Cougar Posted October 22, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2012 Does anybody know what the brand of brake caliper is used on the Hannigan Trike off hand? (for a couple speed bleeders) Thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share #2 Posted October 22, 2012 Well so far I am at BREMBO.. but still looking for the thread size and pitch.. Whitney down at speedbleeder is awesome , she is sending me a few different sets to find out what the right one is... it also might be the same as the rear OEM of the RSV as well. I will find out soon. Brembo is used on Harley's as well. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted October 22, 2012 I will know in a couple days as I am working with Whitney and she also wants to know what works for us Hannigan owners to place it on her website, So what she is doing is sending me a few extra types to see what works... I tell her and she now will have the correct part number for you to order. :-) What doesn't work I will send back to her. Awesome folks at SpeedBleeders ! UPDATE SOON !!!

djh3 Posted October 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 23, 2012 Thats pretty neat a company wants to work with bikers and help folks out. Instead of reaming them a new one because it might be a special part or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted October 23, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 23, 2012 They are Ducati Monster rear calipers... Do you want a couple of spare calipers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Wonder why Jim says that they use Brembo? And sure :-) Bob, why don't you sent at least one to me if you want to get rid of both thats fine. this way if they used two different types of calipers , I can make sure the same speed-bleeder will fit both before I report back to Whitney. I will pay postage both ways , thanks. I will PM you my addy now. Thanks Bro. My Twinkie's should be here today I hope !

alwrmcusn Posted October 23, 2012 Share #8 Posted October 23, 2012 I had my 2009 Venture triked May 2012. I have had a couple of instances where the rear brakes became completely useless. Riding down to Helen, GA and down the Cherohala skyway. On the Helen trip I thought maybe I was using the rear brakes too much and not the gearbox. The front brake remained effective. So I was VERY carefull about braking protocols on the Cherohala. I find that the rear brakes as installed on the Hannigan kit on my bike work very well but only for a short time. If you use them with any frequency, they fade away. I'm not talking about hard and long brake use, I talking about normal touch and slow useage. And no, I do not ride the brakes. Last week I was riding and stopped at an auto dealer (car pre-shopping) and the salesman was admiring the trike. He was looking at the rear wheels and commented that the brake calipers were very small. He even asked if they worked well. I've noticed that Hannigan had a brake "fix" some time back, but I assumed my kit was after that fix. Any info on this that I should be checking into?

bongobobny Posted October 23, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 23, 2012 Jeff, the OEM may be Brembo, it just so happens they are used on the Monster! They are also used on the KTM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted October 23, 2012 The new rotors have holes in them and are larger ,if not you still have the old style, contact Jim @ Hannigan and he will send you out the upgrade at no charge. even with my old system in the last 4 years I have never had a problem like yours. Jeff best pic I could find from work. they should look like this [ATTACH]72378[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted October 23, 2012 Share #11 Posted October 23, 2012 Too late Jeff!! Remember I converted everything to Honda Civic this spring?? Twice the pad area and bigger rotors! That puppy sure stops now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwrmcusn Posted October 23, 2012 Share #12 Posted October 23, 2012 Cougar: That's what they look like on my trike. The calipers appear to be singles, is that correct? Is there a larger caliper/pads that will fit without altering anything? JFI, when the brakes are cool or working properly or whatever the blinky blanky I can lock up the rear end. But apparently when they get a little hot, they just quit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah. that seem very strange to me. as mine do not ever do that... maybe your brake fluid is getting to hot? then things don't work right? just a thought. And yes they are single. I am not going to change to larger ones as I feel it is not needed. it stops on a dime now and I am happy with it. I also will be changing the fluids soon. and that is my cleanest fluids on the trike at this point from 4 years ago. Just waiting on my speed bleeders and announce what one's are correct for the stock Hannigan set-up. should be here tomorrow and I will work on this over the weekend I hope.

But apparently when they get a little hot, they just quit!Myself I was just plain unhappy with the setup of the Hannigan rear brakes but I modified before the change that Hannigan initiated. Funny thing, they don't inform anybody about the change unless you complain about them. I went to stock Honda CRX rotors and calipers but had to switch the master cylinder to a 13/16 in bore Wilwood master cylinder and made an adapter plate and cut up my brake pedal/master cylinder mounting bracket. Had to also come up with new ss rear lines and line from master to y adapter. It was a fair amount of work but well worth it IMHO. The hardest part was coming up with the right bore for the master cylinder. Tried 3 different diameters before I hit the one I lke the best. Too big a diameter and no pedal travel but need a lot of force, too small and lots of travel but too touchy grabby brakes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted October 23, 2012 Bob.. I am sure I will not be doing what you did. however I would love to see close up shots of all the parts that you added and how there mounted. :no-no-no:you never did give us a write up on this mod....

Cougar Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share #16 Posted October 27, 2012 The correct size of speed-bleeders for the OEM Brembo Caliper from Hannigan is SB1010S M10 x 1.0 Just did my clutch these bleeders are the best thing since sliced bread. Thanks Whitney for working with me on this project. She will be putting this on her site soon. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
