Survey of Stallion Owners or Getting Close

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

Mattel, you are correct about the not starting the first delivered Stallion at zero. The reason is they produced DEMO Stallions before production Stallion that used those numbers up. Alot of those pre production Stallions did not have all the factory items or some have older items. Such as the adjustable pedels, the seat, The real early ones did not even have an opening hood. The first one I drove did not have any of the above. But it was nice enough to produce the order. It was really rough riding and rattled, but the concept was there. Ted

Ted,
That sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures of the early Stallions? They would be neat to look at. They would also be great information for a wickopedia article on the Stallion. I am still waiting for that to come out.

RCbates,

All I can say is WOW. Wow in that you may have the second production model made! Does it have the painted fiberglass below the wind screen? I know you have the two bubble lights in the front. Do you know if they did any updates to your bike? I hope you enjoy your new ride. Did you get a good deal on it? You can IM me if you prefer.

I am getting (hopping ) a new BILL passed in Conn. This would allow people to take a test on ( or in)a 3 wheeled vehicles. As of this moment You can operate any Motorcycle Trike etc with you M (Motorcycle ) endorsement the problem is if you showed up with a Stallion you could not take the test. If the law makers don't catch it they are going to pass a law that states you can take your test for 3 wheel Motor Vehicle . Not mentioning the word Motorcycle. This will open the door to any vehicle with 3 wheels.

RC,
I would not worry about how bright the lights are, even people with the new Stallions can benefit from some additional driving lights. The best bag for your bucks will be to add some good driving lights. I hear the hyper brights are easy to install, look good and are not too expensive. Good luck and welcome to the group.

I've got Stallion #215 and had the lights changed out to the ones that TMS uses on the Stallions that are now being produced and YES they do make a difference. Sorry, I don't know what the numbers are on these new lights as I had them changed out at the TMS factory. If you can get some they are worth it.

Those are a completely different unit. They even change the mounting on a retrofit. Just can not change bulbs. We had unit 175 done also. Ted

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

Looks like we picked up another Stallion owner! If you buy one let us know who you are!!!!

We traded for our Stalion just over 2 months ago at H&W Honda, Marshall, TX. We have 7000 miles on at this time. We attended Wing Ding with a side trip to Mount Rushmore. And a recent trip to the TRI rally in Branson, MO, where we joined TRI as GWRRA members. Production # 576 color Candy Red. We have installed side curtains and CB/Intercom/GPS.

Welcome,
Which side curtains did you purchase and do they reduce the wind velocity for the passenger?

We ordered the side curtains from B&G Cycle Upholstery (800-662-6139. It makes a big differnce with the wind and with the heat/AC.

Thanks for providing the information about this site and the Stallion T-shirts. It was good to meet you at breakfast in Branson. I met so many good folks it is hard to keep everyone seperated, in my mind, ha.

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

My wife (Chele) and I purchased Stallion #353 (Pearl White), a 2008 model from Cycles & Trikes of Frederick, MD while attending the Sturgis Bike Rally this year. We had test driven one at the GWRRA Wing Ding at Billings, MT in 2007 but at the time our finances were not stable enough. And, the closest dealer to us in SE Washington state is in Henderson, NV. Good thing Ford is now authorized to do repair work.

Currently she's in the shop getting repair work done to the upper cowl as a result of damage incurred in a "baseball-sized" hailstorm in Sturgis 4 days after purchase. We get her back Tuesday 9/1. Chele can't wait to ride it again (yeah...it's for her...but I'm permitted to take it out everyonce in awhile!).

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

Congrats Markie and Chele. Welcome to the forum. Bummer on the damage.

 

[Road Runner]

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

Markie, Is a Ford dealer repairing the dash damage?? I am not sure if they do non ford components. Good news if they will. So far, only Ford parts have been repaired/replaced at ford dealer for me(that has been too often).

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

Hey Markie and Chele, A big welcome to TrikeTalk from all of the admin staff!
I HATE being out when there is hail, and your tale has fully justified my feelings :yes:

 

[Markie]

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

A local shop experienced in fiberglass repair is doing the body damage work. They had some problems matching the Pearl White color but have reported that they were successful. Should be getting it back tomorrow.

Hello,
What company did you buy side curtains from and did they improve the ride for passenger with less wind velocity? Thanks

 

[Gorilla]

Re: Survey of Stallion Owners or people who are getting close

Markie, Can you ask if they have a formula for the paint? I'm bulding a spoiler and will need to paint it soon and the mix formula would be a great help. Thanks
