I have an old Harley and sidecar but I need some help in setting it up right. I am sure the lean angle of the bike is too steep and suspect the toe in/out is off on the sidecar. I get serious handlebar shake at most speeds and have the damper cranked all the way down. Any suggestions on how to make it handle better? All help is appreciated.

There's an article on how to set up a sidecar in the new issue of American Iron.

Jeez, you don't see many sidecars on the road any more. Especially mounted to a Harley motorcycle. What are you mounting it to?
