Reverse gear installed!
After buying the 2008 Road King/ Harley sidecar late last year, I decided to install the MMD reverse kit. It all went smoothly after sorting out the exhaust fitment. ( I am now a certified Ninja exhaust nut installer/remover.) on,off,on,off, repeat until it all kind of fits without binding or rubbing. The best part of the install was the TEST RIDE in the sloping, gravel driveway. I had removed the tub from the sidecar frame so I'd have access to the transmission etc.. While experimenting with shifting into and out of reverse I quickly discovered the lean/flip angle of the sidecar is affected by the throttle X 4 in reverse without any weight on the frame. Yep, flipped her right in the middle of the driveway.. No damage, and the rig was a lot easier to flip back onto it's wheels than I thought it would be. Fun, fun, fun! Looking for

Well, I'll admit to being more than a bit aggressive with the throttle, It was all fun, until it wasn't... When in reverse and turning the bars, don't gas, it the bars will go to full lock in an instant! More pics of the old girl. I brought her home on a roll back wrecker back in December as a winter project. She had sat for several years unridden and unloved. New tires,new tubes, brakes, fluids, the list goes on and on. But I think she turned out O.K.
