WIDE-TRACK INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION WITH SWAY BAR: Trikes with solid axles have four times as much unsprung weight as the Hannigan trike, which has similar unsprung weight to the original Kawasaki. More unsprung weight results in a ride which is much harsher. (Critical Law of Physics – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). Another negative effect of the solid axle is the sideways motion transmitted to the motorcycle seat. When only one rear wheel of the trike hits a bump, which happens most of the time on most road surfaces, the sideways motion creates a very negative effect on your lower back (especially for the passenger). Our independent suspension has almost no lateral forces on the motorcycle seat creating a much healthier, more comfortable ride. Our 54-inch wide track and CRX sports car stabilizer bar has made ours one of the safest and most stable trikes available. The Hannigan Trike with its wide track and CRX stabilizer will out corner most trikes. This superb combination will allow you to run with most of your two wheel companions on twisty roads. This no compromise trike has the best combination of plush ride and sporty handling.
Progressive Suspension I.A.S. Gas Shocks make them user friendly. Inertia sensitive damping enables the wheel to react quickly to rough surfaces while still maintaining full damping control for taut precise handling.
In-line drive shaft: We use the Kawasaki drive shaft in its original position to ensure smooth running and unbeatable reliability.
Drive Train: The 7.5 inch Ford Thunderbird differential has 2.73 gears. The Michelin tires are 195/55 R16.
Vented Disc Brakes cool quicker than regular disc brakes. We have retained the original ABS system. This increased the longevity and provides greater reliability.
Storage Trunk: The storage trunk is carpeted and spacious at approximately 5.75 cubic feet.
Style: Our aggressive looking hand-laminated trike body with integrated front and rear ground effects is a real eye catcher. It blends wonderfully with the BMW K1200 LT Series body style. The original BMW mufflers exit behind the rear ground effects for a beautiful custom look. We use custom Mag wheels with top-of-the-line Michelin tires.
The Hannigan Trike on the Kawasaki 1500/1600 Vulcan/Nomad has a 74" wheelbase and w/Steer Lite installed is 113" long. Track width is 49" and over all width is 59".
