Ground clearance of a Stallion

[pmar6004]

I was wondering if any Stallion owners have had an issue with the ground clearance with their S. trike? Often times parking lots have a speed bump or two. Would hate to bottom out and cause some damage .

At present I'm waiting for my Stallion to arrive, having made a deposit earlier this month. Dealer said don't expect it until October-November. Meanwhile I'll keep tuned to TT and come up with a question or two that may have already been answered. If the above was one of them, please excuse me...!

The stallion is low to the ground, but not any lower than any other trike, or my GL1500. You do need to think about where you are and what you are driving. And always remember you butt is bigger than you nose, and you will not scrape any fenders

my wife has had hers for 2 years and 4 months. No bottoming issues but she does take her time in the parking lots. My HD/Champion I think is lower than her Stallion.

I have a 2010 and all i have had to do is inflate the shock system and it clears the speed bumpsutergreet:

Never even though about it, but it is not a Hummer!

Thanks to those that have responded to my inquiry about a Stallions ground clearance. Not being a previous trike owner, I was just wondering if it's a concern. Yes, I'm aware that the backend is wider than the frontend. That will become more apparent when mine arrives and I get some riding time in or is it more approprate to say "driving" time in? I guess that's a topic for another thread/discussion.

Mattel, congrats on your video and the numbers viewed. I am probably the result of at least 50 of those...LOL!

I think that one thing you may have to keep in mind is that from all the pictures I've sorted thru researching the Stallion that, as far as speed bumps go, the muffler/resonator is in line with the two rear wheels. So as the two rear wheels go over the speed bump they are "lifting" the muffler over with them so it maintains the same clearance from the speed bump as it would the road during normal use.

Now if something is lying in the road and the muffler/resonator is on a collision course with it....that would be another story.
