    Default Nicely done

    looks like a great job...do you have pictures of the hardware you used to set it up. We get requests for this type of carriers from time to time...

    Yes, not the best pics but gives you an idea. Custom built. The axle of the chair sits in the long U bracket, which then closes over top of the axle and with two hinges to tighten it down. Then a secondary support (arm going to the back) holds the chair in position for extra security. This is secured with a quick pin. Fortunately I have good upper body strength to one arm the chair up onto the bike, then do a body twist while keeping my balance and getting the chair into position.

    Nicely done. Have you considered producing them? There are lots of wheel chair riders out there.
    Keep on riding, my friend. Nothing stops us but ourselves.

    Default production

    No, I haven't though of producing them. I only came up with the design. I paid (a lot) for the fabrication.

    Its really nice to see someone get his chair to ride alone with him. I have a 2017 RTL so its a much bigger challenge to figure mine out. Right now I have to back up in my garage and park on the right side to mount. Hit the garage door opener and I am gone. I have 3 bikes though and its a challenge to move my bikes around to be able to drive them. Got all 3 fixed for my disabilities, I have M.S. 2 spyder's a 2017 RTL and a 2012 RS plus a 3 wheeled scooter from china. Your bike looks great by the way!
