Got this urge to consider a side hack for my t-100. Seen a few on line. Anyone have any experience or know of local sales/installer.

Just think never have to worry about falling over again

I believe you have a greater chance of falling over with a sidecar.
A sidecar doesn't make the bike more stable. It is a whole nother world.
Good luck...

sorry, no meaningful input. Sounds cool though.

This is the British solution to the sidecar question. For installation help, I would recommend a Ural dealership. They understand the set-up and can give you a starting point for your machine. The Watsonian Stratford is a lightweight and lower cost model with spoked wheels. Here's how it looks with a W650.

I saw someone who had one on a Legend & ask him about it, it was a side car company from england, now made in India. That has been made since the turn of the century, Thursday night is our local Bike Night ill ask for a card our get back to you on this matter. Don't let any one discourage you i to want to get a side car, They are different but you will learn & quick. There a blast and i can get my family in for a ride WE got miles of cost line with whale watching centers. With GAS so high i can see my family just cruising along.

Hay eodinski. I installed a velorex side car on my bonnie last year for a camping trip in northern Ontario . what a hoot ! They sure do handle differently but are a lot of fun.
The bonnie pulled it along at Highway speeds with no problem but it does make quite a difference in gas mileage.
There's a pic of my "rig" on page 10 of the Mugshot gallery.

eodinski, check out my photo album- members albums, S, SCbonneville.

I have a Bonnie with a Motorvation Engineering, Spyder sidecar.

It is definately different than riding the Bonnie in its' two wheel mode.

Shout me an e-mail if you have questions...

Sb, you are talking about the Cozy Sidecar. Try this link also. I've been considering this hack so my two boys can ride along with me, then remove it when I ride alone.

If I happened onto a side-car..... THIS WEEK...... that would look and work well with my current set-up, I'd buy it if it was affordable!

I've always wanted a side-car, not as my primary bike, but as a novelty. But the choice of bike it's attached to is VERY important. My Black Bonnie is begging for a retro side car......

Gotta go to work now, and may be dreaming about one..... that's how you manifest these things, dream, then forget.
*POOF* Suddenly one appears in yer life!

I think I remember reading in the Triumph Bonnie/T100 MOM, that attaching a trailer or sidecar, would invalidate bike warranty. But I could be wrong...
