Hey folks I just bought a California Friendship ii sidecar for the wifes Ultra Classic. I hope to have it mounted and her comfortable driving in time for the national rally .
Previous owner took the old windshield off and put this cut down version on it. It'll do for now but I was looking to see what goes in all the holes around the body behind the sest , are they just the snaps screwed in for the top?. I definitely won't have time to paint it to match her bike by July but as long as it's functioning that's what matters.
Thanks in advance for any help or pictures of yours.
Cool deal
so has your wife piloted your rig or will this be all new training
I will be looking for you and the Mrs. at the Rally in Corning.
She has rode mine before in a parking lot. But I have a Sportster with a little velorex that comes up easy even though I have over a hundred pounds of counterweight in it. I have never put raked trees on mine because it doesn't bother me so she wasn't real keen on the ride. I did tell her though that with her bike with raked trees and the larger side car it'll be so much easier to drive than mine
Good looking EVO bagger.
95 Ultra Classic Electra glide (30th anniversary Electra glide) only injected Harley that year. Number 515 of 1500
We wish her well. My wife just finished the MSF basic course, and got her endorsement today. She has been practicing with our newly-finished rig in a parking lot over the last 3 weekends. The dog is, as yet, undecided about this new development....
OK folks nows where I need pictures or ides. Getting ready to go to my metal fabricator friends shop to make the mounts. I was at the Operation God Bless america ride this past Sunday and found a 95 Harley with a Friendship iii sidecar a took a lot of pictures and found a newer Road King with what looked to me like a Liberty sidecar but I'm not positive. the rear upper and lower mounts were very similar on both rigs and the one guy said he ordered the mount kit from California years ago. Any on have any Ideas of Pictures please pass them on.
OH and I started to disassemble and found about 8 layers of paint on this thing.
some pictures of the wifes sidecar project. hope to be done to bring to the Rally

Thanks for posting pics of your project. She's coming along nicely.
Are those trailer lights?
Will get little Allen more companionship? More grandchildren on the way, so the boss is taking action?

Sal, I assumed they are trailer lights they have a rubber grommet they're LED .
Sven, no more grandkids in the foreseeable future. This rig will be if we all want to go together on one bike
Even more good reasons for to give the boy a great family life.
Myself I better stay quiet. Sooner or later they will come. Meanwhile it is easier to give a ride to the huge crowd of kids in the rest of the family. (My mother in law was able to gather 5 generations of girls of her own bread onto one photo)
Enjoy every moment and day. it is a gift.
Sven
