Go to sidecar.com and you will find lots of information. I'm in the process of getting our COZY car and '03 Savage tug in proper working order for us. Hope to get new gaskets in both side covers tomorrow and the car back on the tug with the connectors loose enough to make the adjustments and be done with it for a while. If Phelonis checks in he has a Velorex car on a Savage also and lots of experience. Max

I know there's a Russian model that comes with a Savage bolt on. I don't remember the name off the top of my head, but it was the cheapest one available when I was looking into maybe, perhaps, possibly getting one for my bike. Just do some google searches and you'll turn up something. I found places all over the country that carry them. The closest and cheapest for me was one in eastern SD.

Lots of used stuff on Craig's List Seattle so you might check large cities around where you live. Be patient, do your research and strike quickly when the "goo deal" comes along. Max

Second on what Max said. Lotsa guys buy a hack for various reasons. A guy I knew invested big time in a custom painted sidecar for his Kaw Drifter, then the wife decides she doesn't like riding in it as much as she thought she would. He rode it around a couple times hack, then left the sidecar in the garage. Shame, all that money.
The deals are out there. Look and be patient. Maybe post a "wanted" ad. May be that some guys with hacks don't know they want to sell til they read your ad.
Also, check the scooter messege boards. Those Cozys fit scooters too!

let me ask this then and maybe its a stupid idea but i wonder about using a go cart frame for a single seater to use as a base for the sidecar.. i have been thinknig about crating one out of this.. if i can get it all together i have a friend that is a welder..

hmmmm...
i need some info on building one and specs and how they hang to motorcycle as well..
also i have a idea to use snaps and a messed up jeep softtop for the top and i have my windshield off my bike i dont use that could mount to the front of the sidecar...

hmm again i say..
time and creativness but i want safety first and foremost.. this is my little girl riding here and my camera equiptment as well...

I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress of shopping/fabbing a sidecar. My nephew is 2 years old now and I was gonna wait till he's 4 or 5 to take him on the bike (maybe!), but if I had a sidecar I'd feel safe much sooner. I shopped for quite a while and the best I could find was a $2500 EURO model. Putting a $2500 sidecar on a $4000 bike just didn't make much sense to me.

You're changing the dynamics of the bike in a big way. There are folks on this board with the brainpower to help you, but my guess would be that building one to save the cost of purchase would be false economy.

Make sure the bearings are able to do the highway speeds for prolonged time. Many go-karts have HD bearing for the shock of bumps but they aren't rated for the highway speeds for long periods of time.
