Title: Sidecar and C10
Post by: UKFan on October 24, 2011, 04:08:20 PM

Anybody have a sidecar on their C10, or know of someone who does?

After knee replacement wife doesn't want to get up on the bike anymore, and I don't wamt to go to a trike.

Thanks,
Mike

Here are some pics of a concours with a sidecar. If you scroll back you can see the building of the frame.   http://www.pbase.com/elvin315/image/15096623 (http://www.pbase.com/elvin315/image/15096623)

It's been done many times but it's not easy. The Concours has no lower frame so a subframe has to be fabricated to provide attachment points for the sidecar.
