cb900 with sidecar

[sidecar special]

we recently acquired a 1980 cb900 with a sidecar. the sidecar has the cb900 emblems on the back as well as the Honda eagle, but we cant find any info about it. its in rough shape, and came to us with no background other than it was last registered in Arizona in 2001. any ideas where we could look for information would be appreciated.

What exactly are you looking for? Info on bike, side car...? And how about some pics?

I would guess that the sidecar is a custom job.  I don't believe Honda made them.

I don't think honda made these, probably a custom job. Would love to see some pics I have a disabled son and would love to get a sidecar setup so I can take him with me on rides.

heres a couple of pics. it needs a lot of work!

im looking for any info anyone might have on the bike and or sidecar. links to sites giving specs  and pics of any setups that might be similar. I cant find very many references to the cb900 with a sidecar attachment.

Are there any markings on the frame or bodywork of the sidecar? Maybe even an emblem stamped in to it to determine the manufacturer? There might be something on the wheel or even under the seat.

And it's hard to tell in the pics,but the frame mounts for the sidecar rig seem to be universal pinch mounts. Probably not Honda(or any bike manufacturer) would have used for a factory built piece.

Very cool. Very interesting. I see Google creeping in to my sleep schedule tonight....

That is awesome, the sidecar looks like it could fly! My kids would love it!

Very sad scene.

It looks to be a California freindship sidecar

This is oneof the first of the freindship line befor the flip up for nose like you have

Sidecar Special - if you want good info on the 900C, the Yahoo group Honda CB900CCB1000C is the place to go.  There's lots of us with multiple bikes, lots of experience, files with "how to" and links to the FSM.  The "how to" stuff is very handy because the FSM never took into account someone trying to work on a 30 year old bike.  That looks like a very nice package.  I realize this thread started a couple years ago.  I hope you've managed to resurrect that beast.  The 900C is an awesome bike to ride.  Oh btw, if you get a copy of Clymer's manual M340 for Honda GL1000 & GL1100 (the early Goldwings) there is an excellent section on sidecar setup options for toe-in, bike angle, etc.
