My dad has always ridden a sidecar, and now I am looking too get one for my bike. I am looking at attaching a new Side car to my Bonneville and building a WW2 style bike. However I am not really familiar with Sidecars. So far I have it narrowed down to three different types. The Cozy, Inder, and the Spyder. Attached are the links. The Cozy and Inder are similar. Anyone with experience in this area your help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!!
You should maybe consider this Watsonian sidecar currently up for bids on ebay. Pic--
Also, not sure if this helps, but here's a pic of a nice Triumph rig from Alberta that I got to sit on for a bit at last week's USCA rally.
Hey! Wait a minute! That's the same kind of sidecar in both pics! Oooooh! That's pretty!
Then there's this one--
The Orange Watsonian on that Triumph triple looked mah-vel-us, just MAH-VEL-US!

+1!! Of course, I'm partial to orange tho.
Here's a Texas sidecar from down in Austin. The owner has indicated he might want to sell it:
Lee
MB5+TW200+CRF250L+GTV300+INT650
XL883R w/Texas Ranger Sidecar
Zuma 50F + Burgman w/Texas Sidecar<Mrs. SwampFox
I've mounted 563 Velorexs on several Bonnys. They're a good match .

We have done many of our M72D sidecars on these bikes. Here is a link showing a photo of one http://www.dmcsidecars.com/sidecars/m72d/
For the T-100 we make the sidecar such that it sits lower. The 19 inch wire spoke wheel we looks very similar to the stock Triumph wheel. The sidecar comes with bike specific mounts not "universal" one size fits nothing frame clamps. We offer a disk brake that is easy to mate up to the Bonneville unlike some of the other sidecars you are looking at.
As you are looking to make it look like a WW2 bike this sidecar would work out very well as it is styled off of the Steib M72 sidecar that was best known durring WW2 on German bikes.
This sidecar is made in the USA buy us, not over sea's like the Cozy and Velorex sidecars.
We also make new from billet triple tree's to lower the steering effort with the sidecar.

Thanks for the great pics, and all of those look great! But sadly I am looking for a little different style than the rocket or watsonian style. I know the Velorex is a good side car because my pop has one on his 70's Yamaha. I am just looking for an older style, That way I can match the Bonnie and the Hack to look like a 40's type bike. I was even entertaining Painting them both Army green.
JayDMC. I do truly love the side care you guys sell. I have looked at them, and they seem like very good care. However they are a tad bit out of my price range.
I have heard various things about the India made ones, and am still concerned. I am thinking about getting into a Motorvation Spyder side car. It has the older style like DMC, and is a little better in my price range. Anyone know anything about that brand??
Thanks everyone for the pics and the input!!!
The base price on the Motovation spyder is less then on the M72D however if you start adding options such as the brake you will find that the M72D comes out about the same if not less. Also we have options for this sidecar that none of the other sidecars mentioned offer such as electric trim, racks, bumper and light packages and more most of which can be added latter if desired. We are holding the rally special of 10 % off until the end of the month.

Jay Think I could contact you directly tomorrow, and see about a quote on one? Because on your website it has the base M72D at $4995.00, while the Spyder T1 is only 4,000.00?
