World Class Motorcycle Products Since 1975.
The features that put Hannigan ahead of the rest of the pack are many, but of primary importance is the independent suspension with sway bar. Our independent suspension has almost no lateral forces on the motorcycle seat creating a much healthier, more comfortable ride, even for your passenger. Our 60-inch wide track and CRX sports car stabilizer has made the Hannigan Trike one of the safest and most stable trikes available. It will out-corner other trikes, allowing you to run with your two wheel companions on twisty roads. Hannigan Trikes have the best combination of sporty handling and a plush ride.
Progressive Suspension® I.A.S. Gas Shocks in all Hannigan Trikes are very user friendly. Inertia sensitive damping enables the wheel to react quickly to rough surfaces while still maintaining full damping control for taut precise handling.
The In-line Drive Shaft of the original motorcycle is used in its original position to ensure smooth running and unbeatable reliability.
All Hannigan Trikes use a 7.5 inch Ford Thunderbird differential with 2.73 gears matched to right-size tires to maintain the original bike ratio, except for the Hannigan Harley-Davidson® FLH series Trike conversion, which uses the original H-D belt drive and sprocket. Mufflers of the original motorcycles are used on all Hannigan Trikes.
All Hannigan Trikes come with standard disc brakes. On Hannigan’s BMW® and Honda® Trike conversions, the original ABS System has been retained.
An auxiliary fuel tank is available for the Gold Wing (4 gallons) and BMW® (4 1/2 gallons) Trike conversions with a 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.
Large taillights are standard on all Hannigan Trikes, often incorporating the lights of the original motorcycle.
Trikes are an inevitable part of the motorcycling culture. At Hannigan Motorsports Motorcycling is integrated in everyday life. A Renowned and unrivaled, independent Suspension Hannigan trike will give you the ride of your life. Style, Reliability, Handling and Comfort are our focus with every trike produced.
SUSPENSION
The fully independent Hannigan Trike utilizes several unique approaches to maximize both handling and ride: wide-track suspension, IAS shocks, and a stabilizer bar.
Some independent suspension systems use A arms which only allow the wheel to move in a vertical direction. The Hannigan twin trailing arms allow the wheels to move back and away from the bump resulting in a cushier ride.
Sooner or later, air shocks and other suspension components utilizing air pressure will begin to leak or fail altogether, resulting in poor handling. Also, air shocks require regular monitoring and are not user-friendly. Instead, Hannigan Trikes utilize dual Progressive Suspension IAS Shocks (Inertially Activated System) with dual spring loaded pistons that can sense when the seat compresses down and when the swing-arms compress up. The shocks automatically change valving to reduce impact to the seat. In a trike application they contribute to a more stable ride by minimizing negative lean in hard cornering.
Our 60-inch wide track and sports car-style stabilizer bar have resulted in one of the safest and most stable trikes available. In head to head comparison tests, the Hannigan Trike out-handles the best of the solid axle trikes while offering a ride that is judged superior by the vast majority of riders. Truly, the first no compromise trike.
Don't lose sight! Motorcycling is an event for everyone. Take your family with you in the safety and comfort of a Hannigan sidecar. The number one sidecar company in the USA has options for you. Hannigan Motorsports has over 10 Models to choose from and can be mounted to just about any Bike.
Superior Aerodynamics
The aerodynamics of a Hannigan Sidecar not only have less effect on gas mileage, tire wear and handlebar pull, but add to the appearance of this product. Our aircraft style windshield deflects a minimal amount of air onto the motorcycle.
Superior Carrying Capacity
The Astro 2+2, the SP2 and the GTL models have some of the most spacious cockpits ever to grace the side of a motorcycle, with enough space for a child carrier seat.
Superior Weather Protection
The hard top roof on our touring models stores behind the seat and can be put on in less than 30 seconds, so you are ready for any change in weather. Easy to use soft tops are available for most of the models that don’t have a hard top. Fresh air vents are standard in all of our sidecars. We even have Air Conditioning available to help keep you cool on those really hot summer days!
Superior Handling
Our low center of gravity makes cornering safer. The electric camber control (ECC) makes adjustment for varying load, road, wind and speed conditions as easy as flicking a switch. Many sidecars are built high and light causing them to lift easily on right-hand corners. The Hannigan sidecars are built low to the ground so you can take right-handers at a good clip, helping you retain the fun of cornering.
Superior Quality
Hand laid fiberglass makes a light and strong body shell, allowing us to put extra strength into our frame and mounts. Our custom machined clevises, heavy wall tubing, grade 8 bolts and aircraft nuts speak “quality”.
Superior Comfort
The side step and lift-up hatch opening make exit and entry into the roomy cockpit easy. The reclining seat makes these sidecars a great place for the passenger to lean back for a nap.

These heavy springs replace the original springs that are in the front forks of your bike. This is needed to compensate for the extra weight the trike kit puts on the front end of the motorcycle and helps to keep the proper distance between the bottom of the fairing and the top of the front fender on your bike. If you have already installed these springs for two wheel riding you do not need to do it again unless you think they may be worn out and are in need of replacing.
This unit decreases the steering effort by approx. 60% by replacing the upper and lower fork yokes with new ones. A steer lite takes the work out of steering a three wheel vehicle. This is an essential option for optimal enjoyment when riding a trike.
All “Raked” Triple Trees are not created equal.
Most trike riders regard a “raked” front end as an essential option. They reduce steering effort by approximately 60 percent.
Many riders do not realize, however, that not all “raked” triple trees are created equal. Hannigan Steer Lite is the only one with Fork Assurance Safety Technology (F.A.S.T.).
Check out these features:
Safety Stop: Positive stop makes it impossible for fork trees to slip in the triple trees, eliminating the possibility of this mechanical failure.
Ease of Installation: No measuring is required to ensure that forks are aligned properly within the triple trees. Saves time, guarantees accuracy.
Ease of service: the unique port makes it possible to add fork fluid without disassembly.
For safety and convenience, insist on genuine Hannigan Steer Lite with Fork Assurance Safety Technology (F.A.S.T.).
