Geez I guess I am nuts ..trying to run a sidecar business and pushing the tractor suppy stuff...lol. Hmmm guess we could repackage that stuff, up the price and supply a fancy decal to make everyone think they really got something special huh? Naaa .
and then a boutique line of officially licensed "House of C. Stanley Motorsports" clothing. Heck, just get rid of some of the shop equipment and you'll have plenty of room for the jewlery and jackets... naaa, what was I thinking?

Sounds like a plan Bob. We do have some neat hats. Operators are standing by (well voice mail anyhow)
Looks like I brought out the old time thinkers around here, nothing like using your imagination to make something out of nothing, I have had time to look over everyone's idea's and a few of my own , now the hard part is to decide how to put them all together ,trouble is more keep popping up, so I guess I'll just cut the thing in half, go to tractor supply and buy the place out, looked at their web sight and found all sorts of goodies to make mounts and God knows what else, just hope it don't look like a John Deere when I get done, 'course always did like green and yellow, anyway thanks again for all the info and suggestions, daveg
Daveg,
Don't feel bad about it looking like a John Deere. Here is a mockup of a project we are into. Nose and fender are off a John Deer Gator. (Nose will be narrowed). Seat is John Deere. The place where the gator fender originally was will be filled with aluminum diamond plate. There will be a stake body of sorts on the rear in top of the aluminum box shown to look 'gator like'. The Bike, an '81 Wing, will be painted Green and Yellow to match. All wheels will be Yellow. It is for a local dealer and will be used for parades and local deliveries when possible. Frame is a modified Friendship I that is converted to a splined torsion bar suspension with tilt adjustment.
