I recently purchased a sidecar with the SN 59LE1087. I believed this number 59 meant it may be a 1959 car but it has the spoked wheel which I am being told was a different size axle and not interchangable. It has a fiberglass tub and an eighties fender paint scheme on it. I have tried to do a look up on the SN but have been unsuccesful, can anyone give me some help with the vintage and what year HD bikes it may be compatable with from this SN? Thanks in advance
SN signifies a TLE sidecar fitted for a Road King Classic (which had chrome spoked wheel originally).
Probably a 1987 model.

IF I am understanding this correctly I think what you may have is a 1959 frame with a later year body. With the Serial numbers you have 59 meaning the year it was made, LE is the model as Lonnie mentioned to you earlier, Now the body you say is fiberglass The factory did make some fiberglass bodys in the late 50's and 60's along with the traditional steel body they switched to a newer style in 1968 I believe along with the sidecar fender change. What would help to identify it is a photo of the sidecar
04 you had mentioned in your other thread that you posted some photos I couldn't locate anything of yours in the albums section?
