Hi Fred, glad to have you join us. Hacking a GZ might work for around town riding if you can find a light weight hack. The bike will need all the help it can get with an extra wheel and the added weight. I think the brakes might be a bit iffy but maybe, just maybe you can find a hack with a brake on it. Look at a Ural side car rig and see how it is put together with the hack brake working off the rear brake pedal. Quite simple in design and adjustable for braking performance to match the bike's rear brake.
Extra storage can be acquired in a number of ways. I put a trunk on Lynda's bike in place of the rear seat and it worked very well. It was only a 28 liter trunk, Alantf has a GZ with a much larger trunk for shopping and errands.
