Hi All
has anyone seen a Can-Am with a trials type sidecar fitted ?, I am thinking about fitting one to one of my Can-Ams to have the best of both worlds, I have a Honda Outfit but it is to big for green lanes, did have a Ural Outfit a few years ago & that was great fun off road, thinking of some sort of frame work with a mud guard & a pad to sit on that could b all bolted on to the bike & not very heavy.

Hi one of our MT members was selling a sidecar similar to the you intend to build, not sure if he still has it.

Sound like yours needs the carb jetting.

Over-engineering replacement parts that were under-engineered originally by the manufacturer is the whole point of having a home shop.

Nope. Fully overhauled and goes like a rocket. Juts can't see a 250 two stroke driving a side car rig personally!! But stranger things have happened.
