I would also ask that question at www.sidecar.com

I suspect that your sidecar is probably actually a Velorex, and you might do better if you sell it as such.
I don't know about in the States but over here, apart from Steibs, sidecars don't fetch a lot unless really nice, best idea is as Jeff said post some pics.
Good Luck!

Re: Sidecar Value?
A new Jawa Velorex 562 costs about $2,600 but as I recall it will not bolt up to a /2 and requires generic frame clamps. See Side Strider at http://sidestrider.com/velorexpics.htm or the Wark Shop at http://www.warkshop.com/sidecars.htm.
The vintage Jawa Velorex 560 does fit the /2 and a perfect 560 should be worth more than a new 562.

I'll also go to sidecar.com, as that may be a good place to sell it. It was attached to my /2 and has all of the mounting hardware. The only issue with it is the wheel needs to be rechromed.
Thanks again!

But how was it attached? Did it attach to the original mounting points leaving the frame un-marked, or did it use clamps?

Hi Allan,
It attaches to the original mounting points with 3 adjustible cylinders. It appears like it is the correct setup for the bike. I will try to locate some pictures and share them with the group.

Can someone help me with the best way to make the pictures available?
