Sidecar on Thunderbird Sport?
Hi guys
Just came back from the HU meet at Ripley and she who must be obeyed thought that our household could benefit from a bike and sidecar combination :confused1:. I saw a really good looking BMW r60 with a chair and also a more modern blue plastic looking combo that I never even got close to.
A brief amount of research revealed that good r60 rigs go for a lot of money. I saw Austin and Lois's talk on their Trans Am trip on a Ural and my opinion is "no thanks".
I own a 2003 Thunderbird Sport (the one with a megaphone pipe on each side) that doesn't get much use. I'll admit here, I know jack sh!t about sidecars. So, apologies in advance if my questions seem un-thought-through or naive.
Has a TBS ever had a side car bolted onto it? Would it be hard to do? What's involved? Is it imperative to replace oem front forks with leading link forks? Ideally I like the option of leaving the chair in the garage and just taking the bike out for a ride every so often.
Thanks for any input,
cheers
Chris
