Side Car Anyone?

Anyone know of a side car set up for a Rocket III? Has anyone tried this yet? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Just my observation,i was at my Triumph dealer the other day when a Rocket came in after a crash. I checked it out and was amazed how much the forks were bent. I would have thought they would have taken alot more abuse than they did compared to the rest of the bike..?? Makes one wonder why their putting on the anti dive forks.

Very cool links! I liked both side cars. I need to pursue a bit further. Not inexpensive however. It appears the hacks are as expensive as the bike! I understand why they put anti dive on the forks of a sidehack rig. Makes all the sense in the world. Interestingly enough, as big as the forks are, you get 750 plus lbs behind them and they will bend like a pretzel when they hit something.

Thanks for forwarding the links!
