Hi

In order to fit a sidecar to a TDM , you need to have a subframe made as there is no frame to fit the sidecar to forward of the engine. I was quoted between £1500 and £2000 for one, so bought a Bonneville instead. I am on the Federation of Sidecar Clubs Facebook page and a guy in New Zealand has one with a Velorex sidear. The subframe isn't that clear from the photo.
2004 900 - Blue with lots of goodies
2012 900 - Still adding shiny bits. Was black, changed to white and now back to black again.

If you have never driven a combination before, I would advise you get some training. They are an unusually complex contraption.
Bike must lean out, side car wheel leans in, then there is side car axle lead ahead of rear bike axle and sidecar toe in to consider.
