We got our Friendship III Home. It is used, and had been in (Nice) storage. It does have the Electric Lean (Thanks to Fellow Members for helping identify) It is missing the handlebar switch, and I am having no luck getting a response from California Sidecar Company. I need the switch, "tee" fittings for the quick disconnect brake line, and a stock steering dampner. Any ideas? Thanks to all , We are so happy with this . It is going on an 88 K100LT. Thanks , Bob Novarino
I've got the "stock" FS III steering damper. Do you have the brackets for mounting it? They are bike and sidecar specific. No one size fits all. If not available from CSC they will have to be fabricated by another.

We can help you with what you need. For the switch we will need to know if it is a 3 wire set up or a 4 wire, With the 3 wire there is a relay in the trunk. 4 wire there is not. We can also set you up to simply wire it for a 4 wire.
Not sure what brand quick disconect is going to be on your brake. We do have the entire couplers but you will have to change out what is now on the sidecar.
Most bikes do not need a damper if the mounts are good and solid and every thing else is in good condition. The damper California and most other companies uses are way to stiff. VW dampers work out better but usualy are also a bit stiff. We have the VW dampers.
If you bring down the sidecar to us we can work out all of this for you. I also have your mounts on the shelf ready to go.

Lonnie, Thank you very much for your reply. I have been in contact with Dauntless for various reasons during this project, and am going down to pick up my subframe in a couple of weeks. Thanks, Bob Novarino
