Hannigan Brake Pads (Part Number)

[Cougar]

Jim has been nice enough to give me the part number for the disk brakes

on the rear of the trike.

 

In the past most of us started out with Brembo's and they kind of wear fast

 

They say now that they have had better luck with the EBC FA266 HH

pads and can be purchased at local motorcycle dealers.

 

I found that they will run from 25 all the way to 36 bucks. (for two)

 

I did some research today and found them at Amazon for $33 a set free shipping.

For newer type Hannigan Rotors now.

Good info,,,

I thought that they used Honda Civic or Accord front break calipers pretty much exclusively on all of their kits,,, I know the BMW and GL1800 do. Still good info to have in the old data banks.

Hope I don't lose the key to the bank to get it out again,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks Jeff! Sounds like your trike is getting lots of tender care.....

[Cougar]

George, They do use Honda Civic or Accord for the arm shocks etc.

but the rotor and caliber is from a separate company. that company that

make the rotor and the caliber send the unit complete the Hannigan.

 

When Mine was done it had the WRONG PADS ( and about 30 other kits).. they put pads for stainless

steel rotors and our rotors are cast iron.. *OOPS* it put really bad grooving into

the rotors and Hannigan had to resend us all new rotors that year. The grooving

started and wreaked the rotors with in 300 miles or so.

Leo, And do not worry. yours is fine LOL... they rectified the problem

over 2 years ago. to bad they had to send about 30 of us new rotors

and I might add it was FAST and great customer support. they were

not happy at all. but they took care of us. I still have my old/new rotors

thought about having them turned but not sure if they would get to thin or not.

still have them in the drawer. I myself want to try out these new pads soon

the Brembo's seem to ware pretty fast. I will also take pictures for you on

the removal of the brake pads if you like.

Jeff, Please do. My rear pads are squeaky, and I'm not too crazy about them. They do stop well. It is mainly an image thing.

OK the Hannigan calipers are from a Ducatti, or at least the ducatti pads fit! The issue with the rear calipers is that the stock RSV master cylinder just can not deliver enough volume of fluid for the Honda calipers so they make up special brackets to mount the ducatti calipers on where the Hondas would mount. Unfortunately the stock honda rotor is too large also, so they put their own custom made rotors on which have a smaller diameter. Thanks to Carbon one, he found larger bore master cylinders from Jeg's that bolt right up where the stock RSV is mounted. I am presently waiting for mine to come, and then I will switch over to Honda parts, but I am going to spend the extra bucks for EBC slotted and cross drilled rotors and most likely some kind of aftermarket calipers as well that will bolt right on. I will be starting the project in the next week or so and will take pictures as I go. I absolutely can't stand the noisy squeaky stock Hannigan rear brakes and am disappointed in that aspect!!! The Master cylinder I bought is a 1 3/16 bore with a 1 inch stroke...

 

Oops 1 1/8 in bore...

Here's the link to the master cylinders. You have several to choose from...

[gunboat]

hey you guys are bad. i have drum brakes on my motortrike. guess it's time to start looking for a kit to upgrad my rear brakes. thanks for the idea.

reguards

don c.

[Cougar]

Thanks for the Link.............. NOW all we need is for Larry

to make some kind of kit for us !!

[Cougar]

BAD ? This would be a great next winters project I bet.. It also depends

for myself on how this master cylinder would look and mount up on the bars as well.

[Cougar]

Robert, have you tried the EBC FA266 pads yet? If so how long was the wear?

[bongobobny]

No, I used organic pads direct from my local Ducatti dealer. The wear is not the issue, it's the noise!! Also, like you I suffered the dreaded "Rotors grooved up" syndrome as well. We had a trip to make before Hannigan could get the rotors to me so that's when I discovered via the local dealer about the source of the calipers. He immediately recognized the pads and had several different ones for me to choose from. I think he said it was from the "Monster" and other models. bought 2 pairs, one semi metallic to deal with the grooved rotors, and the organics. After the new rotors arrived I installed the organics. Rotors are still fine but the rear brakes have made that terrible squealing sound pretty much since day one...

[Cougar]

That's Strange I am hearing a few of you that are having this

"terrible squealing sound" I have never had that yet. Just wondering

what is causing that to happen?

 

So did you ever send your rotors back or have them turned for back-up?

OR are your still sitting in that garage grooved like mine? Or do you think it

is even possible to have them turned or would it even be worth it?

When was this ? The conversion was done in December of 09. That's exactly what's happened to the rotors on the wife's trike.

[Cougar]

There was about 30 of us including HD and goldwing about 3 years to this date.

They had to take care of all of us and they did very fast.

CONTACT JIM GOOCH asap ... And he will FEDEX new ones.

Take a pic and send it to him as well.

Jeff

[Cougar]

That would be about right. from about DEC 09 to MARCH of 10

Yep.....

NOTE: this is how great Hannigan is, they up-graded my rotors even after 3 years!

These new ones are stainless steel and the old is cast iron

[ragtop69gs]

Oh man... that is nice ! Can't wait to get mine. Probably tomorrow, as I'm a bit farther away. I really like that see-through body you have! I should be able to make it to your place now without a gas stop.

What ya think Jay. Maybe a supprise visit to the Cougar?

Larry

[Cougar]

You guys can come over real soon please!!!

 

This is the new 2012 STELTH BODY by Hannigan!

 

yes, and you wont have to fill up all the time like I do!

Jeff

[Cougar]

Jeff, Please do. My rear pads are squeaky, and I'm not too crazy about them. They do stop well. It is mainly an image thing.

 

Ya know I wonder if it is caused by the hard pads and the stainless steal rotors?

as i have never had the squeaky on the cast iron.. I also wonder if you can use

the soft pads on these new rotors?

 

Will find out soon enough though!!
