    After a lot of research, many mistakes, and corrections, here it is, a two pass sidecar. It handles just great!!! I had one years ago, both the car and bike had rigid rears. This one has a very adjustable car suspension, and I got it about right. With the wife and baby aboard, it tracks very nicely. Empty, about the same. Now I will attempt an upload of a picture.

    Very Nice!!

    Something like that would be nice even without passengers. You could actually grocery shop. As it is with my sidebags... a 6 pack, a gallon of milk and maybe a bag of chips... and I am done!

    Does it lean, or is everything solid?

      No, doesn't lean. Has a single sided swingarm 18" long on the car with a single shock/spring combo. I can take right turns empty at safe speed for an auto without the car wheel coming up. But I can get it up if I want. Yes, that is one big saddlebag.

            Would you send me ( Post ) some photo's of the mounting and the swing arm area.
            I have a sidecar also and have a problem with it pulling the wheel up without somebody in it.
            Would like to see your setup and see if I can modify or tweak mine.
            Thanks
