't make the meet this weekend sorry to say.
We have the mounting hardware you need for the wing at tsc! Would love to help out with your build!

Confirming what Miles already confirmed - sorry, a day (or two) late and a dollar (or three) short.
The Hannigan frame is great!
Good luck with the build and anxious to see how it turns out!
I have finally got a 2025 Goldwing, and Installation kit from Hannigan. Its now a bit cold up here so may not be finished until spring. Will let you know how it goes and include pics. Chris
Seems the time for projects in the states, when stuff gets icy.
My preference these days here in WA is to stay out of the heat.
Please keep us updated with pictures from your backyard, garage, shed or private industrial complex.

Chris, this is why Gordon Gerbing produced his line of Gerbing Heated Clothes....not just for riding...but you can use it in your garage to stay warm whilst working on your motorcycles. Just need a battery pack on a roll-around shop stool, or a very long cord from the 12v battery sitting on the workbench to your heated clothing.
And, did you get a 2025 Goldwing....or a 2025 Goldwing Tour ?
And with DCT transmission, or Manual transmission?

Did you get the hannigan kit that attaches to the kickstand off the lower rear mount? Like the one I fixed for the president of this groups goldwing?
I've come to the conclusion that for a bike not designed for a sidecar it's not worth the hassle of buying fittings, it's far cheaper and easier to make basic fittings and weld them to the frame of the bike, as is done with a bike deigned to be a sidecar puller.
Most sidecar fittings are a rip off.
