Hi, Jacob from Norway here. Just bought an Harley with the same sidecar as in picture here! The dealer imported the bike from US and where unable to locate documentation for the sidecar.
So not possible to register the sidecar for legal use in Norway. Do you know who’s the manufacturer of that specific sidecar? Is it you? ☺️
Hi Jacob, Haul N Ride do not manufacture sidecars. This is a website for sidecar enthusiasts to share information. I will post your question that someone in the community may hopefully provide you an answer.
Have a great day.
Dave
Thank you 🙏
What sidecar will fit a 2002 Honda Shadow Sprit 1100 cc? Thanks, Ahead for any help.
George.
Hi George,
Many sidecars and motorcycles may be attached using a Universal Mounting Kit combined with some modifications.
However, regarding a sidecar to suit your specific Honda model, that may take further investigation.
DMC are an example of Sidecar sales that also provide mounting kits and can be contacted for further advice:

We offer many other mounting kits and subframes that are not listed. Please call for details. 1-866-638-1793 toll free in N. America. 1-360-825-4610 local/international.
You may even consider a Leaner Sidecar Combination. This requires less modification to the motorcycle and can be returned to a solo ride.
