Thank you all. I was a rough ride and hard landing. Payton knows I can not get another gold and black one . She requested Red. and paint the sidecar of course. going shopping Monday at dealership. One issue I have is after 2017 they changed tires sizes on the RGU and they are those darn slim sidewall stuff. I may have to search out a 2017 with very low miles on it.
Now I do not preach. When you ride you wear what you wish or don't 100% your call IMO.
I had Leather gloves, Boots, chaps, Armor padded riding jacket and helmet. This is not dirt in the helmet it is from asphalt and gravel.
I immediately thanked God that you didn't have the sidecar when you posted that you totaled the bike. I have been keeping up with your adventures with Payton.

Wife has things to do today , so Payton is going with me. We will start the search for a replacement Tug for the sidecar. I have instructions from Wife. Get it done, anything but black.
Payton has requested Red knowing I will not find and another gold and black one. Payton is open to other colors also.
Normally replacing a bike is not a big deal. Inventory shortages and the dealer I like is being shut down by HD makes it a bit harder. Also I need what I had. The sidecar mounts and all are designed for the RGU/RG limited.
At 0930 we will meet with dealer. He has no RGU left but I hope he can find what we need and swap for it so I can purchase from them. Low mile used or new is not a big deal. As we all know warranty's are not and issue with sidecar rigs . Hang it on warranty done anyway . Prefect world we find a 2017 low mileage RGU. next option a new 2020 RG limited. The limited is a RGU they just changed the name and a few minor add ons.
When Payton started riding with us all of my priorities in a bike changed. Now it is about Payton and her ability to ride in the sidecar . She renewed my joy of riding when she got in her fist sidecar. I want to keep that going for her as long as we can. At 12 now she has well over 25,000 miles in sidecars. Has ridden in several states and toured the Smoky Mountain national park in one. Rode the Dragon twice, Moonshiner 28 run and many others. As she jokes some times she grew up in a sidecar.
The last time I customized a bike like that I was more than bruised and sore.
I'm glad you walked out ok.
