Help identifying articulating sidecar frame
Hi, I have recently acquired a sidecar frame (only) along with two Goldwings that I have since sold. The frame is articulating, with the rear mount connected to the wheel via a tie rod. There are adjustable stops for the articulation. The rear of the tub sits on a leaf spring but the wheel is not sprung. It once had a custom aircraft styled fuselage like a WWII bomber, which was very cool but is long gone, per the previous owner.
The frame is sturdy and professionally made. It doesn't appear to be a home-made but one never knows as there are some talented people out there.
There are no names or numbers on the frame. I don't have a tub for it.
I am probably going to sell it but have no idea of its value. My current two bikes, a '13 Multistrada and '82 Turbo Suzuki GS1100E would handle it fine but I think it belongs on a Goldwing as the mounts are already set for it. I kept it because the Goldwing buyer had no interest.
I imagine this is much better than the non articulating type, Years back I owned a 1951 BMW R51/2 with a Dneper body that I bought in Greece, and it was a bit of a handful to ride, but fun.
Hoping the images are visible. Thanks in advance for any info!
