It looks like a Texas Sidecars version of the Spirit Eagle. I'm not sure about the wheel

Yep, a Texas sidecar model for the Helix. If I recall correctly, it was a direct bolt on that should mount with proper alignment "out of the crate."

Hey Gang looked at that unit and the owner said it is a Side Strider Sidecar which looks identical to the Texas units. Anyone with any information about Side Strider Sidecars?
Thanks to all.

Bob Darden was at the rally and in a conversation I had with him he said he bought molds from someone. I think is was Side Strider. He built Texas Sidecars for a period of time.

Bob bought Ride-by-side, a Michigan manufacturer. The molds came along with the deal.

The molds did not come from Side Strider.
