New Injection Molded Body Panels:
Say good-by to the slick hand laid fiberglass panels of the Stallions! I was talking to JD at Wing-Ding in SC, and he indicated the production lead times were approaching 9 months and would be closing in on a year if TBMS does not change over to injection molded body panels, or find another way to reduce the production time for their trikes. JD said it will be about 60lbs lighter, but the trade off is it will have more seams. It should probably improve the gas millage, and it will allow them to produce more in less time. I was amazed how ridged the body was, and how beefy the frame and other components were. I look forward to seeing how this change impacts the appearance of this model.
