Hannigan Rotor Upgrade

[Gunny_]

Can't beat Hannigan for customer support. My trike was built in Dec 2008 in Murray and when I heard of the rear rotor upgrade I called and asked about them. They verified the build and sent me the new stainless rotors and pads at no cost not even shipping.

Agree with you on Hannigan customer support.

Why did you think you needed rotor replacement? How many miles?

From what I've heard, the rotor scoring problem showed up pretty quickly, (less than 1K miles). My 2009 conversion has over 26K miles and never had a problem with rotors or pads.

What model (s) Hannigan is this happening? Are the GL1800s' included in the upgrade?
Thanks for the info.

Yes that is customer support.

That is the way it should be. Perhaps one day it will get close.

That is the best advertising they can have.

This was only an RSV upgrade. Originally I had the mismatched rotors and pads which did score and make a mess out of the pads. They replaced them right away. I mentioned to another owner I needed to replace pads (about 10K) and he told me about the larger rotor replacement.
The new rotors are stainless and are larger in diameter and thickness than the current ones. Trikes built from 2009 or 2010 in think use this rotor setup.

[berngren]

That is correct Gunny. I have the 2009 and the rotors are much better than the older ones. You should be able to stop on a dime now. I had to make some quick stops because of people sleeping in their vehicles.

Our 2010 conversion does not have SS with vents. They squeak at times.

Leo,
Are you going to call Hannigan and see what they say about your rotors and calipers?
Maybe if they say they can do something, you can side trip to New England and have a couple of lobsters on the way! It would be longer, but very well worht it!
Good luck!

[Cougar]

Jeff, You crack me up...

[pa_don]

Jeff's right... After much anxiety before seeing what was involved, even I managed to get this done in a nice quiet afternoon. But just don't tell Jeff about the long distance calls to his Chihuahua for support!

BTW, a big thanks to the folks here that made sure I would not have screwed it up!
And of course Hannigan, for standing behind thier product so well!

On a 12 day road trip, so far. Stopping at Hannigan factory today to have our rotors changed.

[Deacon Don]

I am Happy for all the Hannigan owners. I wish Champion had better support for there customers.

[Cougar]

Hannigan now just started the computer phone system and I am not liking it at all
I loved the personal touch before.

I hope Hannigan has not got to big for there britches. :-(
we will see though. they ALWAYS have been there for me.

Kind of hard to harass the guys when your pushing buttons for a call back --LOL

Have I said today how much I love Hannigan! Jim Gooch replaced our rear brake rotors and pads, along with implementing a solution for water getting into our trunk lock, at no charge! New vented, stainless steel rotors brake well and are quiet. The brake job would go for $500. I'm a happy triker...

[Cougar]

Leo, I need a farther away picture of that trunk lock please.
And with the the cap open as well please :-)
I might have to ask them to send me one.... Ummmmm
no charge for that as well?

You can just email me home email if you want.

Thanks,
Jeff
