Let me start off by hopping you all had a wonder Thanksgiving with family and friends.
I have a bit of a maybe moral quandary here.
As alot here know I have a Motor Trike kit.
I had my driveshaft replaced under warranty in Sept.
Well I finally got under my trike today.
Much to my surprise.
The replacement drive shaft is the old style.
While the dealer was most cooperative and took a driveshaft off of a new build they had on the floor, rather then me having to leave the trike. Wait a few days and get home and or back over 150 miles each way on my own.
Should I call Richard at Motor Trike and ask for another driveshaft??Richard didn't know what shaft they were using. The dealer certainly didn't know the replacement they used had been redesigned.
Although Im sure the replacement part they were sent for their trike is the new design.
Is it unfair of me to even ask??
My warranty is now expired.
It was up sometime in October.
I feel as I should have gotten the newer design, or at least been told it was the old type.
The dealer did save me an awful lot of aggravation.
I feel Im in the middle here.
Im disappointed ALOT now.
I got a new driveshaft.
I was taken care of.
Any opinions would be more then helpful as I honestly don't know if asking is the right thing to do in my case here.
Asking never hurts and it is out of my hands anyway.
I feel that the original driveshaft did fail after 12K miles, and the new "old" replacement may do the same.
I am keeping this trike as long as Im able to ride.
I respect the opinions of most here.
You all have more trike experience then I do.
