I think that's part of the 'kit'... I've seen them in other colors before. I'd suspect that if you're spending that sort of scratch on a new bike and a sidecar that likely costs about the same as the bike itself, money outlay isn't a huge concern.

It's not for the "privilege" of having a car tire. With a sidecar, the front wheel no longer pivots around its horizontal axis. It simply rotates. The forces applied to the front-end are completely different. This is why you usually see sidecar rigs with Earles suspensions and similar designs instead of forks.

So I guess the one I posted with the 14R being the same, makes the headlights be less cool if it's just a brand. I thought they were some custom glass work to match the 14R.

Hannigan is the "coach" builder, pretty high end nonetheless

Just buy a Ural and be done with it.

At this point, I think I agree. Most of those look awkward... sidecar doesn't match the bike... Ural's got it right...
