Watsonian Keeping Harley-Davidson On-Side
Even though Harley dropped sidecars from its range in 2011, legendary British sidecar manufacturer Watsonian-Squire is 'keeping the flame alive'. The latest combo to roll out of its factory pairs the company's GP700 sidecar design with an Electra Glide Ultra Classic.
"Harleys have been one of the top three choices with our customers for the past 20 years," says Watsonian Managing Director Ben Matthews. "Like Triumph's modern classic range and Royal Enfield - the other most popular brands - they have a timeless appeal that complements our sidecars, torquey engines for pulling power, and their traditional tubular steel frames make fitting straightforward."
Designed for long distance touring comfort, the Ultra Classic is described as "the perfect partner for the Watsonian GP700, with its wide bench seat, generous leg room and deep screen. The lockable trunk provides additional luggage space and somewhere to store helmets and apparel securely when parked."
As standard, the sidecar comes with a black gelcoat finish, but custom-match painting, as shown here, is available as an optional extra. Customers can also choose between a classic 16" spoke wheel or a 10" cast alloy. Watsonian makes all its sidecars to order, in-house at its UK factory.
