Of course not, and you should never bolt a sidecar onto your bike using clamps attached to the crash bar. That may sound silly to you, but believe it or not, some manufactures have actually done it this way.

I've seen sidecars installed in just those ways, and it makes me shudder every time I hear about that kind of thing.

A list of questions to ask sidecar owners: Of course you want the paint on your sidecar to match, but even more important, you need the engineering of your sidecar matched to your motorcycle. A sidecar rig should have good stability when making right hand turns.

To test a rig, just step onto the left peg of the motorcycle, grab the bars and see if you can pull the sidecar up in the air by throwing your weight to the left. If it comes up easily, it's not a good match. The mounting hardware should be designed to take not only normal stresses, but the exceptional pressures developed in hard turning avoidance maneuvers. "Universal mounts" for sidecars can't do the best job. Always make sure the sidecar has mounts designed for your motorcycle. At Motorvation we engineer each motorcycle/sidecar application. We make video tech-tapes each time we mount a sidecar to a bike in a new application. This way we can study what we've done,and show our customers how they can install their Motorvation sidecar correctly (the first time).
