I've got a 1998 Evo carb FLHR Road King done 63,000klms with a DJP sidecar mounted and I'm in heaven! I bought the bike a few months ago, I'm the 3rd owner, then got the sidecar and mounted it myself with the help of a local engineer. The bike has near new Dunlop D402 tyres and the sidecar has a 10" Mini wheel with a near new tyre. The outfit tracks properly, is easy to steer and handles quite well for a heavy hack - 550kgs total with me on it.
Has anyone with a sidecar put car tyres on their bike? Better traction?
this may help. set up looks a little different & tyre/wheel is probably bigger. As previous poster said, traction on the side car is not really an issue. It just follows the bike.
