No BB, I don"t but I sure do lust for one! We have a local guy pretty well known for his sidecars..."sidecar Doug." I always see him tooling around and have chatted with him many times. One day... You know, the idea of a red sidecar with a beautiful Dalmatian riding along with me wearing his Doggles... :2tup:

Talk to him about the pros and cons of a sidecar. Maybe he can give you some leads to a cheaper sidecar without going broke. Then you can afford to feed the dog.
You might try lurking on sidecar rig forums. Hmm................I have a new thing to search for now. Knowledge is power as they say.

Your bike is looking GREAT!!! :2tup: Maybe building trikes will become a part time money maker for you

Still waiting on the paint shop. I talked with the owner yesterday and he asked me if those were trailer fenders I'd put on the bike. "Yes they are", I told him. He told me that when he gets done with them they will look like motorcycle fenders. I'm not exactly sure what he's doing, but this guy is really good and really creative. My wife said, "Ca-ching, ca-ching" when I told her what he said. I hope this doesn't bankrupt me. I'll be eager to see what he's done with the Trike. Hoping to get it by next weekend.

Oh crap. Now I have to wait even longer than I expected. We are leaving for a couple weeks on Tuesday or Wednesday. But as they say "Good things are worth waiting for." We will be back near the end of October.

WW, hope you have a great trip. Hopefully, when you return I will have pictures of the finished product for you to see.

Thanks BB. I'll try for some vacation pics to show you.

Well, it is still in the paint shop. They are almost done, everything is painted and has at least one clearcoat on it and once he finishes the next clear coat he's going to pin stripe it and I can pick it up, he promises, Friday, this Friday. I hope.

Here are two pics I snapped this afternoon when I stopped by to see the progress.

I have to admit the paint looks as good as the factory paint, but it has taken a while to get it done.

Looking good BB. With luck you will have the final wiring etc done this weekend and be on the road. And then comes the road report........hint hint.
