    Always a lot of sidecar parts on ebay.
    L&W Sidecars sells the complete assembly.
    Plus a lot of other parts.

    Welcome to the club!


    That's a 1937 UL with L&W (Merle Wolfe's) fine body, with optional door for the wife, and dog Spot.
    3+Reverse, parking foot brake, & period accessory glass center brakelight,
    L&W Tonneau, windshield, and army duck interior. There's an FLH second
    battery bolted in an OEM battery tray behind the sidecar seat.
    It's quite a disease!

    Check with Merle. tho those quarter turn fasteners are getting hard-to-find.

    DSC02208.jpgnice suprise on taking it apart! bike was originally cruiser green. original body, fender, and body supports were sandblasted and repainted blue by original owner a long time back. so no evidence of original sidecar color anywhere. frame and all other parts were sprayed black over the original black paint. however, when removing the fender mount piece from the frame, and the footrest nuts and carraige bolts, black paint chipped off those pieces, revealing cruiser green original factory paint underneath!! chipped off remainder on fender mount to reveal alot of green paint, as well as on the end of the large stud. nice to know everything will have it's original color when done!!!
