dragging pipes and hitch on Hannigan 2012
We have a 2012 w/Hannigan conversion. We love the ride but have one issue with it. We drag the end of the pipes and hitch when going in and out of drives and over speed bumps. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, is there a easy fix with out loosing the ride?
Thank you for the reply. I forgot to say this is a 2012 Goldwing w/Hannigan Trike
[QUOTE=Hannigan Motorsports;312048][B]Thanks much for this Post.
As with any Unit like our Trikes (or any other Manufacturer of Trikes) that has a 77" Wheelbase and low Rear Ground Clearance. "scraping" is an unfortunate yet common Issue. It is difficult if not impossible to effect a true Solution without conversely creating another which may be even more displeasing.
The best Method to address the Issue is of a Preventative nature. Easiest & Simplest Way is to decrease the possibility of dragging/scraping occurring by altering One's Angle of Approach to the Terrain or "Obstacle". Try hitting the Curb, Speed-bump, steep Driveway, etc. at an approx. 30* Angle depending upon the Obstacle itself. Doing such will usually avoid scraping/dragging all together or vastly reduce it from happening.
Hope that helps and will prevent or reduce the scraping problem you are experiencing.
All the best to you and we do thank you for your Post and your ownership of a Hannigan Trike [/B]ThumbUp[/QUOTE]
