Did you notice that the last poster ME answered this .....* years ago .... and did you read the other 23 posts ???? .... I hope someone can give you a satisfactory solution to your problem. I look forward to what the answer will be ....Mike

There are carriers out there that you can mount either on you passenger seat or on your trailer that IMNSHO are a much better idea.

There is no external frame to mount a sidecar to. The Spyder frame is a central backbone. This would be a nightmare to construct and to ride. Sure death for both of you

Nytemagik has a "Standard" size poodle .... they are almost the size of a German Shepard .... and he camps and has a Pop-up camper; I doubt he wants to attach a Dog carrier to the top of the camper ..... JMHI ... Mike

Steering geometry would keep a sane man awake at night. The ?rig? would handle completely differently when turning right or left.
The DOT people would go flipsoied when they saw it. You'd hear their laughs blocks away. First turn into the sidecar would be an education in understeer.
If you really haven't been dissuaded by all our comments - build a two-foot RC model and see what happens.

With YOUR motivations and my lack of fabrication/engineering I think we can solve the issue: Rebuild the front storage area into a pup-condo. Pup in the condo, you at the helm, camping trailer in tow and there's even still enough room for a passenger. Now ya know! LOL

I think as mentioned before a trailer might be the answer. I too have a med sized hound (60 lbs) that likes to go everywhere with me. When I leave on the Spyder she waits by the garage door until I return. She just has to wait for jeep rides.

Ummm...it's been a long while since I was an admin for a forum that used vBulletin, but isn't there a way for an admin to "lock" a thread from updates?
And yes, I realize that reviewing "old" threads requires a bunch of effort, and the Admins are probably all volunteers, so ignore me if I'm out of line.
Oh, and all of you Admins? Keep up the great work!

If I did a sidecar, this is the one I'd want! Great for clearing traffic jams and settling road rage issues...

Depending on the size of your FURend what about a carrier on or in the trunk?

It doesn't stop people from viewing the thread, it only prohibits new posts.
So yeah, the whole 10+ year old thing.
