I've been looking for a couple hours and havent found anything.
Looking for pictures of side-car attach brackets, BUT I want both pivoting and quick-disconnect.
I'm sure I could design something from scratch, but why bother if something already exists.
Dunno yet, but I am toying with the idea of a side-car for the dog (and as a hauler instead of the trailer) so they gotta be good for a couple hundred pounds total car weight.
I'm thinking something that bolts to the bike frame permanently to keep the alignment, then the car itself just hooks with clevis pins.

Clevis Pins? Post pics prior to that first test ride so we know what the original design looked like prior to any accident.

I'm gonna break the frame long before I'll break a big one of these.

If it works on 1,000-plus pound farm implements, it sure as hell works on a few hundred pounds.
This is what started the idea, I just dont really like his attachment design. It could be a lot cleaner.

More or less along the lines of what he has, with updated brackets and add a gas strut for a 3rd triangular/upwards brace to act as a shock and smooth out bumps.[This message has been edited by MidEngineManiac (edited 01-16-2022).]
