We have owned our sidecar rig for about 6 years now, and I finally got around to finishing the project I set out to do a few years ago...attach the sidecar to my harley. The GL1200 is an '86, the Ultra Classic is a 2009, and the sidehack is a California Friendship III. I used a mounting kit from DMC sidecars, and it went on pretty straight forward. Only a few hiccups (and new parts needed) along the way. All in all, I am happy with it. Still have some minor tweaking to do, but we were able to put 1600 miles on it riding out to the Sturgis Rally a couple weeks ago. Liberty Trees are definitely on my short list of finishing items...

Good color...
😉 I thought you might like that! The painter and pinstriper both matched the stock harley colors spot on.
Wow very nice, they did a great job of matching it up
Nice rig!!
That turned out nice. Congrats!
Looks great! Very well matched combo! Ride safe!
Awesome, very nice looking combination. Working on mine, hope it turns out as good as yours, Later-
That shoore is purdy. Gonna be a shame to splatter bugs all over it:-) I hope my painter does as nice a job. Enjoy!!
Thanks Guys! This was after washing the bugs off from Sturgis LOL
Great looking rig! You can put a Tri-Glide triple tree and forks on that rig and be completely Harley stock. I bought all of my parts from online Harley dealers and worked like a charm on a 2003 Electra Glide.
Absolutely stunning!
Probably worth more than my three rigs put together.
My wife would love it.
I refuse to let her see these pictures.
Seriously, I know you are going to enjoy it.

The more I ride this rig, the more I am glad I made the switch. The harley has the low end grunt to get the job done....where the goldwing fell short. I can power up hills now without having to keep grabbing lower gears. I was checking out the Liberty 5 degree trees, but will also price out the tri-glide parts. First though, I need to clean up the goldwing and sell it for parts $$ LOL
You don't need the expense of TriGlide forks. 1"PVC spacers will do the trick to raise the front end back to stock height.

bought a set for my Heritage they came with a set of fork caps that are longer to adjust height much better price
