For a sidecar that's taking up space? Jump on that like white on rice!
I won't tell you about usable torque right off idle since you ride a VMax, but it does have an interesting personality. Maybe like an old steam locomotive compared to a modern bullet train. Good vibrations!

HAHA I was like, wait that's an code error... NM Got it!
I'm not very much $$$ into the side car. After sleeping on it I think I will end up agreeing to the trade. I would like to invest in fixing the paint and replacing the speedometer (no odometer makes it tricky to guess fuel range with no fuel gauge) and see what I can't flip it for.
Thinking of doing an iconic twin review for my channel, Sportster 1200 vs R1100R VS Bonneville T120. Make for some good watching!

Jedz, your picture is not showing up. All I'm seeing is DOLLAR SIGNS!
just kidding. It looks like it's in good condition. I'm not sure what you have into your sidecar, but if you can flip this thing and make a few bucks, go for it! 👍Leave a comment:

Q's on 1994 Sportster...
Hey guys
Thought I would post here since I do value your input on things such as this.
The Sidecar has been on the market for the better part of a month as it's sitting and taking up valuable garage space. The dog still has no interest in motor powered anything so I'm officially going to move on from the sidecar project, for now.
So side car was listed for sale or trade and have been offered some odd stuff but nothing too interesting.
Last night a gentleman reached out and asked if I would be interested in trading a good running 1994 Sportster 1200 XL. He sent me some videos of it running well and pictures, seems to be in good shape, the only 2 issues I could pick up on was 1) it looked to be a rattle can job done poorly (I can fix that) and 2) the odometer is unreadable. It has 31K miles allegedly. Seams reasonable for a Sportster of it's vintage.
Here is the best pic he sent me.:
Relatively clean, no rips and the paint is workable.
I obviously really have no intention of welcoming a Sportster into the heard but when I booked it these bikes go for $3600 to $5500. I checked Marketplace and Craigslist and these bikes are indeed going for those numbers.
Might make a cool flip or just something cool to just run. I know these are carbureted and that concerns me slightly as I have absolutely 0 experience with Carb'd Harleys.
Anything to look out for, any issues I should take an extra look at? Any input on the bike would be most helpful.
Thanks,
