Author Message   Scottorious Posted on Friday, August 19, 2011 - 11:12 pm:        just wondering if anyone has seen a crash cage that would be strong enough to mount a sidecar to?   Duphuckincati Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 02:21 am:        I didn't know Illinois grew such good weed!   Ridenusa4l Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 02:49 pm:        LMFAO^^^^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.....ya looks like i need to make a visit back home Jake   Badlionsfan Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 04:32 pm:        I'd look into this, but I'm busy working on my trike conversion.   Scottorious Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 07:36 pm:        hahaha...this idea is weed free! really though, I have an 1125r that I have put maybe 500 miles on all summer. That is due to me now having a dog that I prefer to take everywhere I go. 65 pound black labs don't sit to well on the seat. So instead of bailing on a motorcycle that I have all the kinks worked out of and that I already enjoy. Why not make it work for me. I would like to put a uly tail on it and fashion a sidecar for it. I have calmed down my riding style a lot recently. But how crazy would the ride be in an 1125r sidecar! I picture it being something of this sort http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrUjiCudCz0   Geforce Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 09:30 pm:        While this would be a neat concept. It's kinda like doing all the work to turbocharge a bike... lots of work. If you need to ride with your dog that much then keep your bike and buy a Ural. I've thought about doing that myself.   Scottorious Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 09:33 pm:        also a wonderful idea....but the cost of a ural is too much to buy a second bike and continue to own a bike i wont ride.   Scottorious Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 09:33 pm:        I just asked if anyone knew of a crash cage that would be structurally sound enough to mount a sidecar too.   Slaughter Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 10:06 pm:        Is there even a crash cage made for the 1125? There were a couple on the XB but they tied into the engine mount - bad choice in a tip-over.   Scottorious Posted on Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 10:22 pm:        thats a good question...i cant seem to find one anywhere.   Ridegreen2oo Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 04:44 pm:        A while back I remember a company was going to make a crash cage for our bikes, but it didn't work out. So as far as I know there are no crash cages for our bikes. So no, there are no crash cages strong enough to mount a side car to.   Baggermike Posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 06:11 pm:        Hey get a Ventura pack mount at ventura.com I am not sure if they have a Pack Mount for your Bike but they do have one for the XBSS, then get a Beast Rider at Beastrider.com and you should be able to get your Dog to ride in it. I am doing this to my XBSS. I have a Ural but it does not get good Gas Milage. Mike
