Will soon need to replace the front tire on our trike. Wondering how folks with RSV Hannigan trikes lift their bikes. Will a 3/4 ton motorcycle jack do the trick? Is there a chance that trike will flip to the rear? Thanks!

Leo, I know your still on your trip.. by now I have installed a Carbon_One 5 1/4 gal aux tank and also have purchased Carbon_Ones Hannigan Trike Lift.
BOTH WORK AWESOME!!

Someone posted how they lift their Hannigan trike on another forum. They use a ramp for the front tire and jack the rear. The rear can be jacked at the differential or the point where the trailer hitch supports meet. Jack stands can be located on each side under the rear frame. This is a great way to work under the trike. Will still have to jack the front end to remove the front wheel, but the rear wheels are ready for servicing.
Leo, this is how Hi you can lift the trike.
I had longer legs made up as well. (2 sets)
But looks like I can go another 1.5 inches.
the adapter is fantastic. and this is with a
full aux tank and all the junk in the trunk.
lifted straight up :10:

Lift is very nice! Have to decide whether I can use it or not in the space I have available.
AND :Shrug: why have you not told us all about your trip?
I hope it went OK for you.
Now remember is it the ADAPTER that makes this work, the Jack is the other half, then add legs , then remove Jack, pretty slick tool.
Glad to hear that Leo, looks like you had a great time. we have kids that live in Savanna. glad you made it home safe. now rest some more LOL
We will be leaving for Hawaii in 41 days.no trike :-(
