Not getting a lot of direction from my manuals or Google, can you guys tell me which direction the eye of the sidecar bolt should face?

That's better than what I've found so far, thank you!

Don't the frame mounts and orientation depend on the mounting hardware that come with the sidecar?

Looks like they must. I don't have a sidecar, just don't want to be that guy that put his on upside down if there's a standard way to set them by default

The sidecar mounting bolt position is determined by what sidecar and mounts are used. Bikes without a sidecar normally would not have a sidecar mounting bolt in the lugs or mounts that are welded to the frame. They would just have the frame mount with the unused empty hole.
