peterbaron, I have no idea how I'd get Rudi up on the rider's seat. Might have to think about that one!

Mark, check out safeandsoundpets.com for mutt muffs, might help out Rudi. Also post up a question on Soviet Steeds about cutting down or lower windshields for the tub. A British company makes one but not cheap, some of the SS crowd will have suggestions, maybe one or two decent. Gene at Holopaw in Florida is an excellent resource. I saw Rich Maund recently at a rally near where I live and asked about a sidecar door, thinking of Rudi and you, he had at least one in stock. Thread on ADVrider - Hacks and Pups, read and ask questions there. Serious about dogs and sidecars. The more I get to know the CB the more I thinks it’d be a perfect tug. Jay at DMC mentioned to me a replacement triple tree he was making that would reduce the Trail and consequently reduce steering effort, night and day difference.

Dan, thanks so much for the helpful information! If the neck warmer doesn't work out, I will look at the mutt muffs. Looks like quality stuff.

I actually posted on Soviet Steeds about the windshield. I saw the shorter British windscreen, but am not sure it would do the job, as Rudi's head would be well above the top of it.

Thanks for the note on Gene at Holopaw. Will look him up. Also appreciate the inquiry with Rich Maund. I did contact him once about a sidecar cover but he was pretty backed up. May reach out again on the door and other items.

I've also posted on ADV hacks and pups. May pursue that option again for further advice.

And if I begin to feel that the steering is too much, I will definitely contact Jay about the triple tree.
