So now to get into the crazy. So I want to do a double side car. I want to be able to lean into a curve so some sort of sock or such and also have one side for a person and the other side for things like dog food etc. I have it in my mid but do you think it can be done?? Plus easy 3 or so pins and off again

Side car???????????

Hi oldcoal,
you mean a Flexit?

One side only, real neat but they are extremely rare and cost the earth.
Or Ghost Wheels?
Betcha it ain't cheap neither.
A double rig with an ordinary sidecar on both sides would be way too wide to be practical.
OTOH a used Velorex or Sputnik or Cozy or Spirit Eagle sidecar would work with an XS650, are quite affordable and not too difficult to attach.
Fit a 38T rear sprocket and the rig could pull a small trailer to haul the dog food in.
And don't bother with making it QD.
Once you realize how handy a sidecar is, plus being a serious chick magnet, you won't want to take it off.

Seems like quite a task to setup a double sidecar, let alone a double Flexit. I setup my first rig in June this year and have been running it quite a bit. Just a typical sidecar setup is almost as wide as a small car, I agree with Fredintoon that a double may be too wide to be practical.
Also, you might be surprised what you can fit behind the seat of a typical sidecar tub. I just put a 30lb bag of dog food + other various groceries in mine yesterday and with a good sturdy rack on back you could strap just about anything.
