Be worthwhile scanning the hack section of advrider.com to see if anyone's selling a leading-link setup.

I have a 82 Goldwing with a leading link front end on it. I bought the bike just for the sidecar. Runs good, needs front master cylinder. 83.000 miles. Make me a offer, I live in Pennsylvania.

That's the way I got my Terraplane last summer. Never even started the bike. Gone in a few weeks.
Would only want the bike for the LL. But first want to ask does your hack already have a link? Why wouldn't you swap out?
I've never ridden with a link but it sounds like a great improvement. I use a steering damper on stock suspension and can cruise at 80. Damper does make it difficult to turn bars sitting still, but drives fantastic. Twisties are a little slower. My riding partner likes sitting on the bike. Have plenty of ballast in car, but makes for higher center.

Mounting sidecar on a 2014 Stratoliner with modified triple tree. No need for the LL, come take a look at it and make an offer. John 610-816-9666 . I’m in the Reading Pa area.
