Forgot your password? I was thinking of getting a side car, I hate to admit the reason I want it, so I can take my dog with me on rides. When he was small I would put a towel on the gas tank and ride him around the block. There is also someone that makes a trailer designed for carrying a dog.
A trailer would be a lot easier to connect and remove as needed. I just googled "motorcycle trailer for dogs" and there are lots of pics and info including where to buy. Thanks for the post, I looked at trailer kits, and know they would be a lot easier, but I hate to put it this way, it would look a lot cooler if the dog was riding next to me LOL.
Now they are proud of those sidecars, they want as much for the side car as I paid for the bike. I saw a guy with a large dog in a sidecar attached to a Rocket III. That is why I wanted one so my best friend, my dog, could ride with me. Unfortunately he died before I could ever buy one. I even took a course on sidecar riding. Of course they are way different. I haven't totally forgotten the idea as it would be easier for my special needs daughter to travel with me plus I like it as an alternative to a trike but more work to ride.
I would keep an eye on Craigslist Larry, I am sure you can find one fairly reasonable, maybe do a country wide search thru a site like adhuntr. Seems like even an older Ural hack would work nicely for what your talking about. Thinking the biggy would be finding the proper hardware and setting it up properly.. Oh, wait a second here,, just read above where you talked about having the dog on your tank at one time,, thinking you are talking about side hackin out a Gen 2?
I am thinking Carbon One was working on a 1st Gen,, may or may not be able to help but we shall see.. I hear ya on the cost, there is a small dealer here in my neck of the woods that sells Urals, Royal Enfields and Kymcos, but they also do alot of work on side cars. A couple weeks back we paid a visit to discuss a side car for my RSV The Ural is a very cool looking rig. Thanks for all the help and post. I will keep my eyes open for one, and at the right time when funds and sidecar meet I will buy one.
