Hello,
I have a CB750 with a Spirit Eagle sidecar. I am not happy with the cheesy
eye type strap mounts on this set-up that connect to the frame. Although
they have mated for over 30 years, they still look weak to me.
I am looking at the kit offered by Dauntless Motors:
DMC-HCB750 Honda CB550/CB750 Mount Set
They don't have pictures of these components online and I'm wondering
if anyone here might have a picture or two they could post and also
any first hand reviews on the kit.
They seem kind of pricey, but it might be because they are worth that
much. I just want to be sure they are worth that kind of coin.
Thank you,
Gary
Don't know if this interests you, but...

Kenna sidecars are crafted using hand laid, laminated fiberglass, reinforced with Coremat.Additional 6 inches to the overall sidecar length, providing the passenger with more leg room than the original.The cockpit opening has also been widened for easier passenger access. Nice sleeping digs for pets too!The Kenna sidecars have a trunk behind the seat and a large passenger accessible glove compartment built right into the body.
Originally priced at $3000. Offers accepted. Sidecar only, motorcycle not included, but we have a Honda 750 A.C.E. cruiser currently available. Can be sold as a package.

Thanks Tom, but I already have a sidecar. It is a 35+ year old Spirit Eagle that has been mated to my CB750 for over 30 years. I am reconditioning the whole rig together. Pretty sure that Kenna would be a bit big for my little 750 anywho.. Looks like a neat sidecar though.
Gary,
Good choice to can the old mounts. Where are you located?
I'm about 200 miles south of you in Charles Town, WV.
Yeah, really want to change out those clamps, but trying to get over the sticker shock of the alternatives I've seen so far. 🙂
What do you figure your butts worth? lol

A whole lot. Trying to justify what a bent piece of steel and a bolt is worth
is where I am having a tad bit of trouble... 😉
Call Gary Haynes he just may have something around that you can use. Google Hack'd.com to get the number. Same number as Hack'd. He and Chris are in Buckhannon, W.Va.
