I've had a Hannigan Classic side car on my 2008 RSTD for alittle over a year now. It's been a fun ride. It took a while to get comfortable with right hand turns. I keep 90 lbs of weight in the sidecar, that seems to help. I highly recommend getting the rake kit. It was a night and day difference for me. I can do all day rides now without being dog tired. Adding the Electronic Camber Control and the sidecar brakes also helps. As mentioned earlier the initial set up is critical. My wife loves the ride compared to the previous bike- K1200LT with a Hannigan trike kit. Oscar V San Antonio

I ride a 2008 RSTD with a Hannigan side car. I had the final drive swapped out (RMSportmax using VMAX gearing), and a Kumho rear tire installed last week. Went for my first ride Saturday. The bike rides great, but I'm now hearing a noise from the rear of the bike. It sounds like a tire noise but I'm not sure.....I want to make sure it's not the final drive. Question for those that have Kumho rear tires installed, do they sound different than standard tires? Secondly, for those that have swapped out final drives, anybody had a similar issue? Thanks, OscarV

Great information on this post. One question....I just put a VMAX final drive on my 2008 RSTD (with Hannigan sidecar). Does anyone know how this change affects the speedometer and odometer readings? I've searched the forum and haven't been able to find this information. Thanks, Oscar
