Nice rig Doug...and that young man sure has a great smile!!
Welcome, beautiful rig, great looking Grandson!
Welcome aboard Doug, tell us more about your rig.

Rig info 01 Sportster 883C , bought in 07 with 4,897 miles. Bike now has 29,000 miles . Just purchased the side car in August. I know its a Velorex but thats all I know. God had a plan for that sidecar after long searching I gave up and did what I should have done to begin with ...Give it over to God. Long story shor t I got the hack off of Ebay , 1 bid of $1225 , drove 60 miles to pick it up . I put a tire on it ,bolt it to the bike and fixed a few wires(4pin trailer plug). The grandson and I have already wore the new tire off , but it was generic and CHEAP. Now I need all three new tires.
Oh Aiden is 2 and a half and a permanent addition to my household so thats why I bought the rig. Since the wife has her own bike this was the perfect solution to keep us riding together 😉

Oh I didn't paint the hack , it was already silver over grey. The paint is near perfect match , i can't see the difference. Only mods to the biek are redneck long shotgun pipes to put the sound out back and jet the carb to accomodate the long pipes

Doing some work over the "winter"
1 cut new windshield ,repainted w/s frame
2 cleaned and repainted the interior fiberglass
3 installed replacement lock on the "trunk"
4 modified the front mount to fit my forward controlls
5 had the frame and the upper handrails powder coated
6 replaced all bolts with stainless, except for the mounts on the bike frame , there I used grade 8
7 sent the metal fender out for dent repair and repaint

Looking good there, wvsporty!
