There have been pics posted here of an XB12R, from Germany IIRC, with a sidecar setup. You might get some ideas for attachment points/method from that bike. I believe it did use a weird non-stock front fork and low/wide profile front tire. |

I would think you will have to change the front fork to keep the handle bars in your hands. At the very least add some rake. I would contact some sidecar companies and get there opinion on what to do. I have a Honda Shadow sidecar rig and love it. It's just plain fun to ride, but never replaces the feeling of 2 wheels. Hope it works out for you. Give Gary Haynes of Sidecar Magic Shoppe a call. He's in Buckhannon, WV and has a loyal following.
