    Here's a manual with some good info. Have you mounted one before?

    Gotta make sure toe-in and stagger are correct, or you'll get really weird and dangerous handling.

    Have fun! Mount is a PITA, riding with one is pretty fun!

    Shredder24, I have a Hannigan 2+2 on my K1200 LT. I could take pics of the mounting system on the bike and on the sidecar if you think it might help. I got the sidecar when I bought the bike so I don't have the install instructions.

    OOh OOh! I just remembered a post by a member of the BMWK1200LT forum who designed and built a pivoting sidecar frame for his older model "standard" Beemer.

    You HAVE to look at this link! I think you will be amazed at what this guy has done! Complete with links, pics, videos, etc. http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/showthread. ... ecar+pivot

    Jeff! Dude! You are welcome to use "my avatar". No sweat at all!

    I had done a search about 2 years ago on XJ650 and found the engine drawing. Just like you I knew immediately it was the one for me.
