Experienced Stallion service in Orlando area?

[mikehw]

Need to take my trike in for a few service items, and like all of us, would like to find someone / some place not TOO far away, and EXPERIENCED with Stallion trikes.

The main problem is, I hit a big pothole, and the hood no longer seats right, so it is not one of those issues to bring to a Ford dealer.

Any help is appreciated.

For the hood any good body shop should be able to help. As far as other items look and see what you have around for Motor Trike conversions shops. Motor Trike is the parent company tp TBMS. They MIGHT be able to help or send you in a correct direction. There are several Stallion Owners on this forum from the Orlando area how they can give you better help.

Thanks for the advice Gorilla. A body shop might be a good idea.

We used to have a dealer in Daytona (not too far from me), where my Stallion was originally bought, but they went away a number of years ago. I have received help from the factory before via email, they were very helpful.

I just have the common problems for an 08, brake light (I do have the new replacement part), mirrors (not enough grip left on 1 post), and my headlight plug got torn apart I guess when the wheel slammed up (I know they changed the design a bit). These are all issues that anyone familiar with working on the machine would be familiar with, rather than someone having to learn from scratch, which is why I am trying to find that 'someone' locally.

I also wouldn't mind having someone with familiarity giving the trike a general once over, especially the front end. It runs and drives perfectly, so I don't think I have any real issues, but its nice to have someone who knows what to look for check it out.

Is the Stallion factory starting up again, or still down?

They are part of Motor Trike. Same location just an additional building. So if Jeff can find a replacement drive train I would expect he would at least produce more Stallions to use up his inventory. If he gets enough sales again maybe back into full production but who knows for now. Last I hear Jeff was still trying to get a package together.

That would be good. I've heard from a friend that he had taken his Stallion to a Motor Trike dealer a number of times, finally the dealer said, "don't come back". That's not good.
