This weekend is project time. The bucket list of work to be done will be:
change out the stock bars for the Flanders G-2 bars, add +2" longer throttle cables, +2" longer Stainless Steel Brake lines front and rear, new Avon grips, SkyDoc's heavy duty clutch upgrade kit, replace the factory horn with a Chromed Wolo Bad Boy air horn. Clean up and reroute wiring for the accent lights. Probably do a check overall of the bike too since this will really be the 1st time I've had a chance of going over it since buying it. i guess I'll be busy enough for a while now. ;-)

It's starting to look like one of larry's bikes now, it's in 100 pieces all over the garage floor, maybe by Tuesday it will just be old parts on the floor We ganged up on it and tore the thing to bits :Shrug:

 

[Carbon_One]

Yep we made some pretty good progress on it Saturday. pepper Thanks goes out to Jay and Joe who came by to do most of the wrenching while I supervised em. :Coffee:Larry

I got a ???, when you have them trike your bike, do you get the parts taken off it back, or do they keep them for resale?

 

[Veritas44]

Owner Retains all take-offs except the Drive Shaft and female Spline Coupler from the Final Drive. Those 2 parts are utilized in the trike.
So, you actually do get them all back.

 

[Cougar]

Got all my parts back them ebay'ed them got back around $1800 to help with
my conversion cost

 

[Carbon_One]

Well it's offical now as I dropped off my bike this am at Hannigan's. Got a sneak peek of the paint on the body and absolutely love the paint theme.
Pics to follow later.

I like your ride, red and black to me at least, always look good together. Will have to wait to see the finished product, so I can drool and slobber all over your pics.

 

[Cougar]

I here you on that, but not from Coach Rice. I'm still trying to get my new rear shock from him. Going on 1 1/2 months now. Not happy with the paint either. Over 50+ clear coat bubbles and deep over buffing marks in the rear. Going to call John soon. Had to leave to Florida due to my son being in a truck accident.

 

[Carbon_One]

Ok now that I'm finally home I'll see about getting some pics up of the new trike.
I really like how this projet turned out. Thanks goes out to John and Brad at Hannigan for their work in getting another happy customer out the door. Also I must mention Ruth Hannigan as well since her, Brad and a couple others stayed an extra hour after closing time on Friday getting the trike done and loaded for my return trip home.

Very nice Larry!! I like the powdered coated wheels. Looks sharp!!

 

[berngren]

It looks good Larry - Good luck and watch out for the pebbles.

 

[Cougar]

Awesome Larry ! ThumbUp

 

[Rick Kay]

Great looking trike, Larry! Ride proud!

Very nice Larry!! I like the powdered coated wheels. Looks sharp!!

Wheel change was a last minuet swap. I was just going to get the oem wheels initially (same wheel ) but saw a Blue/Black 07 Venture someone had ordered with them on it. At first I figured I'd take the wheels to a powder coater near me but it was easier to just purchase them already done. By the time the tires were demounted, wheels powder coated and tires put back on it made more sense to buy these from Hannigan.

Those royals are nice bikes and I keep waiting to see if Yamaha will up grade them to fuel injection.

Ya you and a lot of other people waiting for upgrades to these bikes. I can live with the way they are now so no biggie, but if I was in the market I know I'd want FI if available. Plus some other more modern touches.

Well I'm slowly getting the bike back together. Had pulled the body work earlier to build and install a auxiliary gas tank and a reciever type hitch assembly. Both are now done except for having the hitch powder coated and mounted. Body is back on so now I'm adding a couple extra LED lights and changing out the LED lights that Hannigan puts in. I'm using a pair of the 32 LED assemblies from Custom Dynamics due to already having one of them. Otherwise I might of bought the 100 LED version.

[Cougar]

These? http://www.customdynamics.com/Yamaha_tail_retro.htm $89 each?
What does Hannigan put in? they seem bright.

 

[Carbon_One]

These? Yamaha Motorcycle Taillight- Custom Dynamics - Yamaha LED Brake Light $89 each?
What does Hannigan put in? they seem bright.

That type in the link but not the 100LED version but the 32 LED one at $50 each. They look much brighter than the picture shows on the website. I'd say they're about 3 times brighter then the 11 LED ones Hannigan uses.
I'll post a pic of them after getting them wired up.
Larry

 

[Cougar]

Thanks

 

[Bones158]

Larry, i did the same thing, removed Hannigans led rear lights and instatlled two of the 32 leds from Custom Dynamics. I also added two (one on each side) red led marker lites on the side of the lower rear fender that also blink with the turn sig.
