Mount Sidecar to Motorcycle that Uses Engine as Stressed Member--No Downtubes
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.
Thanks Claude for the reply. I cannot visualize the subframe.....
Thanks again,
jack
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.

Thanks Joel, I cannot even conceive of what it would look like!

Let me see if I can post some subframe pics. These pictures are for a V Strom but it may give you the idea.
Here is one, in th erough, for a R1200GS. The additional stuff on the right side is for th ecustom panniers etc.
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!!!
