Picked up my 07 Flhtcu/Sidecar, it's a real Beauty. The ride home from Dallas was "interesting". It really handles better than I thought it would. But, the "pucker factor" was alive and well a couple of times! Anyhow made it home without bending, breaking or tearing up anything, so in my books that's a positive.
70 mph on the Interstate, no problem, but the turns, it's like square dancin with a drunk fat gal, you just got to muscle it around where you want it to go!!
I'm still glad, I went ahead and got it, I had a ball riding it home! I feel the turning issues can be takin care of with a few pushups and maybe one of the TriGlide frontend setups.
Beautiful rig! I had a scary first couple of rides myself. After a while you will gain confidence.

Best description of sidecar handling I've ever read! No offense to any drunk, fat, square dancin' gals who might be reading this.
Nice lookin' rig BTW.
Very nice looking rig. We've got a 2007 also without the fancy paint job!! Enjoy your new ride -- we really enjoy ours.
It doesn't take long to learn that a sidecar rig is no longer a motorcycle. More nimble than 4 wheels but not as nimble as 2 wheels.
Awesome rig man!!
