Hello,
I am going to ride 90% on blacktop and 10% on gravel roads. I have installed stiffer springs in front and back of motorcycle. Also installed an upgraded swing arm and a new shock from a 1200 sportster on the sidecar. With this in mind, it appears I need to be closer to 10% for wheel lead? Also, what is the ideal track width measurement with the information above?
Thanks

Up to 20% wheel lead is OK. The less, the better for easy steering, but more lead gives more stabilityat speed, especially in left turns.
I usually set up the 562's at approximately 12" from bike frame to sidecar frame. That gives the driver plenty of room and room for saddle bags .
