The Mototrike reverse is installed. came in under budget. $1910 parts and labor, that included pulling the sidecar body and putting it back along with a little electrical work on a light and a full wash job.
We have a lot of ice right now and 5 inches of snow coming down on top of it. I am not picking it up tonight.

When this started I knew there would always be more to do no madder how much went into it. Once you do what must be done and address you own personal wants new ideas come up.
I picked it up yesterday and the reverse works as it should. While it was there I had them install a car tire on the rear of the bike. Something I would never consider on a normal bike.
A lot of time went into researching it and coming up with size and tire . When I picked it up the roads had Ice and snow and it had warmed up to 19 Degrees F. The Car tire handled great.
I am running a 190/60-R16 with Ride On in it at 42 PSI for now.
The reverse is not a must have, but on a Rig this size if the budget allows it is a nice thing to have. Latter I will post some pictures the bike is a mess right now from the Snow.

The Universal type mounts like you see used with the velorex and others. They have the block ,shim and stud. Every where you see them they sell them as an entire kit. I need a couple.
Not every sidecar is meant to stay on forever and welding is not always called for.
Now that my friends is road worthy I plan to experiment on mine . I have some ideas and those type mounts work for holding things in place while trying different Ideas.
His is ready I road it close to 100 miles yesterday cut across the farm with it solid . There is just no one around that does this type work anymore. Heck even in our farm area there are darn few welding shops left. When the old guy 15 miles form here dies we are in trouble . All the so called INDY bike shops want to do is sell some junk ape bars , loud pipes and a quick cam installs. Bolt on bad ass crap.
