  • Rodgers Sidecars

    I'm working on getting a Rodgers Sidecar that appears to have been attached to a 1915-16 Excelsior. It would be a nice mate for my '16 X but I'm thinking that it would also be nice on a '16 H-D or Henderson. If there is a Rodgers aficionado/expert out there; perhaps you could point me in the direction of some good information, or give me a thumbnail education on Rodgers history and applications.

    Hi, Eric,
    First off, I don't think there's a "d" in Rogers. That will make any internet searching you embark upon a lot easier. Just like there's no first "e" in Flxible. And they ended up building bus bodies.
    It was, formally: Rogers Mfg. Co., 337 W. Madison St., Chicago, Ill.

    Here's one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zacheverson/4492521838/

    Or, this Googlebooks ref. will take you through 37 cites, including articles and ads with engravings, of Rogers Sidecars:

    (Number 3 of the 37 is a nice ad from Motorcycle Illustrated)

    It seems that their heyday was around 1917, Eric. Hope this helps!

        Rogers Side Car Ads

        The single page ad is from 1916 and the double page ad is from 1915. Will look and see if I can find any articles that might help. Matt
