Quote from Guest on March 13, 2011, 11:17 amAnd very new to the idea of getting a sidecar for my 06 Honda Aero 750! Sidecarmike referred me to this site and thanx Mike BTW! I see Ara is on here too! Hi Ara and Spirit!
I am getting very interested in adding a sidecar to my bike mostly because I intend on travelling with my lil Georgia...she deserves to ride in style and in comfort! Last year I introduced her to my bike via a cat crate to control her movement as she was just a year old then... now I am supposedly heading west with her in her new Tbag carrier this summer.. I say supposedly because we may not be going if gas prices continue to soar.....hence thoughts again about adding a sidecar to the Red Baron!...likely a used one...what we don't do for our dogs eh? HAHA!!
I had thought about adding a trailer eventually but that would NEVER do for Georgia and me! I want to be able to grin at her lil face every now and then while riding and I'm sure she would love to do the same! Even thought about hauling a kayak with us, but for now I will rent them now and then while camping.. I LOVE the water as much camping and riding!
I also work with someone who is fixing up/painting his BMW /sidecar rig this year and will refer him to this site if he isn't already on here...hope to meet some of you in the future!

Quote from Loon on March 13, 2011, 6:50 pmIf you can't make the trip out west, check out the 2011 USCA National Rally in Dayton, Ohio July 28-30. Even if you are going out west it might be a place to stop on the way. For what it is worth, the gasoline price gouging on our side of the boarder is less than the price gouging on your side.

Quote from Guest on March 14, 2011, 9:46 pmI have a 97 1100 Shadow with a hannigan conte. Are you thinking of taking the 750 on the freeway with the side car? My 1100 has a total of 50hp and I can make 110km/hr without a headwind and with a passenger. On the back roads it's no problem at 80 or 90 km/h. Make sure you get a lighter sidecar for the 750 because you want to be able to pull it along nicely with the reduced horsepower
I'm In Bowmanville Ontario so I struggle with the 401 but the rest of the roads are great!

Quote from SidecarMike on March 14, 2011, 10:38 pmBe careful, they can be addictive. I'm just about finished with the Goldwing. I was having a conversation today with a friend, talking about the salt we accrue when riding on winter roads. Since I haven't been able to sell the Guzzi, I'm starting to think about building a winter rig. :0)

That's a nice Rig!
Did you keep your standard staggered exhausts? I am modifying mine to bring them to the back of the bike to eliminate noise and fumes at the stop lights. Almost 8" on the top and something like 20 " on the bottom to bring them equal to look like shotguns. I am actually sleeving the stock pipes on outside od ( +/-
3 inches dia ) using crome tractor trailer pipes and extending them to the back . Hopefully no back pressure increase will happen because the pipe exit is about 1" at the end of stock pipes going into 3" open chamber.Note to all : If I am wrong please tell me now because they are about to be tig welded on soon.
(Sorry didn't mean to try and take over the thread, just looking for opinions)

The sidecar is a Kenna Standard single. They were manufactured in Canada at one time now in the US.
They only come in black gel coat and must be painted if other colors are desired.
I have one single and one double in stock here in Boise, Idaho.

Take a look at the Motorvation Spider. It would look good on your bike.
