Ferret,
Here's the story. The bike was finished while I was (and am) recovering from a surgery/prosthetic leg issue (which is one of the main reasons I'm into sidecars). So, sadly, I haven't been able to ride it yet. But, I'll be riding when the weather warms up, and I'll be ready for a CB then too. Any comments I make about performance etc. are from my best friend who I trust as much as myself . The backing question comes from his experience. He absolutely loves the rig. BTW, he owns the 2013 CB with the red Hannigan sidecar. He is also the machinist who makes the sidecar attachment hardware. He has become a sidecar guru and helped me do what I would normally do myself but have been unable to do due to my health. We've both owned several sidecar rigs and he says my Indian is the best he's been on.
Thanks Guth. As to the wheel, that though has occurred to me and after it's finished, I may do that.
Here's a question. On the Honda site, it says the photos are the European model. I wonder if there's a chance the U.S. model may have different wheels. (?)

After looking at this one, I think it would be cool if you could ultimately find a way to mount a CB1100 cast wheel on your other sidecar to match the wheels on the bike.
