Couple of questions for the pro's and long time guys out there.

I see a lot of Harley Baggers showing up that have been raked and cut, right up to the extreme, 42 degree overall rake, 7 degree trees and 26" front wheels. Would this be beneficial to sidecar/bike handling or a disaster?

Next question is the Harley Roadglide has a frame mounted fairing, what would the pros and cons be versus a fork mounted fairing in a sidecar application.

If my bike sells I'm really thinking of a Roadglide with a Liberty car, could be a great combination for me.

Thanks in advance.

The radical custom baggers make miserable rigs in my opinion. The oversize front wheels reduce braking efficiency greatly and the front end geometry is designed for straight ahead travel, not reduced trail for quick steering.
A Roag Glide/Liberty combo would be a nice piece. Throw in Pete's trees with the deal.

Yep

Take the advise of hack'n.

Mine is a Liberty with Petes triple trees, and it is great!
