Dire need of guidance

Joe David · 2023-02-15T10:01:01Z

Hello to all, I'm new to the world of side cars but after an exhaustive search for the past month I have brought home what I hope will end up a good match for my 2003 HD XLH Sportster. The process of mounting to the bike has been straightforward so far. the Cozy sidecar was previously mounted to a Triumph Thruxton. Two of the universal clamps (uppers) are secured to the frame as expected. The forward lower connection can only be made buy putting the clamp in a bend of the frame which went on nicely without any prying and tightened without tweaking. In order to make the bottom rear I would need to connect it to the swing arm at the location of the passenger foot peg. Is this allowed? I only recently learned of the use of subframes which I’m not having any luck finding. Any thoughts or guidance are appreciated. Thanks in advance

Not a good night. But I would bet, looking back, that night was one hell of an adventure that only hardened your resolve it persevere.
