The ultimate dual sport machine, rides like a champ solo without the sidecar, smooth like a sewing machine, keeps up with modern bikes easily.  Attach the sidecar and now you have fun for the whole family.

This dream team of bike and sidecar has been a real love affair for the past 8 years that I am really hoping someone else can take over.  A great machine and rig, moving forces sale, it is only a few steps from perfection.  

As you can see, the bike has been kept as completely original as possible.  Always garaged, no rust, look at those pipes!  The front forks have been rebuilt with Progressive springs and it has Progressive rear shocks.  Recently serviced with new battery, rear Metzler tire (the front Metzler has maybe 1000 miles on it) brake shoes and Tsubaki chain.  Front brakes were done last year along with professional seat recovering.  It starts up easily (see the video) once warm idles smoothly at about 1100 rpm without any choke, the carbs were rebuilt 5 years ago. Gas tank has been sealed with POR15 which has been holding up brilliantly.  I have done most of the work myself, but have also been blessed with an older mechanic at a local dealership who has one himself at home and knows how to work on the bike.  


Sidecar is a Spirit of America California Sidecar; produced from 1971 to 1975, the magnesium wheel was only available during the later years of production, unable to date any more precisely since they did not produce with serial numbers.  I had the wheel vapor blasted and sealed with urethane.  I stripped the frame to bare metal, then seal with POR.  It has a new shock and new seat and new Heidenau tire.  I have had precision bearings pressed into the wheel.  It also come with a new Gustafson windscreen, which is not yet been attached.  Lights on sidecar are cross wired into CB to share braking and turn signaling
