Not too much sidecar activity here but If nothing else from the forum bud , suggest contact Hannigan Sidecar factory (ive a heavy heritage model built by them but declined triple tree option, i like the shoulder work out, and shh i add a little more air pressure to the tires ) in Murray. Kentucky, they have a triple tree kit(not sure which maker ) . Am sure the technicians will help you, I called in there on return leg for a tonneau cover couple popper fixes(they did free) on way back from Trans USA /Canada ride, Amazing private Hannigan museum too, some wonderful racing circuit artefacts the owners were deeply involved with . They are out in the boonies GPS advised but a nice ride near lake resorts. have fun and best wishes. Hank
I have mounted and run sidecars on a variety of machines over the years. I'm currently runnung a Ural sidecar mounted on a Moto Guzzi Jackal 1100. On a solid-mount sidecar rig (lean-in/lean-out can't be adjusted on the fly) you usually adjust the lean-out of the motorcycle from the sidecar so that the outfit will track straight on a level road at the cruising speed you normally run. The amount of toe-in set for the sidecar wheel also affects handling. I've had the Ural on a couple of V92C Victorys as well as the Moto Guzzi. I have always been able to adjust the sidecar alignment so that it handled acceptably with the stock front-end/triple tree set-up. It may take some experimentation and readjustment to get right. Change one thing at a time and test to see what effect it had. A steering damper can help calm the head-shake sidecar outfits sometimes experience at low speed. I have a buddy who built a sidecar with a 3-point mounting system; 2 lower mounts and a single upper with a powered turn-buckle so he could vary lean-out/lean-in on the fly to adjust for pulling due to road-crown or side-winds.
