sharpietoo · Dec 17, 2012

Has anyone had a Hannigan convertion on a Gold Wing complied in Australia. ? If so, was it fitted with a Hannigan Emergency ( Hand ) Brake ?How long did it take to Comply and approved for Registration ?
I would really appreciate some comments.
Many thanks

Hi Colin. Welcome to TrikeTalk! Hopefully Hannigan has records of where their kits were shipped, so they may be able to help you with answers.

Hello Colin.
Good to see you on here. Great place and equally great people. ThumbUp

Unfortunately, the only kits that were sent to Australia were sent to a Dealer, US Trading Inc dba Causway Honda, which is now supposedly defunct. HMS has no knowledge or record of the disposition of those kits after receipt by the Dealer or the end users. Unless you can contact them or one of their former employees, you will need to locate an end user Client directly through this or similar forum/source to get those questions answered. There are HMS trikes in Australia and obviously they must have been retro-fitted by Dealer or Client to satisfy regulatory requirements and pass inspection. HMS does have a parking brake assembly available for those who live in areas where such is required by Law. However, whether or not those will satisfy Australian Law is unknown.

There has been a recent development and kit ordered by an Australian business entity. They have ordered a trike and it is currently in route to Australia. They may have the answer(s) you need. If not now, they will have to figure them out as well and can then advise you. Contact HMS for further assistance.
All the best.
