Help with Hannigan width dimension

[mhgoldwing]

On a Gen 2 Gold Wing Hannigan, I need to know the outside-to-outside dimension of the rear wheel tire tracks.

Thanks!

Hmmm.... the one in my garage...

"rear wheel tire tracks"

Fart... I've got 58" - outside bulge to outside bulge...

56 ½” – 57” Outside to Outside Tire Track, depending how you look at it…

(I believe "wheel track" or "Track Width" is center of tire to center of tire)

Or inside to outside

Trying to determine if my friend can modify his 5x10 trailer to carry a Hannigan trike. Looks like it can be modified to do so.

Thanks

Let me offer a small bit of advice. Tell your friend not to do it. When I looked for an enclosed trailer for my Gen II I decided pretty quickly that only a 7X12 would work. If your friend has an open trailer, you need at least 64-65 inches since the trike is 61-63 inches wide. Even then you don't have much room if he hits a bump and it moves. Repairing and repainting a fender is not worth what little a bigger trailer would cost. I only Trike I ever saw fit comfortably in a 5X10 open trailer was a Triglide, but those are so small anyway it didn't matter.

As far as an enclosed, I even tried a 6X10 and couldn't even get it thru the doors. Just a thought. Also, my new enclosed 7X12 gives my plenty of room to walk around the bike after it is loaded and cost less than a major repair to the trike kit if something would have happened.

Thanks. I 'll pass it along.
