Fitting a sidecar

My initial thought was, surely this is the wrong type of bike. But, thinking about it, they're heavy enough and good, smooth low down torque. Could be interesting. Not what I'd do, but could be good. Be interesting to see what response you get.
I would look at upgrading the brakes though!

I've been getting some negative feedback from some people about handling and stability, still undecided.

Forget the negative feedback. Attaching a sidecar shouldn't be a problem when it comes power and when it comes to stability it doesn't matter what bike has a sidecar attached there's always instability included. I have been pulling a trailer with my bike for many years and had no problems with power to do so, including bringing a cb750 home on the same trailer. I have been riding a xl1200 with a sidecar attached for about 15 years and yes there is instability in doing so. But with practice and experience the instability becomes less. There used to be a instructional manual that was available on the Internet that has a lot of information on sidecar riding, I suggest you try to find it. It was published in the 40s or 50s can't remember but well worth the look and read. I also just acquired a sidecar that I am installing this winter on my cb750.
Hello, thank you for your feedback, I will try and track down the book you mentioned and I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what outfit you have gone for and how you get on with assembling it and setting it up.
I pulled a trailer behind my Harley for a lot of years and brought home some interesting stuff, but never another bike. I'd like to see a picture of that.

There's a video on YouTube by Ural on how to ride a with a sidecar that will give you the basics.
