Reverse for RSV Trike

[Carbon_One]

I've made the decision to add the reverse kit to my conversion build. pepper The bike is now in Hannigan's hands and will be finished this week. I'll give an updated report once I have tme to evaluate it.

Larry, Makes sense to get reverse on a new build. I would do it. Great news!

That was my thought as well.

I stopped by Hannigan's tonight checking on progress etc. The bike is now a 3 wheeler with most of the work done. Body was still off so I got a good look at the reverse set up. I'm pretty impressed with the install to say the least. Brad, the wrench doing my build, jacked up the rear and showed the reverse in action. pepper

I've used the reverse a few times since picking up the bike and will say up front the system is a keeper. It has a nice controllable speed that doesn't seem to be too fast nor too slow. Using it to get the front wheel out of a HF wheel dock used to be a bear but with this reverse it's a snap. Once out of the dock I just pushed the bike backwards while sitting on it and off the trailer.
A couple other times I used it to back up a short distance a slight incline in a driveway. While I would of normally gotten off the bike and pushed it up that incline the reverse made it much more convenient.
Bottom line is I'm glad I opted to get this option on my build sheet.

[Cougar]

Just found out that to have it installed by a local vendor it would cost me
around $1600 for parts and labor. that will NOT happen in my life time :Crap:
Just keep rolling her I guess :laugh:

Be better if Hannigan would let the owner do this install. I already know
how to take the body off and have installed my own aux tank....and there
wouldn't need to be any mods made as the Carbon-One Aux tank is not in the
way at all.

but also have the option to have a dealer do it as well.

 

[leo3wheel]

Jeff, Would cost me even more because we have the Hannigan auxilliary fuel tank. Not worth it...

 

[Cougar]

Oh thats right a whole differant type tank. :AGGHH:
