What Harley would make the best side car and why?
Hi all
Im jumping over from the Freewheeler forum so please don’t tell anyone haha.
Recently I’ve been looking at side cars on Pinterest and it’s got me thinking what a good project it could be to create a side car.
This may have been asked before so I’m sorry if it has, but what Harley would make the best side car, and why?
Thanks for any reply’s in advance

I like my rig for this reason.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]84822[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]84821[/ATTACH]I have a 2002 Ultra Classic with a factory sidecar (1998). I also have a Honda 1100 Shadow Ace Touring with a California sidecar. I love them both, but the Harley has what I think might be an advantage over most other sidecars. I first thought that the design of the sidecar frame was archaic, and it is. However, it has no suspension on the chassis. The only suspension is on the body itself (leaf springs). My California sidecar has a fully sprung chassis with solid mounted chair. When you take a right hand turn (sidecars are mounted on the right side), the California chair will "unload" and if you are not used to it, it can be unsettling. Because the Harley chair is not sprung, you don't have that same feeling. The California chair does have electric camber control which is nice. I don't notice any harshness in the ride of the Harley with having no suspension. My passenger (wife) indicates both chairs are very comfortable. The Harley chair is a bit harder to get in and out of while the California chair opens up and you just step in.
