After a lot of research and soulsearch I narrowed my choice down to the Hannigan and the Roadsmith. I corresponded with Hannigan about the auxiliary gas tank problem mentioned elsewhere and was assured that it happened only infrequently. And Hannigan, as I understand it, has no installation or maintenance manual.
I corresponded with Roadsmith which promptly answered all my questions in a straight-forward and factual manner. And Roadsmith provides a built-in trailer hitch and a parking brake, eliminating the velcro on the right grip or locking the bike in reverse and possible associated problems. Also Canada requires parking brakes, I believe, and I do plan on traveling there.
Ths choice was difficult - the Hannigan has such beautiful lines . . .:blush:
So - today I ordered the Roadsmith conversion for my 2006 GL1800. The bad part is that it will take about a month to get to La Grange, KY and another week to install at Morton's Trikes in Louisville. The good part is that it will all happen during a time of year in the Ohio Valley when no sane man will ride a bike!
I welcome any comments particularly regarding extra lighting on the rear and the lighted mud flaps and any other trike accessories.
