Well it's easier when you have some people giving you good advice. It just scares me to either trash the sidecar or the bike. I'm probably spending another $2,500 on the Harley this week, for better sprockets and new clutch, for the...
Okay, I'll do that. Thanks. I'm to bolts loose, Jack stands under, Jack available.
Front lower is going to come out if I wiggle it now, so I must have a good negative bind on the front.
I will thoroughly inspect the turnbuckle at...

My riding is regular on certain...
I was very fortunate, after searching for any old sidecar to go on my 1981 fxef Shovelhead HD, to not have to travel to California for a more expensive sidecar, and instead found a beautiful Terraplane almost in my backyard, just miles...
