Ronnie, I think you got into the sidecar addiction at the wrong side of the pool, and are now out of your depth.
We can all be wise with hindsight , but it's not too late to change direction even at this stage . Getting a rig built from the factory, and designed to haul a sidecar is really the only way to go. Do it right and do it once, There are no shortcuts. I doubt you would lose any money, the Chinese rigs cost just 50% of what you would have to pay for one made in India.

They will make them any colour you insist on
Ha Ha .. Not going there.
Sorry, was responding to the "large kidney stone post"
@mick-boon Wow.. what is that rig? Love the dog in it too. I have already spend more than $10K on this rig + labor + transportation .. so I doubt that I can swing for another just yet. I love the INT650 for riding without a sidecar... so I suppose, I could just use the INT650.. but at this point, I am going to put in a month of regular practice to figure out what to do. My dog already loves it.. so that's a great thing.
Ronnie , It's a a Chang jiang 750 M1M, otherwise known as the Yangtse river 750 M.
That one is a genuine Chinese army CJ from about 1972. It was very rough when I bought it, but was not expensive, it set me back $3000 Canadian
This new one cost $5000 USD. It is refined and sophisticated which was an eye opener to me.
