I think that something like that is the answer. Unfortunately, the Amazon reviews aren't good on any of those, Bearings falling apart, mild steel jack screw, etc. I think I'm going to look at building one with a similar top rail but that I can use with a hydraulic floor jack. I'll see what I can come up with.

I can get the jack under the frame. But the lift adapters can't be installed due to the floorboard braces. No place to lift it. I don't have the skid plate.
-
Yes, but when lifting the front, where do you lift from? Mine will go under the floorboards but then what? Without the lift adapter for the Venture, where do you lift it from? The only way I can see to use the standard lift adapter is to remove the floorboards and I don't want to do that every time.
-
Glad you like it. I don't use the reverse all that often but it is really nice when I need it. I have the floorboards so probably use it more than somebody without them. Actually do use it to back out of my garage. You are correct, it is NOT slow.
-
I don't think you can and don't know why you would need to. It just shows the term that you searched for.

Those of you with the Hannigan trike with floorboards, how do you lift it? When I changed my front wheel a couple of days ago, I had a hard time figuring out a good way to lift it. I did get it done but I did NOT find a good way. The normal lift adapter will not work due to the floorboards mounting brackets. I ended up lifting it with a floor jack under one of the stock floorboard brackets. Or course all it lifted was the front which was all I needed this time. Lifting it from just one side worked OK but was a bit scary. I got the job done but would prefer a better solution. Maybe the only answer is to remove the floor boards but there has to be an easier way.

Is this worth $350
Freebird replied to CrashRdKing14's topic in Venture and Venture Royale Tech Talk ('83 - '93)
The problem with the ‘83 - mid ‘85 is that they eventually lose second gear. That one is right about the mileage that it usually happens. Great bikes but the second gear issue involves removing the engine and splitting the case. It can be too expensive if you don’t want to do it yourself. Personally, I would pass. -

Man. So sorry to hear this. I would say that in light of it all, you are very fortunate. Prayers just said.
