Just got my seats back from Rick Butler as well.
I had him LOWER the wifes seat a bit do to the
rake that is being put on the bike.
Anyways, I love what Rick did with the seats
he did not lower mine at all do to the Trike Conversion.
He did however , got rid of the in-seem part that
has always been to wide. I just love how they
feel now. (SO COMFY)

Independent suspension, do all ther Hannigan trikes have that or is it an option versus the strait axle?
Cougar
03-21-2009, 08:03 AM
They ALL do have that. not an option.

Nice trike. Sounds like there are a few of you that have converted. They look good how do they handle in a city corner. Being a verly newbe I have not said much but I sit back and read alot on your threads. I have learn alot on how to do different things to my '08 RSV. Even got my Morgan Carbtune the other day. With the info Freebird and the rest of you have had on sync. the carbs I am sure it will be a walk in the park. Like most of you I hate anyone toughing my cars or bikes. I now what I do, I do not know what they do. Anyway nice trikes.:thumbsup2:

Gunny, It does look as if they do re-rout the exhaust..
My Dealer said something about that as well , comes
with the kit.. maybe he is wrong. but looking at
Georges pics , it look like they do.
Cougar

Welcome Richard ! Gunny right now has
the most experience with the Hannigan
Conversion. but , like you say. a-lot of folks
have been converting lately.. And most of
use are adding the 6 degs rake kit witch
in return help a whole lot in steering the trike.
Most folks that do not add the rake kit
most likely have it installed later.

Jeff,
Hannigan used the brackets I had to hang the pipes so if it did move it's not enough to matter. It looks cold there in Iowa from your pictures. There are several others on the site that have Hannigan conversions done in the last year or so, I tracked them down and asked a lot of questions. I've got about 1000 miles on mine now and no complaints.
Cougar
03-21-2009, 12:09 PM
Yep Gunny... only ONE day of 70 degs so far that was last week
hanging around 45 degs might warm up when the bike is done!
But that is IOWA ! Been a long cold winter. been stuck in-side
for 4 months now. going stir crazy!

Did you know that The Hannigan Running Boards
are the ONLY load Baring Boards made for trikes
at this time? So you are able to stand on them.
Now this is what I was told at my dealers that
also installs Champion and California conversions
as well.

You guys are killing me with these GORGEOUS trikes - that looks awesome, George - great job. Enjoy the miles - those look so comfy you might just keep riding on and on and on........ have fun. :thumbsup:
Cougar

George, Now go to RIDE-ON Dot Com
And Order (TWO) 16 OZ Bottles
and put 11 to 12 OZ into each rear tire!
The stuff is great! I added mine the
first day she came home! But I had already
order it like a month before :D

What is Ride on and what does it do for the tires? Too the trike out for a short ride this afternoon and what a sweet machine. I took to it like a duck to water. It is different from a two wheel bike though.:thumbsup:
Cougar
04-11-2009, 08:22 PM
Awesome! I got about 150 miles today. just loving it!
George.. READ READ READ http://www.ride-on.com/
Awesome stuff... Nothing like slime. it is also water Soluble as well
for fixing later.. I have it in all my stuff now. and you have no spare
15 inch wheel for that trike *lol* If you do order it, order
2 bottles of 16OZ but you only need 11 OZ out of each bottle. Ya know
you can put the rest into that front tire. that takes 7 OZ.. Perfect!
