Why Go With a Hannigan GoldWing Trike?
WIDE-TRACK INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION WITH SWAY
BAR: Trikes with solid axels have four times as much unsprung weight as the Hannigan trike, which has similar
unsprung weight to the original GoldWing. 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 60-inch wide track and Honda 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 go quicker on corners than most of your two wheel companions.
This no compromise trike has the best combination of plush ride and sporty handling.
PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION I.A.S. GAS SHOCKS:
These shocks are very user friendly. Inertia-sensitive damping enables the wheel to react quickly to rough surfaces,
while maintaining full damping control for taught, precise handling.
IN-LINE DRIVE SHAFT: We use the
original GoldWing drive shaft in its original position for smooth running and unbeatable reliability.
FORD THUNDERBIRD DIFFERENTIAL:
The differential has 2.73 gears and 14x 175/70 Michelin tires on custom Pacer Mag Wheels on the GL1500 and 15 x 185/65
Michelin tires custom Pacer Mag Wheels on the GL1800.
VENTED DISC BRAKES: Vented disc
brakes are standard on each rear wheel for quicker cooling and longer life. Functioning ABS is maintained on GL1800
motorcycles equipped with the optional Honda Factory ABS system.
AUXILIARY FUEL TANK: The tank
holds approximately three gallons and has its own separate filler neck for convenience. The fuel is transferred
from the TIG-Welded heavy gauge aluminum tank to the main tank by the rider activated fuel pump. The tank is located
inside the trike frame to extend fuel range with maximum safety.
TAIL LIGHTS: The GL1500 has automotive
taillights with four brake lights, running and signal lights to ensure excellent visibility and safety. The GL1800 standard
vented ground effects allow air to pass through for better passenger comfort. The high-tech original equipment saddlebag
lights are integrated into the trike body.
STORAGE TRUNK: The spacious trunk
is approx. 5 cu.ft. on the GL1500 and 7 cu. Ft. on the GL1800. Which easily fits two full-face helmets and more.
A fully carpeted trunk is standard. It opens with the original saddlebag levers under the Honda top box, retaining the
single key locking feature, as well as the use of the remote.
STYLE: Our aggressive looking
hand laminated trike body and standard front & rear ground effects is a real eye catcher that blends wonderfully with
the GoldWing body style. The original GoldWing mufflers exit behind the rear ground effects for a beautiful custom look.
1800 FOOT FAIRINGS: They are
molded in one piece, not bolted together in the center like other competitive products. Providing increased strength
and a cleaner appearance.
HANNIGAN WHALE TAIL SPOILER with brake
lights is AN INDUSTRY FIRST! This completes the look with style and class!
