Mike, that looks good, and I like the slightly darker matte Grey, versus my lighter matte grey/silver .
Looks good with the original front wheel too, versus my 180mm front end.
But.....you know......you will be known as the copycat 
Oh....AND....(there is always an AND).....your bike has one of those "Ultimate " brand seats, whereas mine has a RDL seat.
Ultimate seats is one of the few off-brand seats I tried, removed it after 15 miles and sent it back the same day it had arrived.
I mean, how dare you......How Dare You, I say.........have an IBA license plate backer plate on your bike, Yet get caught sitting on an "Ultimate " seat.
Oh, the Humanity !
Oh,Oh.....no longer in Prague, Czech......now in Nuremberg. Germany.

Haha!! You may recall that after you built yours I sent you an email asking to be first in line if you ever sold your rig - guess I got tired of waiting!!
it’s a good thing we live on opposite coasts!
This is my first Ultimate seat, and I was kinda nervous about it. It’s worked great for me and, like my seat it’s so purdy!!
WOW! 😍 😍 😍
My goodness, what a stunner! If it drives as great as it looks, you certainly have a winner there.
Okay, so first couple of things that catch my attention.
- The tonneau cover that also covers the windshield. Bonus points as it looks like a woven material rather than vinyl. 😎
- They mounted the sidemarker light inline with the headlamp. 👍
- The way the rear of the sidecar matches so well with the rear of the GW without the top box.
Sexy, sexy, sexy. Yowszer! 🤩 Just begging for a glamor shot framed in a large poster size for the office. In all seriousness, this makes me see the Goldwing in a whole new light. Not sure why, but I never saw the aggressiveness to the lines of the bike. But add the sidecar, and it really makes for an aggressive modern look.
Congratulations! 🍻
P.S. Hope your trip home was as beautiful as the rig.
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Thanks! A few kinks to work out, but overall I'm ecstatic!
I picked up the Wing last summer and named him Smokey. Wasn't sure what to do about the sidecar - do I change the name, should the sidecar have it's own name - what to do. On the way home during one of the (many) gas stops I called my wife and explained the naming dilemma. I was kicking around staying with Smokey or changing the name to Shadow. She suggested keeping both - Smokey for the bike and Shadow for the sidecar. So, of course, what else to do while riding and the story of Smokey and Shadow was born. I'm thinking a good title for the book would be "Smokey and Shadow - a Love Story". Anyhow, Smokey is the boyfriend and Shadow is the girlfriend - she follows him everywhere and some might say, they are joined at the hip!
Stay tuned for further adventures!

Mike, are you home yet ?
Before you go tweaking this, and spending money on that, check with me, as I have already been down this road, and my experience with the same bike and same sidecar could save you money, time, frustration, grey hair, loss of appetite, getting in the doghouse,, etc.

Will do - thanks Miles!
I had Hannigan build and install an Arrow on my 2021 BMW R18.
Hannigan are True Professionals and did a Magnificent Job,
and also loaned me the Toyota to run around while i spent 3 days there.
