Any ideas on how to mount a side car to a Victory Cross Roads or Cross Country? They have a cast aluminum backbone frame, without frame downtubes.

Thanks

It,like so many bikes today ,will require a well built subframe.

I have the bottom part of a subframe made specifically for a R1100 BMW..... it mounts to the lower motor mounting bolts and then has a seprate piece that goes up to the headstock.... I will try to post a picture of the parts I have and post them soon.

Claude,
Thanks so much for the pics. That is quite a lot of work. Nicely done, but is more than I'm willing to have someone tackle for me. Beautiful work though!!!
