Subframe Question

Dave Shultz · 2026-05-27T21:09:01Z

I have been out of the sidecar scene for many years. Now it seems like every bike must have a subframe. What is the general consensus on sidecar subframes? Are they mandatory? Are any bikes good without a subframe? If they are necessary, where is the best place to get one built? I have a California Friendship II rig I want to mount to a bike for a two year extended journey. I don't want to have any serious problems, so I'm considering a Yamaha in the 1300 or 1600 range. Do you know if any of those do not require a subframe?

I know how to Speak English. So please stop being such a cupid stunt.

Knowing "how to Speak English", and "doing so properly", are two different things.

Thank You for proving my point.

Oh, and have a Nice Day, eh !

I always speak English properly, that's because I am English.
