Think Kevin is right.  it's hard to overheat one.  Rode my G5 with Kozi Rocket in a parade at speeds from 0 to 5 mph for well over an hour.  Had Hogs heating  up and dropping out but the Enfield hung in there.

I am a new to the forum, so first off."Howdy all."
I recently purchases a B5  UCE w/ a Cozy sidecar.  Being the first rig with a sidecar I can attest to the "interesting" handling it has with the other bikes I have ridden.. ;D



I have a couple hundred miles on it so far and I am still breaking the motor in.  All I have read here on this thread seems pretty much what I have been finding out.  Glad to hear the  UCE motor does the trick.
I have a place to practice right turns and lifting the wheel without having a heart attack.  The RE is a hoot and I am looking for years of fun with it!

I am not having fun trying too reply to a thread though.. :o

Welcome Roadpizza.  This place is, as they say: "Entertaining and informative."  Have had a lot of fun with my G5 Deluxe/Kozi Rocket and look forward to a lot more.   :D

All good stuff here but, how about "proper" tire pressures for the sidecar and bike?

I put a rocket sidecar on my C5 six months ago.  I had it dealer installed and they seem to have done a good job.  No problem cruising at 60.  I haven't seen a need for ballast - just be careful.  I hate the tall windshield, but I often use the windshield bar and cowel because passengers like to hold on to it.
