Download the books on sidecar operation here.
Take a sidecar class if possible.
For the steering, have a set of raked triple trees installed. they work like power steering and you don't need to fight the steering damper (which slows the steering) anymore. You scrap it.
The trees can be ordered from Liberty Motors ($850.) and others. Any shop that works on Harleys can install them.
35 years of solo riding do not help you much in sidecar piloting. Now you steer instead of bank in the turns.
Be patient, the new muscle memory will come to you.
Have fun,
