Welcome aboard Bambo. Since I love Trike, I couldn't help thinking about it. Why not consider the Trike? Isn't it beautiful than considering a side car?

hi aargee, i think riding a sidecar is the better way to be on the road and the project is still running. i made the steel boat and it`s ready. but before i made the sidecar frame i wanna draw the fatboy.

Nat Bambo,

I think you've come to the right place, because there's a fairly high chance that this man has the measurements you need :

Dreamweaver buildoff : HD Fatboy!

since yesterday my sidecar boat is ready. I am very happy, because it has succeeded really well. Next week i take more photos. The other photo shows me on holiday last year in Kroatia.

Nice pics. Is that sidecar hand fabricated ? Amazing job. Does your fatboy run on a Evolution motor ?

Wolfgang, wouldn't you want to experiment with building a trike off your fatboy. It will offer you better drivability and control, you would also have better options of transmission at the same time it looks quite cool. Although it might turn out to be a lot more expensive.

yes, i built the sidecar by myself. you mean a trike like this?
good idear, but it is very expensive because of the laws in Germany. maybe my next project :-)

finally, I had again some time to the drawing and with the help of Luky_13 now it looks already very good. Thank you Luky_13.
As the next I draw the frame of the Fatboy and then it further goes with the construction of the sidecar.
Does somebody have a three-dimensional Fatboy frame as a Step or dwg?
