Got my XS in the 70's when stationed at Fort Campbell. First bike my children rode on the back of before they were 3 years old. I went overseas and left it with my dad in AZ. He passed and it ended up with my Uncle in Las Cruces. He said come and get it and I am. I'm thinking sidecar for the Border Collie and Grandkids. Here's a link to a pic of it in facebook

Hi cbxtacy,
another potential mad tricyclist, eh?
I ran a sidecar on my Heritage Special for a while until I moved it to my XS11
BTW your link don't open for me neither but here's my rig in 2007.

That sidecar is a Spirit of America American Spirit and it's too heavy for an XS650 to comfortably haul at highway speeds.
I'm in the middle of re-chairing the Heritage with a Velorex 562 and we'll see how that rig does.
BTW (2) a 38T rear sprocket is a good thing for sidecar work.

Let's see if this pic works

and that one worked. I'd like to find an old motocross sidecar and build my own body for it.
