Getting back to the title of this thread, I was at DMC today and had a chance to eyeball this new "grande" M72DX. The extra 4" in width is not that noticeable, but man o man the trunk is now way bigger! There was some dead space behind the seat on the old M72 that's been eliminated by relocating the divider between the trunk and the passenger compartment. Add that to the 4" in extra width, and the trunk looks cavernous. Plus the weight is now shifted a little bit forward. I like my sidecar, but this one is so nice it's making me think that if I crack into a tree or something it won't be so bad because I can replace my tub with this one!

I think Barry said the frames are different, Elmer.

the frames have to be different, because the right side case and the tub haven't gotten any closer together than they were on the original model
and..... i now know (because Barry measured it for me) that the whole rig is 79.8" wide from left side case (and left mirror of my GS-Adventure) and the fender of the sidecar which is 4" wider than you thought it would be, i believe, elmer which is, by the way.... an INCH WIDER THAN MY NISSAN ARMADA...

 .I can disconnect my entire rig in 15 min. Remove 4 bolts and unlpug 2 plugs: electricals and sidecar brake line. Then one got to "drag" the tub through the gates and across the pipes.....  .The most cumbersome are the lower large main bolts at the 2 subframe a-arms. Re-connecting is takes 1/2-3/4 an hour due to having to balance and tilt the bike to fit the bolt holes..aarrghhh! Still part of the adventure .  This was posted legal for all vehicles less than 40" wide.
