peterbooth Posted May 26, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2010 Finally got the Hannigan LT Sidecar installed. Already done a couple of rides with a pillion and sidecar passenger. I will probably get the raked Triple Tree's installed. Other than the arm strong steering I am really pleased with the set up:big-grin-emoticon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted May 27, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 27, 2010 I wonder if there would be any advantage in having Hannigan rake the front end of a normal RSV, no trike or sidecar. I wonder how it would handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how it would handle? Quickstep has ridden mine with leading link as two wheeler, and quote: "handles like a bucket of s**t!!" Does that answer your question?

peterbooth Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share #12 Posted May 28, 2010 Side car also has a Hard Top not shown in the Pics. I will post some more pics with the hard top fitted later today when I get the chance:big-grin-emoticon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimhigh Posted May 28, 2010 Share #14 Posted May 28, 2010 I may have to reconsider the Hannigan trike conversiion and go this route instead. The wife doesn't think she would feel comfortable/safe in a sidecar...that is at least one of the obstacles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Eagle Posted May 29, 2010 Share #15 Posted May 29, 2010 WOW - that is really sharp looking - enjoy that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkei Posted May 31, 2010 Share #16 Posted May 31, 2010 I may have to reconsider the Hannigan trike conversiion and go this route instead. The wife doesn't think she would feel comfortable/safe in a sidecar...that is at least one of the obstacles. Beside your wife not wanting to ride in it ... there is a much steeper learning curve driving a sidecar rig and a trike. I had a Honda ST1300 with the Hannigan sidecar built at Murray, it ran great, but it takes awhile to get used to the bike pulling to the right when accelerating and pulling to the left when braking. I had my triple tree worked on in Canada and it made a lot of difference but that pulling effect was still there and was compounded when the wife was in the sidecar ... and she is not big by any means. I finally sold it and went through various bikes and setups until I got to the Hannigan Trike with the RSV. I would never try and talk anyone out of a sidecar kit, just maybe try and get someone to let you drive theirs for awhile before you pull the trigger.

Brenda H Posted June 13, 2010 Share #17 Posted June 13, 2010 VERY Interesting!! I've seen one of these rigs before, mounted on a maroon GW. I've never seen a sidecar quite like it. Never knew who made it before now. Couple more photo's showing Hard Top fitted:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbooth Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share #18 Posted June 14, 2010 This one is the LT Model origionally designed for a BMW Motorcycle, however it can mount on almost any bike with the right brackets. The one designed specifically for the GW is a GTL Model:thumbsup2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBJ Posted June 17, 2010 Share #21 Posted June 17, 2010 Welcome to sidecaring . Hannigans the best no doubt. It takes some getting used to but always a blast. I love mine so much I can't find a good enough reason to get rid of it. My kids used to ride in mine but their all grown up and ride their own bikes. Enjoy it!

tbbrider Posted June 17, 2010 Share #22 Posted June 17, 2010 WOW - that is really sharp looking - enjoy that ride. Wow that is nice.Started to go that route.But instead went to a trike.Don;t know if I hade a mistake or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvbailey3 Posted June 17, 2010 Share #24 Posted June 17, 2010 Very Sweet. Now I am considering this rather than a trike for my golden years. Which side is that, looks like the GTL version gold wing, is that it? :thumbsup2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barend Posted June 17, 2010 Share #25 Posted June 17, 2010 My wife says she actually feels safer in the sidecar then on the back of the bike. I am not arguing:whistling: I may have to reconsider the Hannigan trike conversiion and go this route instead.
