Mounting a sidecar on a bike is not such an issue: you just have to work out how to mount the bolt points to your existing frame. This can be the tricky part as modern bikes often have the engine as a stressed member, making the bottom mounts harderto fix.
Having one, I am biased, but I would recommend a Ural sidecar and chassis. They are VERY sturdy and dealers are used to fitting them to non-Ural bikes, too. A universal fitting kit is also avaialbe that you can use as a starting point for your project. Old sdecar bodies are plentiful where I life making it a cheap option too
You could also get competition sidecars if it's for storage rather than a pillion, but these cost $$$$$$$€€€€€€!! Also they are vey light whilst a heavy sidecar does make it easier to handle. I can also think of prettier brands, but I doubt they are strong enough norhave the ground clearance of the models above.
Note that you may need to consider changing your wheel bearing types and carry spare spokes: the cornering forces on a conventional motorcyle to not act on the components in the same way as they do on a motorcycle-sidecar combination.
