Re: Stallion Modifications
OK had a busy week and weekend working on the Stallion
1) Hard wired the GPS power (you need a special cable or you will kill your Nuvi 660)
2) Added Hyper Lite Brake LED lights beside the roll bar
3) Added Hyper White LED running Lights to the Vents on each side
4) Added an AUX jack to plug either into the GPS or her I-Phone, my wife is a BIG audio-book person, now she can enjoy them on the Stallion
5) added a power port beside the cup holder to charge her cell
6) added a power port between the seats so my son could power up his MP3 as he is Big time into Hardy Boys and other adventure audio-books. He has even taken to reading books on the Stallion.
7) added a power port in the trunk
Mostly I have copied what the other fine folks on this forum have done so thanks.:D:D:D The power ports I used I found in the Boating section of Walmart, and they worked great , they are water resistant, and color match up with the Stallion interior, they can be flush mounted or drilled in.
NEXT UP
Re-do the Seats
Add some Front Speakers
Install Modulating Headlights
Purchase Aluma trailer

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]For the members that have modified the cockpit edge using the Rhino Liner material. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Does the passenger like setting their hands or arms on that area that is coated while they ride. I thought the grit or ruff surface would affect the passenger’s comfort. Do you have them leave out the grit or is it still in the mix?[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I like the coating the area ideal. I am always nailing it with by bad leg trying to get it over. So I leave scuff marks all the time.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I am close to getting the trike down finally so I can ride. My bad body sure has been taking a beating work on the modifications. I will post some pictures when I have it down and out of the garage. I just have the rear to finish and clamping the windshield modifications I did. (Still not sure on a couple of them.)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I located the darn Horn but I haven’t figured out the easiest way to remove it yet. If it gets too bad I may just not make the switch.[/SIZE][/FONT]
Re: Stallion Modifications
Hello,
I,m not aware of any grit being used in any of the coatings for truck beds ect.At this time ,i've used three different applicators RHINO/LINEX AND APPLIED MATERIALS. The Rhino dealer I used, also adds paint to the coating and really looks nice. None of the ranchers/cowboys or farmers have had any problems. The texture has a slight pebbling but is smooth to touch and have had no complaints from passengers The dealer added UV inhibitor to coating but probably just snake oil and I was'nt charged anything. Also,I had 3M protective film added to both fenders and bra added at front ,with film added at the leading edge by front wheel.However,I took a rock above the right running light missing the film by 4 in.A bit of advice,fix chips before you apply film and do apply the film as soon as possible. Make sure paint is cured.I'm not sure how one paints chips with the 3 part paint on the stallion.
Re: Stallion Modifications
Good Morning all,
Well I finally put the trike on the ground.

The jumper post are enclosed in plastic boxes from Radio Shack. The wires hanging down are for hard wiring a trickle charger. They are made using the battery side post.

You will see the side wind deflector’s I made are attached with 3m double sided tape.

The top windshield deflector is an 18” Baker, I think it is too long so I may order the 12” or 15”.

These links show the turning signals in action. But looks like the links won't display the full line it modifies everytime so the links are complete. When this is solved I will post them again.

Re: Stallion Modifications
Part 2
The Light bar in the back is a 48” Firestorm that I modified so I could mount it using 3m double sided tape. This is the second light bar the first one I damaged mounting and liked to never got it off. That 3m tape is some good stuff.

There is a set of yellow running lights when I am in a State that doesn’t like my green running lights. There is three light kits underneath on set is computer controlled and the inside is lit up with green led’s. The stallion looks awesome after dusk on but you still can see them just not as much in the daylight.

You can see the cruise pedals match my gas and brake pedals.
The seat foam was replaced by Bike Solutions and I don’t hit the seat pan anymore and the wife likes it too.
I didn’t replace the horn, that will be done another time.
Mounting the under lighting and routing the wires was very time consuming.
I hope I hit all the area’s if not I will post again.
Re: Stallion Modifications
Ben, Looks great. Good work. Where did you get the green plastic deflectors on the side openings?
Re: Stallion Modifications
Ben It looks wonderful! You've had a long haul and done so much of this yourself :D. Way to go! Those bright green wind deflectors you came up with look perfect with your trike!
Re: Stallion Modifications
Ben, great job:wtg:, you have a ride to take pride in!
Re: Stallion Modifications
Thanks for all the nice comments. I will get some pic's done when the sun isn't bright.
Everyone seeing it of a night is has been at an aw so far.
Billy I ordered the Green Plexiglas and made the deflectors on the body and the windshield. The clear top deflectors on the windshield is from baker wings. But I made the rest.
I will post a profile pic as soon as I can showing the lights off...
Re: Stallion Modifications
Very nice work.On your wing dams for the body,the picture looks like the dam is stepped and rests on the body or is the dam a flat piece affixed from the inside? THANKS for the pictures.
