I was going to suggest buying a used subframe then working from there but it looks like the 650s have an integral rear subframe rather than a bolt-on. Just a small rear section that holds the lights and parcel rack etc.
Looks like the deuvilles have a more traditional bolt-on subframe.
They do have a hoofting big mainstand bracket you could probably get a very large bolt through (maybe 20mm if the pivot size is similar to my VFR) and a centre rigging screw mount to take the majority of the force. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

It's been years since I've seen let alone played with a sidecar.
I did recall it's more involved than just bolting the fecker on
with rusty angle iron and bolts though.
Out of curiosity I did a quick google and found this interesting page
and they have a gallery page showing various bike setups too

Thanks - seen all their stuff, very good and informative. Also I've had many chats in the past with Rod Young of 3 Wheels Better. It may all come to nothing but I'm keeping my options open! ____________________ 82 not out....1983 Honda LA250 Custom
