Darkside Sidecar

[Texan]

For $24,000 you can have this unique FJR1300 with a genuine sidecar made in France. Never seen anything like this. At least you won't have to change tires frequently.

There are a number of that style sidecar in the U.S., also on Hayabusas, ZX14s and Blackbirds. It's an entire sub-frame that the power unit attaches too (hence the leading link front suspension, etc.). They used to be imported and constructed by Hannigan Motorsports but they are no longer in business (at least their website no longer exists).

As I journey in to full-blown senior citizenry I have always held the opinion that I could convert my FJR to a sidecar rig. I love the bike but, should I ever get to the point of lacking leg strength, it's an option I'm willing to explore.

It may be undesirable to some but, to me, it would be better than driving a cage every day.

Gee, thanks Chris. Wouldn't it be easier to buy the one in the ad? It's already done and ready to ride. :dntknw:

I didn't see any mention of a reverse gear made in the ad. That said, I did manage without reverse for a year in a '64 GTO when a girlfriend jammed the four speed between 1st and reverse and let out the clutch. :blink:

I'd like to go for a spin either in it or on it, looks like fun !

Actually I think it is the one in the ad.

I've been contemplating a hack for some time but more in style of a Ural patrol and then take it out to explore some of the real back roads around here, they are great for carrying supplies for multi day ADV trips, the dog etc.

Looks "interesting" except for the fact that you can't unplug it and ride just your bike. This is not so much a side car, but a conversion into some sort of three-wheel........trying to think of a nice way to say monstrosity.

Has anyone seen a true "sidecar" for an FJR? (One that can connect and disconnect easily)?
