wildbillh how good a job do they do? they look like they should have have been there from the factory! I like, how much? and where

WildBillH · Feb 21, 2009

I agree they look great... Don't know how good they are or if the make it any harder to get in or out.

I'll send you a link. Not sure if i can post a link here. Add you email address to your profile.

Go ahead and post the link. We have done that before. I have been waiting for this one to come out for months! Post it, as I know this is an item that we have all been waiting for.

Mattel · Feb 21, 2009

I found it. Here is the link:

Stallion Trike Trikes from Southwest Trikes in Phoenix, Arizona

This looks like a great new product from our friends at Southwest Trikes!

They do such good work, I wish they would post some more on this site, or become a dealer sponser like Zook.

They tried to go the extra mile and set up a Trike forum, but because they were dealers it made it difficult to manage.

With that said, great job from the looks of it, I cannot wait to get a pair on my Stallion!

has any one had experence with the wind dam or other air deflectors which one is working best ????

I ordered the Wind Dams.

They said it would be about 10 days to receive them. That was 6 weeks ago. I am still waiting. I have followed up 3 times and each time they have fail to meet the deliver date promised.

I guess red wind dams or the only ones they are putting out so far.

I was going to make my own but their style was a lot better looking then what mine would have been.

I will post when I do have them..

Fortsand · Mar 30, 2009

I ordered mine on 24 February and Jim told me 7-10 days at that time. I called at the end of 10 days and again about 2 weeks after that date. Each time I talked to Jim and each time he told me they would e-mail me an update but no update ever came.
Then somebody else on this board put me on to Kathy at Southwest last week. I e-mailed her and received a response the next day. She told me she had 2-3 sets of black cherry coming in last Thursday, one set was mine. She was going to send me a tracking # as soon as they shipped. I received another e-mail from her Saturday saying that they didn't arrive until late Friday night. She promised me a tracking# today but as of 15:52 hours it has not come forth.
While I am at it, I may as well give a report on the BakerBuilt windshield extension. This is installed above the windshield. They come in 9", 15" and 18". I have the 15" and I can't say enough good about them. They took that wind roar off my helmet which is what I was looking for. This Stallion is sweet now.

Please, be sure and post us as soon as you can, on how well they work for keeping the wind off the passenger, I think there are several of us just waiting to see if these will really work well. I have talked to TMS more than once, about their deflectors, but all they say is that their working on it.

CRBandit · Mar 30, 2009

Fortsand, I'd be interested in seeing pictures of this BakerBuilt extension. Thanks.

Fortsand · Mar 31, 2009

Here is a short video clip that shows the windshield extension and air wings. The weather is sour here and I have not been able to get out and get a shot. I found out later that the position in the video is not the best position. It works better if it is folded all the way down inside the windshield, in other words 180 degrees from the position in the video.

Mattel · Apr 1, 2009

Fortsand,
Your video did not come through. You may want to start posting to Youtube, we found that was the best way to post videos.

Fortsand · Apr 1, 2009

The link works for me. I haven't done the youtube thingy before.
What format is required?

Mattel · Apr 1, 2009

Bela did it for me. You just need to log on and take a look at the instructions. Sorry I could not be of more help. Someone else here may have done it more, maybe they can PM you.

I got my wind deflectors several days ago, from Kathy at Southwest Trikes. They are for my Black Cherry Stallion. The weather here in the Puget Sound area has not been good for riding, snow and mixed rain and snow, so I have not been able to get anyone to ride with me to see how much they help. Was hopeing to take the trike to the LA area this weekend but it looks like I will end uo taking the chage. I am so ready for some good riding weather. I will post as soon as I get a co-rider assesment on the wind dams.

Fortsand · Apr 2, 2009

Mine are due in tomorrow. I am curious about the fit and finish and color match.

Fortsand · Apr 5, 2009

The wind dams were a disappointment for me. First, they were shipped in bubble wrap and it left impressions on the paint. The color match is right on and the paint looks real nice in the areas where the bubble wrap did not make contact. Second, the fit at the top is unacceptable, (see pictures). Southwest did not do their homework on this. I have talked to one other member who had the same problems.
All of a sudden the way I learned to post pictures doesn't work anymore.

Fortsand · Apr 7, 2009

I just received an e-mail from Southwest concerning the wind dams.
They are having Fedex pick them up at my house.
Kathy also told me that they have learned that Thoroughbred had five different molds for the Stallion with fiberglass body. They are not going to ship anymore to owners with fiberglass bodies.
