She has rode mine before in a parking lot. But I have a Sportster with a little velorex that comes up easy even though I have over a hundred pounds of counterweight in it. I have never put raked trees on mine because it doesn't bother me so she wasn't real keen on the ride. I did tell her though that with her bike with raked trees and the larger side car it'll be so much easier to drive than mine

We wish her well. My wife just finished the MSF basic course, and got her endorsement today. She has been practicing with our newly-finished rig in a parking lot over the last 3 weekends. The dog is, as yet, undecided about this new development....

OK folks nows where I need pictures or ides. Getting ready to go to my metal fabricator friends shop to make the mounts. I was at the Operation God Bless america ride this past Sunday and found a 95 Harley with a Friendship iii sidecar a took a lot of pictures and found a newer Road King with what looked to me like a Liberty sidecar but I'm not positive. the rear upper and lower mounts were very similar on both rigs and the one guy said he ordered the mount kit from California years ago. Any on have any Ideas of Pictures please pass them on.

Thanks for posting pics of your project. She's coming along nicely.

Are those trailer lights?

Will get little Allen more companionship? More grandchildren on the way, so the boss is taking action?

Sal, I assumed they are trailer lights they have a rubber grommet they're LED .
Sven, no more grandkids in the foreseeable future. This rig will be if we all want to go together on one bike

Quote from Peter Pan on July 10, 2017, 10:12 am

Even more good reasons for to give the boy a great family life.
Myself I better stay quiet. Sooner or later they will come. Meanwhile it is easier to give a ride to the huge crowd of kids in the rest of the family. (My mother in law was able to gather 5 generations of girls of her own bread onto one photo)
Enjoy every moment and day. it is a gift.

Wow that looks great. very nice color match. Did you do the paint work as well

Quote from wvsporty on October 11, 2017, 11:13 am

I did the grunt work and tape layout. I actually could see the original tape out when I removed all the paint and used that design mostly. I work in the auto glass industry and have many friends in other auto related businesses that I generally barter the labor portion . I have only paid for most of the materials on this build . I salvaged steel and did the cut grind and drill work and had the welding done by a pro. The seat was left over material from other jobs that a long time friend and upholstery shop owner did for me . The paint was done a paint and powdercoat shop near my shop they did the pro work I did the manual labor.

Cool, either way it looks great.

Quote from Peter Pan on October 11, 2017, 1:35 pm

Congratulations Dough,
nice colors for the rig.
Allen shrinked? You see in deed quite some difference in boat size.
Next project in spee.
QA1 needs a sidecar tooooo.

Last year I saw one of these tiny kid bikes with enduro sidecar...Two small girls 4-5 years were the whole day BUSY riding on a oldtimer spare part market. Not until the sale booth were drawn down the two traded some parts of their own.
Best regards and good luck on all her ways to your wife with the new rig.
Sven
