Lehman Trike Parts & Info Thread

[Lee H. Mann]

I've got a 2008 Goldwing 1800 with the Lehman Monarch II trike kit. Any ideas on where to get parts for the rear axle, need park brakes, axle bearings, disc brake pads, and seals.

I can help www.mjtrikes.com. Have everything in stock.

Leaking axle

I need some help with my 2006 Goldwing Lehman Monarch II trike serial # C002338. I attempted to replace brake pads and the right side was a piece of cake but when I removed the rotor on the left side the brake drum was covered with it appears to be differential oil and the caliper was slightly wet inside. the whole area was greasy and caked in brake dust. it looks like I need a left side caliper and seal, also I was told at my parts store that the bearing was probably bad and ruined the seal. I bought the trike used and don't know what year the trike kit was installed. It is a straight axle. Would the park brake shoes be ruined too? Where can I get parts? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The caliper could be leaking, but that is unusual.

Axle bearings and seals should be replaced in pairs.

If you call me tomorrow between 9am & 1pm at the phone number on the www.mjtrikes.com website, I will talk you through the inspection process so that you can diagnose the problems and come to a solution.

Hey Jim!

I have an '86 FLHTC with an older Renegade conversion equipped with drum brakes (trunk lid hinged at the top to give you an idea of the age). It's good right now, but eventually it's gonna need brake shoes. Are the shoes still available? Also, was there a trailer hitch made for the older conversions?

PEACE and ride safe! orag:

They discontinued that conversion in or around 1998, it was prior to the Renegade and it was called the TOUR. Brake shoes, drums and wheel cylinders can still be obtained and they are fairly inexpensive. As far as a hitch is concerned, I made my own hitches even back then. I actually have a TOUR model on the floor that I might be able to mock up a receiver type hitch for your trike.

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the help! About how much would you charge to do the mock-up?

P.S. Thanks for setting me straight on the model, too! Been calling it a Renegade since I bought it last Fall.

After my last communication I looked beneath the Tour that I have will have to get back with you on a final cost b/c there are no mounting holes for a hitch on the tour.

I will also have to see if I can configure a harness for the trailer too.

Back then, Harley was not as sophisticated with their wiring and had very POOR ground (-). I will get back with you.

 

[Doug D.]

Thanks again, I really appreciate your time!

Older Lehman kit

Picked up a very low milage 98 HD Ultra with a Lehman conversion .( the trike kit looks almost new, no dings, scratches, etc..) How do I determine which kit it is for parts? I thought that it was a Renegade, but I just read that they had a "Tour" that looks similar.(trunk is hinged on top also if that helps). Is there an ID tag somewhere on the kit? Thanks

No ID tag other than a sticker installed when new.

Parts beneath the body are similar of not the same in the later Renegade. The trunk door is hinged at the bottom on a Renegade and at the top on a Tour. Other than that the bodies resemble each other fairly well. The driveline, brakes, shocks, body support and swingarm were the same from 1997 - 2002. If yours is equipped with drum or disc brakes, most of those parts are also available.

The differential is grease-able and needs service at regular intervals so that the gears stay lubricated.

87 goldwing lehman

Howdy I have what I am pretty sure is a Lehman strike kit on my 87 goldwing.

What I am looking for is where the mounting bolts are?

I found 2 steel angles that touch front by where passengers foot rest are.

The each have 2 holes drilled into steel but nothing into the fiberglass of the fender.

Any ideas of where the attaching points are?

 

[Lee H. Mann]

George, A picture is worth a thousand words. A picture would help identify your trike as well as the area of concern. Thanks

 

[Sunpoweredaz]

Sorry I should have included pictures.

I will post a few tomorrow as strike is at another location...

Hi Ralph! Welcome to the forum from west Texas. Jim is our resident Lehman expert - you are in good hands with him!

 

[Sunpoweredaz]

Ok sorry for delay. I think I got a picture of the mount.

There is one one each side front of fenders.

As you can see 2 drilled holes toward the front up against the fiberglass.

I started looking as there is some movement in the body.

I think there should be a couple bolts to fasten this point?

George, I believe you have a Motortrike and not a Lehman.

The bracket looks to have been added later and not original.

In the early 1990's Lehman and Motortrike aesthetically had similar body designs.

The links that connect the rear axle to the motorcycle are typically Motortrike.

Light Bar Grills

I have contacted Lehman and have been told they no longer carry these. They are chrome grills that cover the lens on the Monarch II rear light bar. I need one set which I believe they came in sets of two. Some how one of mine got broken

If anyone knows where I can buy them, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wayne, I will look and see if I have a set. You need both a left and right grill ?

Wayne, All sources have been exhausted and they have been discontinued for several years now. I have a set (contains left and right chromed grill) I will sell for $20.00.

TBM Disc Brake Caliper upgrade

I just put my hands on a limited amount of disc brake calipers that can replace the old TBM calipers that are no longer supported by TBM and the soon-to-be-obsolete disc brake pads that they use.

These calipers are fully loaded and virtually are bolt-on replacements that I am changing the pistons on. The pair are just about as expensive as 1 TBM caliper and must be used in pairs.

The Wilwood disc brake pad is not as dusty or as abrasive as the TBM pads were so you should get better life from the rotors too.

View attachment 62752

The TBM disc brake system was used from 1996-2005 on Lehman Harley-Davidson models before they used select Wilwood brake systems. The TBM calipers were used in conjunction with the LR1013 rotor and a spot parking brake caliper. The Wilwood is a bolt-on direct replacement and you can still maintain your spot parking brake caliper too.

We are rapidly closing in on Winter and putting our Trikes away for the season in most of the US.

Due to numerous requests and persistence to manufacturers, I have gathered some items that were, until now, unavailable to me or other Lehman Trike Owners.

GB1099 Parking Brake Lever used on Lehman Trikes after 2003 to current. I have 10 of these on order from the original manufacturer and should be seeing them in December 2018. Information for the lever is not yet up on my website until I have the parts in hand.

Justin,

I just discovered your post, must have missed it earlier.

I am pretty sure it is covered in this section of the forum, but I will try to explain what you asking and will provide you with some helpful tips.

The rear axle used on the Lehman Trikes with shaft drive since 2001 have been a recreation of the 1972-1978 Ford Pinto.

Lehman had these axles manufactured overseas to those specifications. Lehman also had a specific gear set manufactured as well. Since Lehman changed hands and now Champion Trikes has substituted their own rear axles to Lehman Trikes manufactured after 2013.

Since 2013, the gear set began to dwindle and there are no new gear sets available.

I am working feverishly to find suitable gear ratios in used parts.

I have exhausted all existing NOS gear parts in the US.

Ironically, very few bearings and seals are available in Canada where Lehman originated.

These bearings, seals and brake parts can still be obtained from jobbers in the US, but are somewhat limited in supply.

I try to keep wear items in stock for Lehman owners.

The one single overlooked service item is gear oil.

If you develop a leak in the rear axle, keep the fluid level in check until the leak can be fixed.

Occasionally the rear brakes need adjusting (5-10K).

The u-joint needs grease every 5K with an oil change.

Rear tire pressure should be 20psi.

I hope this helps.ThumbUp

 

[al smith]

I have a 2003 Suzuki C50 with a Lehman Romani conversion. I have part numbers and breakdowns for the rear brakes, also the installation instruction manual for the conversion kit with part numbers, and rear wheel and tire dimension diagrams. If anyone needs these let me know, I'll be happy to share the info.*

RussThumbUp

I would like that disc brake info. I have a 97 vt 1100 Lenman(don't know the model! has a trunk lid on top,not the rear.) Thanks al smith in Seguin,Tx (832-948-3682)
