New bike soon to be triked

[Carbon_One]

As some folks know I wrecked my 05 Venture / Tri-Winged trike a while back and recently was hunting down a replacement. Well I brought home today a 09 Yamaha Venture as a start and will soon be making arrangments to have it converted by Hannigan. This a pic by the previous owner. I'll put some up soon.

Link doesn't work for us, but Congrats on the new ride!

That's wonderful news, Larry! Congratulations!

 

[Pegasus1300]

Larry so Glad you are getting back on so quick and have found a replacement already.Why did you choose Hannigan this time instead of TriWing?

 

[rmrc51]

Congratulations on your new ride! Here's to many happy and safe miles ahead! ThumbUp

 

[Deacon Don]

Good luck.. pix please..

Pegasus1300 I chose Hannigan this time around due to a couple of reasons.While I did like and enjoy the Tri-Wing I chose Hannigan because I wanted the independent suspension, disc brakes, larger storage trunk that Hannigan offers. I also liked the wider, lower, & longer stance of the Hannigan which I feels adds stability and smoothness to the ride. Of course all of this comes with added costs but I feel well worth it in the end. At the time I built the 05 RSV up with the Tri-Wing kit I was new to triking and on a limited budget thus necessitating the choice I made back then. I did enjoy the Tri-Wing very much and put on about 35k during the 5 years I had the conversion on the bike. We are just looking for the smoother ride and conveniences that that we'll have with the Hannigan trike. Having ridden other members Hannigan trikes I know I'm making a good choice too.

I recently saw a RS Venture with Hannigan trike conversion and it was a good looking set up. Sure you will be happy with your choice. Please post some pictures when complete.

Can't wait to see the finished trike ThumbUp

 

[Pegasus1300]

Thanks Larry. I saw over on VR.org that you are keeping the current 09 color scheme.I think you are going to have one very elegant looking trike.

 

[Carbon_One]

Yep I think so too. pepper But then red is one of my favorite colors.
I had a 01 Suzuki Volusia with the red over black paint theme as well. It too was a nice bike but not in the same class as these road sofas.

[Jonesy]

Larry, Leo3wheel has the same color scheme, triked by the same you want. He can be found here or venturerider.org, I'm sure he'll send you some pics so you can get a idea what you're will look like.

 

[Deacon Don]

Nice Trike Dude..

 

[Veritas44]

Larry,
Congrats and Thanks! Will be an honor.
Email me when ready and I'll get 'er rollin on this end.

 

[Carbon_One]

Thanks for those pics Jonesy. The only difference between his & mine will be the running boards I'm adding on. Hopefully after the holidays are over I'll get the bike into the shop. Gives me more healing time as well.
Found out today from the Doc I had two broken ribs and not just one as previously was thought. Ouch

Well between us and John at Hannigan's we've got the ball rolling on gettre done. I'll be dropping the bike off after the first of Feburary for the conversion. Could of done it sooner but wanted to get the holidays out of the way as well as getting healed up more. Hopefully completely by then.

Is it done yet ... Hit me on venturers.org when you get it done .. Can't wait to see it ..

To be honest I haven't touched the bike since getting it home. Just haven't felt up to doing anything on it. Oh I did some arm chair stuff like ordering a few goodies for it but that's been the limit of it. Current plans call for it to go to the shop the first week of Feburary. Hopefully I'll be well by then plus the holidays will be over too.

[Deacon Don]

Have fun with it. I did mine in Aug.buying goodies and planning for the new look is a lot of fun..Its just llike getting anew bike. CAUSE IT IS .

 

[Cougar]

Larry.. so how ya going about adding your aux tank ? you gunna wait till you get it back from Hannigan or install it right there? would they let you?
make sure they bring that rear trunk and seat back as far as it will go on
the false fender. the first thing that will happen is your wife will get on and she
will say how come there is no room left like it used to be? I even had to bring mine
back farther. there have been several members that has has this same problem.
and we still are not sure what causes it to happen.
I guess it would be more like the trunk location is off and she will feel like
she is being pushed on her back.
Good Luck!
Jeff

Thanks for the tip Jeff. Making a note of this & I'll make sure this subject is brought up when I drop off the bike. Wife loved the extra room with the trunk moved back with the TriWing trike. Probably will do my tank install after I get the bike back home but I'll check with John on this. My guess its not doable due to insurance reasons but it won't hurt to ask.

Do you install a clutch upgrade & DynaTek automatically with your conversion?

[Deacon Don]

Thats Nice...

"The bike looks like it is a good start for the conversion...

No to the DynaTek but yes to the clutch upgrade. The clutch up grade should be here any day now and will be installed prior to getting the bike into the shop.
