Hi All,  I have a 2007 Yamaha Road Star and picked up a Texas Sidecars Ranger for it.  I contacted Texas Sidecars and bought the installation kit specific for the sidecar & the motorcycle.  The only thing that came in the box were the parts and pictures of them saying what they are, no instructions of any type.  I've reached out to Texas Sidecars twice now but all I've heard is crickets, absolutely no response from them.  Does anyone have any hints or tips for smeplace I might find something to help with the installation??  Thanks.

Hello Alan, and WELCOME to the greatest show on Earth, or any odd numbered planet.

We know of people that can help....but first....where are you?

Your location would be useful for dialing in the right person to assist you.

@aferg here’s a link to the USCA library.  There are some articles linked for general and specific model installations.  Also there are threads in the technical section of folks who have a variety of experiences with installing and fine tuning rigs. https://sidecar.com/sidecar-library/
