Been fighting it all day.. body back on just need to add the hard pads. and the top trunk.. so tired LOL. Was hoping to play with it today. but that's a no go now.. should have been all done with in the next half hour. oh well there is always tomorrow! maybe I will eat dinner and go back out and try and figure it out. blown fuse now under the lower fairing I think.

ragtop69gs Posted March 24, 2012 Share #37 Posted March 24, 2012 if I remember correctly main pump should be on 87 and the other on 87A and when the main pump is on it should also energize the solenoid to stop backflow to the other tank. Now I could be wrong on this, I'd wait for Larry to chime in. I thought it was plug play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share #38 Posted March 24, 2012 It was LOL.... Larry and I have been emailing back and forth ALL DAY!! Not a good day for me.. NO GUESS WHAT!!!

Oh and that other little problem is fixed. ask Larry *LOL* Did about a 50 mile test ride and all went real smooth! Happy Camper, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted March 25, 2012 Share #42 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) We knew you could do it Yes those brakes are the cat's ass, after the install I got to about 30 MPH and locked them up, stopped straight as an arrow while pulling the trailer! Bet ya didn't read the tape before tearing it off, eh ? How much did it hold? P.S. I want to take this opportunity to thank Jim Gooch and the whole crew at Hannigan Motorsports for their outstanding customer support. It's refreshing to find a company that stands behind their products so strongly. You guy's rock! Edited March 25, 2012 by ragtop69gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share #43 Posted March 25, 2012 Tearing what tape off? It held 5.324 Gals but remember this is still top secret as Larry has not made any announcements yet about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa_don Posted April 14, 2012 Share #45 Posted April 14, 2012 Ok, I didn’t want to hijack the thread but you guys are the experts. 1st is there any way of finding out when the conversion was done. I had called Jim and with the limited info I had he could not find any record. 2nd, I have some brake problems. Posting pics and you can see the right side has some nice disc scoring. I was originally just going to replace the pads and may still just do that. I am seeking as to if I could have been affected by the rotor /pad issue mentioned and how to find out. I also want to verify that the pads previously posted in this thread (EBC FA266) are the correct pads. Also wanting to know if Hannigan will offer up the upgraded brake kit. pa_don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share #46 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) :)YOU ARE NOT HIGH JACKING THIS THREAD:) , It is what is all about :-) YOU have the wrong pads on those rotors (hard pads on cast iron) that is how my first set looked. Don, All you need to do is send Jim those two pictures and tell him your problem IF nothing happens you can have my two new rotors and the right pads I did just pay $ 55.00 for the new pads and they only have about 20 miles on them. ($35.00?) so we can go from there. otherwise Jim should replace them with the newer up-graded ver. for you at no charge to you. Upgrade is larger stainless steal rotors and hard pads (NOT SOFT--EBC FA266) you have hard pads on your cast Iron rotors now. (NOT GOOD) The up-grade was done about 1.5 years ago. In the past there was about 30 of us about 3 years ago that Hannigan was sent the wrong pads (hard pads) to them with there rotor kits. so hannigan replaced all of them at that time. I would email him back and get this fixed. but as I say if something does not happen for you PM me about getting my cast iron rotors from me. there nice and smooth. I also have another set of pads as well. ( 2 sets ) and Rotors for $35.00 plus shipping. Edited April 15, 2012 by Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted April 14, 2012 Share #47 Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Without any way to prove the build date you are probably on your own as far as brakes. I was able to provide the original build receipt to prove the date. You may want to talk to your installer to try and get a copy. I think that ebc number is correct. I have the cross reference here somewhere. Do you have a serial tag on the trike frame? It will be on the right side, you can see it looking through the wheel in the ares of the bump stop. The tag is something new within the last few years. Mine does not have it. Edited April 14, 2012 by ragtop69gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share #48 Posted April 14, 2012 The EBC number is correct. (soft pads) it is the number that Jim gave me. His rotors should be changed out no matter what and hannigan should make it good for him. it would be the first if they do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop69gs Posted April 15, 2012 Share #49 Posted April 15, 2012 Jeff, That's a pretty generous offer you made there . Don you better jump on that before he changes his mind Do you know who did your conversion? If not do you know who had the conversion the done ?
