I have been contacted by a non social fellow from mid coast Maine. He has a lightweight

. This was previously attached to a Honda CM450. It comes as shown with the mounting hardware attached. He is asking $350, local pickup only. Message me and I will give you his contact information if you are interested.

Geez, Des....you had the perfect opportunity to name that paint....Bolognese Pasta Sauce Red....in honor of your Moto Guzzi heritage.

Razz

@michael-lydon Hi, Has this sidecar found a home? Thanks, Brian in Maine

Brian Cohen @bridge97 WELCOME to the sidecar forums. This past June we held the annual National Sidecar Rally in Topsham, Maine....it was fun.

Yes, that sidecar that you are enquiring about was sold.....one of the fellow forum members Des Switzer @perado bought it, and attached it to his Moto Guzzi, and painted it to match his Moto Guzzi....as shown in the pictured above.

 

If you, Brian, are looking for a sidecar tub to attach to a bike you already own, let us help you find one.

We know you are in Maine (all the good people come from Maine) 😎  , so can you tell us what bike you have, have you owned a sidecar rig before, etc...so that we can do our best to help you find the right sidecar tub ???

Thanks! Yes, looking for a sidecar for my 1977 Honda Goldwing. I owned a Velorex 562 car with a 1969 Moto Guzzi Ambassador a while back and I'd like to get back into it.
