Been talking this over on a sidecar list. Prices there range from $100 to
$300. If I can get it at or close to the low end, I'll probably pick it up.
The high end and shipping would be foolish, I'd go for new one on ebay
first. If I do get it, it'll be interesting getting used to a front end that
lifts on braking, instead of diving.
