John! Welcome to TrikeTalk! Upgrade??? That’s a beautiful rig and Hannigan is a well respected conversion.

Whatever you wind up with ride it on over to Kerrville the last week in September and join us for the TrikeTalk Texas Hill Country Reunion 2019. No registration fee, no prizes, no awards...just a fun time riding the hill country, eating, and kick’n tires! It’s a mix of vehicles - all are welcome. Hope to see ya here!

Test as many as possible enjoy shopping for one then follow your gut feeling as which one fits you the best. One person's dream is another one's Nightmare take your time and enjoy the ride. Travel safe Fred

I would keep the Venture!!! I have an 09, love it. Just my 2 cents and don't want to offend anyone.

[Mykneesbehurtin]

Just my 2cents,stay away from any with the hydraulic clutch,issues with oil transfer. Look for a low mileage 13 or down,the 103 motor is pretty bullet proof.

So,did you have trouble with your 16 trans oil migrating ???? Curious why you say 13 down ?? I had not heard of any 16's having that problem.

If you're used to the nice ride of the IRS Hannigan, I'd be looking for another.

Make sure you test ride the TriGlide before committing to one.

103 is a good motor. The 103 in 14 is a better motor. Any trike you look at now that's used will have had the clutch issue fixed if it had the clutch issue at all. There is Zero oil migration issues on the Rushmore bikes. At least I've never heard of one. That's the Milwaukee 8 issue. I've had an 11 and a 16. Theres a difference and you'll notice it. The wife has a 15 and I now have a 19. If budget allows. The 19 with all the new technology is the way to go. But if it were me. I'd look bo older than a 14.

I have @ 2017. Clutch was fixed. It has 11000 miles no issues. Runs great. Did papa zooks rake kit and lift kit. Handles great. Added love jugs no heat issues.

I have a 2016 with 20000 miles and have not had any problems. Have several upgrades. Love it. See no sense of getting a new bike when I have nothing wrong with the one I have.

[ISP-FL]

Had a Ultra with the 103 and it was a good motor. Got my first trike (16) and it was great for over 20,000 miles. Now on a 19 trike with almost 6,000 miles on the M8 and zero issues.

Like someone else said, do a couple test rides at a dealership. Heck, if you find the right dealership you could probably test ride a 19 plus maybe a 16, 17, and 18 used.

Patients, the 20’s should be unveiled today. That should help with the pricing of left over models.

edit, new models tomorrow

[PosseRider]

No,but im not a big fan of the hyd clutch.

Hmm. My 16 has over 40,000 miles & no clutch issue ever.

[Sunman]

I had a 2005 CVO Ultra with 69,000 miles on it, a 2012 Victory Cross Country Tour with 30,000 miles on it and now a 2015 Free Wheeler with 31,000 miles on it plus a couple of Honda GL-1800s, all with hydraulic clutches and no problems with the clutches. I also had numerous other bikes with manual clutches and a broken clutch cable will sure ruin your day. I prefer a hydraulic clutch.
