Pat,
It's an older Velorex (model 530??) that has been modified quite a bit. The wheel doesn't appear to be standard and the platform between the bike and the car has been added. This older Velorex sidecars are very appealing to folks with older bikes for which they would be period correct. It looks like you've got a good start on a project.
Looks like an old Velorex 560. Good for a small bike.
any idea where to get bike frame mounts?
cb 900c

That sidecar was built for Jawa bikes with 250-350cc engines. They were much lighter than the CB900 you have planned for it.

I would give it some serious thought before I stuck that sidecar on a bike of that size.
I have lot's of new OEM Velorex/Jawa frame clamp assemblies.

With the modular wheel, suspension and fender, it could be a Bingham car.
Does it have a round tube frame? Or is it rectangular?
its a tube frame.
and in response to the other guy i took it off of a dogged out
gold wing that had seen alot of miles with it
thanks

That doesn't always mean anything. The previous owner could have ridden with 200 pounds in the sidecar. Just make sure you follow the 3 to 1 rule. Your bike, with you sitting on it needs to weigh no more than three times the weight of the empty sidecar.
With a round tube frame it's not a 560 Velorex, probably a Bingham.
The Velorex cycle mounts will fit though.

after googling bingham im pretty sure thats what i have
id still like to go with the cb 900 though.
if weight is a problem i know i can make it heavier
thanks pat
