I just might do it.
I have been talking to Jay at DMC Sidecars. It sounds like it would be moderately expensive and a moderate logistical hassle, rather than extremely expensive and a huge logistical hassle.
He's going to send me a quote.
Push button shifter, steering mods, electronic trim adjustment, to adapt it to my current health situation. I could be back on the Super10 by spring. Sweet!
Car tire on the rear of the bike, luggage racks, aux fuel, lights, fancy upholstery, etc etc. So many cool options.
I asked how hard it is to take the car off, not to drive the bike solo but to work on the bike. Because all the electrical stuff is under that right side cowl and the car would be in the way. He says it's a ten minute job. I suspect it will take me a few minutes longer, but that is reassuring.
The sidecar could be painted to match my stock bike, or I could opt for a whole new color. Back in 2011, the dealer asked what color I wanted and I said "Yellow." He said it only comes in blue or black, and I said "I know, but you asked me what color I wanted." Anyways, I'm thinking, it could be yellow. With film strip decals. I'd already be destroying its OEM glory just by hacking it, and next to the small fortune I'd be spending for the rest of it, getting my choice of colors is nothing.
