Mounting: Friendship Sets the Industry Standards
 The hardware attaching the sidecar to your motorcycle is absolutely critical. Meticulously designed (and manufactured in-house), our brackets carry a lifetime warranty and will be replaced FREE anytime they show fatigue. No welding is required.
Consider this:
- A patented four-point mounting, utilizing GRADE 8 aircraft quality bolts and nylock nuts.
- Every sidecar is shipped with mounting hardware specifically designed to fit the year, make and model of your motorcycle.
- Initial installation takes 8-14 hours using simple hand tools and minimal mechanical ability. Full mounting instructions are included.
- Our "quick disconnect" system lets you disconnect and reattach the sidecar in about 15 minutes.
- Mounting brackets can be ordered separately to adapt the sidecar to a new motorcycle.
Suspension: The Unique Friendship Four-Point System
No matter which Friendship model you buy, you are guaranteed the most advanced suspension system ever developed for sidecar travel.
- Trailing arm suspension with a progressive damping coil spring shock designed for us by Progressive Suspension.
- A six-stage valve adjusts to changing load and road conditions.
- A special cam adjuster allows easy preload adjustment for varying load-carrying conditions.
- Chrome springs are standard and carry a LIFETIME warranty.
Body: Performance and Looks
Aerodynamic design is crucial to total performance. Uneven airflow acting on the sidecar body has a negative impact on performance, stability at highway speeds and fuel efficiency.
The Friendship's graceful shape cleanly penetrates the air with virtually no turbulence. It performs on the road every bit as good as it looks sitting in your garage. It is constructed of heavy-duty fiberglass with high strength-to-weight ratios and reinforced with impact resistance coremat.
Frame: Simply the Best Construction
- Mandrel bent 1.75 in. steel tubing, ladder type construction, built to SAE standard specifications.
- All adjustment points are double locked or nylocked with plated GRADE 8 bolts and nylock nuts to ensure reliability.
- Frame mounting struts are electrostatically power-coated high gloss black to resist rust and corrosion.
- Friendship Series roll out smoothly a 145SR13 wide profile radial tire mounted on a 13 in. mag aluminum cast D.O.T. approved wheel.
