Default Sidecar on a Dyna (pics)

My Christmas present from me to me. Just finished up today and ready to go home. Pics were taken this morning at Reggie Pink Harley-Davidson in White Plains, NY. The guys there did a great job of setting it all up for me. I psyched!

Tell me more! This is a great looking sidecar. Whose is it? I can't tell exactly from the pictures but are those hydraulic cylinders hooked up to the bike to the car?
Do you mind if I ask how much a mod like this cost? This could be cheaper than my buying a trike. I would have enough storage room for a trip to town.
Is this something that can be easily removed and installed if you wanted to? I think it matches your bike quite well. Maybe the wife would even go riding with me if I had one.

Thanks, guys. And yeah, it looks better than I thought it would, too. And the pics don't do it justice. I'll get some better ones when it's out of the shop.

Rider1200, it's a Motorvation Spyder sidecar. Great company, very helpful and fun to work with. Each sidecar is custom made for the customer. I had them get a matching HD wheel, and I got a matching Optima headlight, and had both powder coated like the bike. They match the fender and taillight to the bike style. Black is the default, so I didn't have to pay for custom paint. The car has a tonneau, plus a full rain cover, and has the optional "dog seat" setup (for my Golden, see the dog thread ). The back is a trunk, which is quite large.

The thing seems very well built. I used to work on boats for a living, and have a lot of experience with fiberglass. This is a solid setup. Unlike many cars, the frame is internal, which makes the outside look much nicer. I'm working on a quick-disconnect setup. Should be able to take the car on and off the bike in about 15 minutes.

My kids will get dropped at school in this. No mini-van here! And I have Doggles on order for the dog.
