Mark Gregory Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Not mine but the seller wants $6,000 . To me it seems a steep price . https://www.kijiji.ca/v-motorcycle-parts-accessories/oakville-halton-region/1940-indian-motorcycle-sidecar/1353750397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Motorcycle prices have no relation to car prices and few people have the same passion for both. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That is especially true for INDIAN and HARLEY items where I think the collectors are the most passionate about their rides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 A real 1940 Indian could sell for 4 or 5 times that amount so it seems to be in line if it's a real period part for an Indian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJFord54 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Actually, I think it's a very fair price. Indian is a desired motorcycle and to find a rare sidecar to complete a restoration is the "piece de resistance" for someone. We think nothing of spending huge amounts of money for rechroming, painting, accessories. I think he'll get it - sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Compare it to an original Mullins Trailer or a 20’s camper trailer and that is a very good price IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I don't really like riding MC's with sidecars but they do go well with big U.S. V twins and 4's. The bikes were engineered with sidecars in mind. Price is as others have pointed out pretty decent. Many bikes of this era started out with sidecars but the sidecars were tossed out in the later 1940's and 50's making surviving sidecars quite rare. For riding I prefer British 650-750 twins. I am not a touring rider, just the odd local trip, and these days not even that. Greg in Canada Still a Norton and a BSA in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
