I have an '05 H-D FLHT with a older model California Friendship sidecar. The sidecar and mounts were bought off eBay and the gentleman I bought the rig from fabricated his own mounts. The rear upper mount that the rear strut attaches to was fabricated by modifying the rear crash bar. I am interested in finding out how the actual factory (California Sidecar) mount attached to the bike. If anyone has a Friendship rigged to their FLHT I would be very interested in seeing setup for this attachment. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. California Sidecars is no longer in the sidecar business and have been no help.
The rear bag guard isn't a structural member and not a safe mount for the sidecar.
CSC made a mount that bolted to the frame behind the side cover for the '05 FLH's. Here is where it was located.
Here is Hannigans method for the rear upper mount on the FLH also.

Great!
I realize that the crash bar isn't really suited for the mount. Do you have any idea where I could find the CSC mount you referenced?

Check with Dauntless.com They were able to come up with the pieces I needed to mount a California 3 on my Goldwing.
Does anyone know where I might be able to find the mount shown in Lonnie's (Hack'n) response above? The mount is shown in the pics " '03 Peace Officers Special Edition FLHTCUI 008.jpg " above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
