But I haven't heard back from the guy, so I have been re-exploring other options. There seems to be a great chance that I can get a Ural frame, wheel, brake, attachments, the whole deal for about $500, then I talked to the folks at Dauntless sidecar and they said that they thought that would be a good idea, and what I would need from there was two of these (from them):
Mind you this is a company that sells a ton of really expensive stuff, so the fact that they told me not to buy a frame from them, and all I would need for a sidecar if I got the frame (and that my subframe idea looked good) was two of those for $15 each.... They could have told me I needed a kit for $350 and I'd not have known better, because I don't... this isn't my thing... yet.
So the Ural frame together looks like this:
But with a wheel.
The last step after mounting, I believe would be to get a metal plate of some quality and bolt it to the top of that and somehow work out a way of mounting some ballast, which once I find out where to put it will just be more metal plate hahaha.
The key difference between the two is about $400.
The guy I'd be getting the Ural frame from sells these:
Which lets just say... is the dream.
