Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?

It’s been a really long time coming!
I sent my 2007 Ultra Harley to Coach Rice Trikes in mid-February and just got it back last Saturday 6/21 (late for a lot of reasons – no one’s fault, 2,800 miles one-way). First of all, I have to say you can read all of the articles and other’s experiences on this forum, but riding your own is something different, and worth waiting for. I am pleasantly surprised at how well this Hannigan rides. For lack of a better word, I tell people it kind of “floats”. The suspension and Ultimate seat are going to serve my wife Jane well, where the 2 wheel bike and Mustang seat didn’t. I have put on about 500 miles so far; about 150 with her, and I really like it a lot more than I thought I would. I thought to myself when I started looking at options; “NO WAY” I’ll ever ride a trike! But I also used to say 30 years ago that I’d never own a Harley either, now I’ve owned 3 of them. I didn’t have access to ride any trikes where I live, so this was a “leap of faith”. Oh yeah, Harley would let me demo one for 10 miles, if I was SURE I would buy it, and I did ride a Can-Am. Jane hasn’t completely endorsed it yet because on the longer rides (on the 2 wheeler), her legs would fall asleep. Her rides so far on the trike are not long enough to assess that. I did get an AirHawk-R cushion, so I think she will be doing okay when we go to Glacier National Park in 2 weeks.
My son who is a machinist had to lie down on the ground and look up under it at all of the mechanical components. He was very impressed, and he rides a Kawasaki Ninja, usually over the speed limit. The one thing he wanted to make for me though is an elevated tow bar that will have a 5” lift on it since the straight tow bar I have makes the trailer slope down substantially.
I opted for the mechanical reverse, floorboards, extra fuel tank, hitch and rake kit for this conversion. The bottom line is, I wouldn’t have done anything different, it looks classy and rides nice. I LIKE IT!!
Now the bad news; It is 75* outside and I’m working…but at least I have a view of the trike in the parking lot![/QUOTE]
That's a sharp looking ride, I love my 2012 GENII Hannigan and wouldn't think twice about having them trike my 06 Ultra Classic if I ever decide to do it.

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
[COLOR=#333333]After two years of planning and research I just took delivery of my Hannigan trike on my 2008 Goldwing. Doug and Aran from American Trike and Motorsports in Keene, NH hit one out of the park on this one. If you're looking for a quality trike builder in New England, this is the place to go. I knew it would look good but it is beyond good. Aran even figured out a way for my Kury footboards and heel-toe shifter to work with the Hannigan foot fairings. If you are thinking about the 180 kit and are scared off by the price, please re-consider. It rides and handles like an expensive sports car.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333]Thanks to the folks at Hannigan for hand building an amazing trike and also to the members of Trike Talk that made all the research so much easier.[/COLOR]

Re: What do you like about your Hannigan Trike?
10 years ago when we bought our Hannigan trike. All our friends told us were making a mistake. 75000 trouble free miles we are still riding it and it rides as good as it did the day I rode it home. If you want a trike that will last. Buy a Hannigan.
