A British sidecar for an American classic

A British sidecar for an American classic

October 21, 2008



GLOUCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND
–– British sidecar manufacturer Watsonian Squire has developed a matching sidecar for the Harley-Davidson Nightster.

The Harley-Davidson XL1200N's air-cooled, twin packs a meaty punch of 72ft/lb of torque which should make pulling the GP Manx sidecar effortless.

The octagonal nose cone retains the style of the 1920s but is manufactured from contemporary glass fibre and the sidecar has modern suspension and electrics.

At just 180cm in length, it is shorter than most sidecars and the boot design has been modified to make it easier to get at from the saddle.

To match the Nightster’s dark, moody looks the GP Manx comes with black fittings and wheel rims and is also available with an optional black luggage rack.

The Watsonian GP Manx sidecar costs £2,995, including full-factory fitting and tuition for novice sidecar riders.

For more information call Watsonian Squire on 01386 70 0907.

Re: A British sidecar for an American classic

I've taken the chair of my Bonnie for now, with this knackered shoulder I couldn't
pull it round the left handers. Maybe a chance to get a paint job done.

If I had it on my Road King two weeks ago that tosser might not have
run into the side of me.

Know what you mean about the shoulder, I'm having my other one opperated on this Saturday morning, the last one took months to heal,
But is nearly perfect now.
I've got a compressor and spray equipment you can use on the old chair if you need it.
