[QUOTE="akolleth, post: 134073, member: 3987"] Thanks all-- I am pretty mechanically inclined, I do almost all my wrenching on my vehicles. Over the years I haven't had the extra money to take it to a mechanic, so I had to learn to do it myself. No worries about having to get down and dirty. Truth be told I kinda like it, except when you are on a deadline to get it running to be able to make it to work, then it sucks. The plan right now is to get the bike first, then to build a custom sidecar frame and tub myself. I have been researching building my own sidecar rig for a while now and feel pretty confident in my abilities to put one together safely and for thousands less than buying a pre-fab one. Although there is a lot to understand , most of it is pretty simple in mechanical terms. Anyone who was fabbed up their own trailer could easily build a sidecar frame (essentially similar designs) [/QUOTE]
