question
anyone else but me have a moline sidecar? i've not seen or heard of another one.
I've heard of and seen many Minneapolis Moline tractors. Does that count? 😉
Howsabout some pictures of this Moline? Im familiar with the tractor (ugly orange, almost like an Allis-Chalmer). Never heard of the sidecar tho.
i have a moline, like you i have never seen another one, though at a rally one time i was shown a snap shot of a moline that did not make it to the rally because the motorcycle had problems, so there at least three of us. they were made by moline sidecar, at la luz, new mexico during the 1980s, mine was and is mounted with universal type clamps, at a dealership that sold milwaukee products, and obviously had no experience mounting sidecars on a 1200 goldwing, i wish you good luck mounting yours.
glad to know there is at least one or two. i'll try to attach the advert i have but i don't have actual pics of mine. i'll try to get some. mine is being built right now. the frame is done and the mounting is pretty much done. still have to paint the tub. getting the hinges and latches rechromed and the bumpers are already done. is your car the ultra? on mine the word is cut into the back bumper.
i think ultra was the only model they made, it looks like a knock off of a moturiste, which i, think was dutch or french, the deck hinges on the moturiste were closer to the windshield, which would make getting in and out a little more difficult . i dont have a back bumper.
the back bumper is pretty cute. i'll try and get a pic of it and put it on here. does yours have a windshield? mine is missing and i have a top for it but the windshield has to fit just right. i would love to find someone who hasa windshield or actually i really need a paper template so i can get one made.
i have a windshield, i could make a template, but no guarantees.
i would love to have a template ... if its not too much trouble it may or may not fit mine .. if it does it will save me a lot of work thanks very much
here is a pic of the rear bumper
your sidecar looks the same as mine, earlier ones had two vertical tail lights, and a different fender, love the bumper. i will take a shot at making a template this weekend, bear in mind , it is on my sidecar and has fastening hardware sticking through it. enjoy the weekend.
the template is made, where do i send it?
Here are a couple of pages from my file on the Moline Ultra. Big surprise, they were made in New Mexico!
