Changing Rear Tires on a Hannigan Indian Trike

Questions have been raised about changing the rear tires on a Hannigan Indian Trike. It is actually quicker and easier to remove a rearwheel on this trike than it is to remove the rear wheel on many two-wheeled motorcycles. With the trike the owner can actually take the wheel off in hisgarage at home, whereas motorcycles without a center stand require the use of a lift with a drop down panel.

Since motorcycles do not normally carry spare tires, Hannigan Motorsports suggests that all riders carry a tire plug kit, or a sealingproduct such as Fix A Flat. Punctures are extremely rare on Hannigan trikes,and with the Hannigan suspension system rear tires normally last in excess of 50,000 miles. However, things do happen, and changing a tire on the Hannigan Indian trike is actually quite simple.

To enhance the beauty of this trike, Hannigan decided to eliminate seam lines by building a one-piece body which incorporates Indian-style fender skirts. To accomplish this required an innovative approach. Instead of removable fender skirts, Hannigan developed a unique mounting systemfor the entire trike body.
Remove the seat and unplug the wiring harness. Remove the four 5/16 inch nuts that secure the body to the frame. Two people are required to lift the body off in order to remove the wheels. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, slightly more if there is a backrest installed on the trike. Reverse the procedure to complete installation. Detailed instructions are given in the owner’s manual provided with each trike.

ThumbUpSounds like a pretty simple job.
