OK. Here are some better ones....
Hope these pics will help. Any idea where I can see pics of one original? What about year model? maybe a rough idea of what its worth? I got this in a swap with a buddy, but he is also clueless about it(he thought it was a Triumph because of the decals). Thanks for all the input!!

Here's a nice one,
As far as value, one just sold on ebay. It is a bit rougher than yours and I personally feel the price was too low. I expected it to bring $500 to maybe $750. http://tinyurl.com/7kq9qw Many things come in to bearing with an auction. Who is looking, where is it located, what mounts are included, and if you will ship. Only you know what you have invested.
Thanks for the info. Any guess as to the year? Also, what can I use for a tire/wheel for it? It appears to be a small 4 lug pattern close to small trailer size pattern. Thanks again!
If it's 4 lugs on 4" centers use a 12" trailer wheel.

Attached is apicture of an International Sidecar that Gary haynes installed on a Vincent. I think Gary said he has installed 3 Internationals
over the years. He does have a good handle on the ins and outs of them.
You can reach gary by contacting Hack'd Magazine. Link to site:

Some bikes and sidecars just seem to go together. That Vincent and International make a great looking pair. Since it appears that the International was splashed off a Watsonian Flight, I'm glad they took off the fin.

Or maybe should have left it and added a wing. :0)
Wonder where there is a scrap yard for amusement park rides...cool sidecar bodies huh?
The International on the Vincent was a leaner before Gary started on it. Another Gary in Cleveland ( ex flexit guy ) owns a scrap yard for amusement park rides. He also knows of a graveyard of old Steib sidecars. I saw a picture, but his lips are sealed. Had a guy interested in my 1954 Steib S500 but he bailed out of the deal, when it did not have a little tag behind the seat, so I guess it's back up for sale.
Dave ,
That last pic was from LaCrosse when you had the guy who rode up there with me, Adam, in the sidecar for the games. He had joined the Navy shortly after that and then when discharged ended up living in Austrailia for a while. He just popped into the shop last week.
Colby who did most of the work during the games 'we' were putting on called the other night. That turkey is now driving a truck.
Attached is another pic of some goof on your rig at the same rally.
Mike L. [sidecar mike] had a line on two bumper car bodies that had been sitting out on a golf driving range. Apparently the guys didn't want to sell them... oh well.
