New Trike

[rmusick]

I am finally getting my 2013 Goldwing converted to a Hannigan Trike. I'll need to ride her about 4.5 hours to the installer, but then another 4.5 hours home as a trike. Been riding on two wheels for over 50 years and hope to be on three wheels for another 50! The motorcycle season here in Gunnison, Colorado is very short, but I'm hoping to extend it a little with a trike. Be safe and enjoy whatever you're riding.

1. Don't put your feet down:xzqxz:

2. Your now wider than a 2 wheeler, watch your turns lest you curb a wheel or hit a gas pump island:cxtv:

3. You now must turn the handle bars to steer. Hope you got a rake kit

YOU BOUGHT ONE OF THE BEST CONVERSIONS OUT THERE:clapping:

Smooth ride. Your passenger will love the extended wheel base. One of the easiest maintained conversion there is.

Been on these forum for years, been triked(with a Hannigan, of course) since 2010. Can't remember seeing any posts complaining about anything on a Hannigan unless it was an Installer problem.

Ron, I hope your conversion goes well and you have many miles of trouble free riding. Post a few pictures of your trike, a before and after would be really nice.

 

[rmusick]

Thanks for all the kind words and advise. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Ron... Welcome to 3 wheels.... only advice I have is, on the ride home, at first, do NOT exceed the speed limit posted on a curve sign - after you become more comfortable with the handling - LET HER RIP!

 

[rmusick]

Thanks for the advice PAWS. Good recommendation considering I'll be going over 3 mountain passes on the way home from the installer.

 

[paws]

To add: On the curves if you feel like the trike is trying to throw you off...just press your foot down on the peg or footboard that is opposite your curve...ie, if turning to left, push down with the right foot and vice versa.

Congratulations. May you have many miles of smiles:clapping:

 

[CrystalPistol]

Congrats … and watch those gas pump islands … and don't let her roll away from you when warming up.

That is the absolute dead ringer for my bike. I love my Hannigan kit. You will too. May have a hard time getting use to those Progressive's in the front forks if you ride bumpy roads. Been riding mine since 2014 and have only seen one other in 30 states of travel. The suspension can't be beat in the rear.

You have FANTASTIC taste in vehicles

Yes WE do! Thanks.

NECE Trikes


Had the kit installed by Monty with NECE Trikes in Windsor, CO. He done an incredible job and had it finished over a weekend. Had dinner with Monty and his wife at their house on that Sunday after the install. Great people!
