Has anybody here put the Baron's risers on the Hannigan trike with EZ Steer? I got some stuff done yesterday. Bluetooth module installed, charging phone mount installed, new LED Headlamp installed. Last thing was to install the Baron's risers. I got them almost in place but there isn't enough clearance between the risers and the inner fairing. I can't get them to fit flush together, hitting the fairing leaves a gap between the risers and the old risers at the top because the inner fairing pushing them out. I'm about ready to give up on them.

The few things that I ordered are here now. Today I will take the fairing apart to install the bluetooth receiver, phone mount with wireless charger, LED headlamp bulb, and install the Baron's risers. That's about all I can do for now. I've found that all the aftermarket chrome is almost impossible to get and those that have it are asking double what it cost new. I don't need anything that badly. Half heartedly looked for chrome air cleaner covers and a couple of other things but absolutely will no pay the price that one person was asking. Also would like to have the front fender rail and the stainless front air deflectors but no luck. Oh well, I'm fine the way it is. I've never been a fan of the pillow tip seats. I have a used Corbin coming. It will likely be ok, if not, I may send this pillow top to Rick Butler over the winter to see what he can do with modifying it.

I’ve seen that bike somewhere.

Have any of you put a Stratoliner wheel on a trike? I think they look great but am afraid it is too small for a trike.

Oh yea, but ours isn’t temporary.

I have brought myself up to date on how the Hannigan aux gas tank works and the things to be careful about. Just curious if any of you have switched the feed system over to Carbon One's style and how much trouble it was.
-
Well, I have ordered the risers, cup holders, bluetooth to aux transmitter, and a LED H4 headlamp bulb. Installed the riders backrest today that came with it but wasn't on it. I think that's about all I need for now. I don't plan on going crazy with upgrades on this one,. I know you have all heard that before though. Fact is, most accessories for the RSV are no longer in production and are too expensive if you finally find something. Only thing I would kind of like to add is the rear fender tips but they seem to be rare also. I'm happy with it as is.

Well, I am not going to go crazy with accessories on this bike as I have most of my others. It doesn't need much to be fine just the way it is. On the way home, I remembered that the stock handlebars on the RSV always caused pain in my shoulders. In the past, I have installed Flanders bars on one and Royal Star Tour Deluxe bars on another but I'm just going to try the Baron's risers this time. Will be much easier and I think they will work. I ordered them this morning, just hope I don't get a message back that they are no longer available. I also need to get cup holders. I'll get them ordered later today also. Other than that, I really liked the windshield pouches that I put on the Harley so will probably order one of them also. I think that will pretty much do it for this one. Oh...and a bluetooth dongle to stream music from my phone. They are cheap and my last one worked very well.

I'll update after putting some miles on it. Feels really so far on the hour ride home. Just never fell in love with the Spyder or the Slingshot. I think this will be much better.
