Mounting a Texas sidecar
well one beer and 4 hr. later the sidecar is on the H.D.. I took it down the road and no pulling except when giving it some gas. Then just a littel. Now tomorrow I will put the squar and strate edge to it and check alinement. Had her up to about 50 MPH and no problems. It's good to back rideing a sidecar.rudy

Hey rudyr: Didn't you say you preferred to mount the sidecar on the Triumph? What made you change your mind? Please post a pic(s)-we all want to see. Congrats on the new rig.

Your or right. I did want to put on my America ,but I just couldn't stand it sitting their in the box. And I had the subframe for the H.D.Rudy
Well I belive I've got the Ranger line up . Got almost a half bulb tip out on the bike and 3/8" toe in on the sidecar wheel and the frame is level side to side with a little tipe down forward. A really good trick painter said he woould paint the top part of the box and finder for $300.00 next week. So I should be good to Go.rudy
One beer in four hours...you've got a lot more concentration and will power then I do :).
I didn't see the H.D. model you put it on. I've got a Kawi. Vulcan 900 with a Texas sidecar and I love it. I've had it set up since Dec. and I'm still tweaking the adjustment but I now have a pretty good understanding on what adjustment change the feel of the rig. My only concern right now is that the nose is down a little more then I like the look of. I haven't fixed it yet because I didn't want to screw up the toe in or bike lean out just to fix it. But I'll probably tackle it this weekend.

I've got a 07 road glide, it has the big'er engin and 6 th. gear. Righ now it look's like 38 miles to gal. with mid-grad gas with the side car. I CAN'T MADE IT TO THE NATIONAL THIS YEAR I'M KIND OF COMMITTED TO A RALLEY IN COLO. THAT SAME WEEK-END. And you know us Harly rider's we have got to go to Sturgis ND. in Aug. But I am going to join this Club.Rudy
