I've never seen one of those. Didn't know it was made. Looks like it'll stop all bad weather.

Butt ugly & probably not any better than their worthless trailer.
I ordered a trailer from them in Daytona at Bike Week.
Told me it would be done like in May or so.
Called me, told me it was done. Made arrangements to go get it.
Got there, saw it in this room, and went in to look it over. Was told politely to get my arse out of there, that was employees only. Told him it was my trailer and I wanted to look it over. He said you can look it over after we get it loaded in your truck and all the paper work is done. Right then I should have walked, but they had full payment for the damn trailer.
Anyway, to make a long story short, the 1st time I pulled it was to MN. Just got over the state line and was pulled over, no trailer lights. Took the fix it citation and went into town. Found me a nice deserted gas station with a canopy and unloaded the trailer. Left my daughter with the trailer, she was big and brave.
Unhooked the bike, rode to a auto parts store, bought 3 reels of wire, some solder, gas lighter, black tape, wire ends and crimper's and 2 new taillights. Yep, ripped all the wiring out and redid it all right there. The LEO who gave me the fix it citation stopped by a couple of times and watched me rewire the thing. He took the fix it citation and voided it after seeing the mess in the wires under the carpet......... Little BLUE wire connectors everywhere. When it was finished and all lights working, I had 23 of those little BLUE connectors on the ground. They had 7 ground circuits in it, and all went to the bike ground.
So, word of caution, be careful of their firkin fairing.

Looks are subjective. And a frame mounted fairing is considerably more expensive than a fork mounted one. (Though $1500+ is admittedly steep.) However, RJ's experience with the same firm's trailer definitely gives one pause. Thanks, RJ.

i called them today out of curiosity ....the company has been sepatared from hannigan motorsports for several years.
the price for a valkyrie fairing is $1800.....really
but from what the guy said it has more storage capacity than a I/S trunk
i like the bottom part of the fairing but the sloped shield is ugly , still the price is outrageous

RJ, That Hannigan trailer I bought from Dragbars was the same way. I had to rip out all the wires and redo the whole thing. The LED on the spoiler was dead too and that cost me $60. The fit and finish on the taillights was awful. |
