motorvation form II

I have a Motorvation Form 2 mounted on my HD ElectraGlide. It's perfect foe a big bike. I've have a Ural and a California 2 and the Mortorvation Form2 is the best of the lot. You won't be disapointed.

that is what I wanted to hear. I have done some research and found it has been used on the 1500 a lot. this would be my first sidecar so I want to be sure I make a good decision
how is the stock or standard seat for the passenger on long hauls

Thanks for the input

The stock seat is good. Good and wide for lots of room. Remenber to grease the three grease fittings on the torshion bar befor you mount it. You will LOVE the electric lean

It should work fine, Make sure you get proper bike specific mounts for the sidecar (we offer these) also if it is a very old Motovation sidecar they once used balls on their lower mounts clamped with aluminum that tends to turn into powder so if this is a really old one, you will need to up grade to the newer type mounts.
When we mount Motovation sidecars we do away with their entire lower mounts. We make a custom "clamp" that slides into the frame to replace Motovations clamp. We make this clamp double walled as the 1 1/4 inch tube clamps tend to flex to much and have been known to bend. On the other end of the double walled clamp we step it up to 1 1/2 inch and then use our standard "bosses" that attach to the mounts using 5/8 inch hiem joints. We find this to be much more robust then the way Motovation builds the sidecars.

I am very pleased with my Formula II GL1100A rig. The mounts that were supplied with the car, in my opinion are fantastic. Take a look at Motorvation's site on how to attach the car and bike. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks for the input,
oldriders that is a nice looking rig
sfchock what year is your wing, looks like an 1100
I think I am getting a heck of a deal here, William is going to load it up and deliver it tomorrow. we worked out the details today.
I am very excited and looking forward to putting it on my ride. I believe this unit has all the newer upgraded mounting hardware as well as elec. lean and front shock stabilizer
I will be doing lots of research on mounting and adjusting and prob. asking a few questions here once I get started

I would check with Motorvation they are very easy to deal with (will listen to what you want and not try to sell you the whole store) and less expensive

thanks dawg I will remember that, good thing is the car came off a 1500 so I'm hoping that will make this easier

It's official, I am the proud owner of a sidecar,, it my be a couple weeks before I can get started with mounting it but I'm sure I'm going to need some help to get it right
I'm looking forward to this new side of riding

1982 GL1100A. I have had it since 98 and put the Formula II on it in 09 or so. Works well for me, Loaded I have to downshift for longer hills but for the most part travels well. Gas mileage is about 30.
By the way mine was installed on a 1500 prior to my ownership.

hi,i have a formula II mounted to a kaw 1300 voyager . works fine. i think the kawasaki 1300 six cyl. is the heaviest bike on the planet.

GL has them beat by around 150#Dry weight.

OK time for my first question, my rig has got a front stabilizer shock that connects to the front fork, I have wheel covers on my bike. am I going to have to cut a hole in it or give it up to use the shock
where is the correct mounting point for the shock. I think I read the higher I mount it the better it works
looks like sfchock has one mounting about caliper height

We find that if your mounts are done well and every thing is stout, the steering head bearings are in good order (some times we will slightly over tighten them by about 10 inch pounds) and the front tire is in good order a damper more often then not is not needed. A damper will make your steering effort harder all the time which is the last thing you need. Often just changing the toe setting by an 1/8 of an inch either way will also make a front end shake go away. I would try it first and see if you can make it work with out a damper.
