Made the Trade

[Freewheeling Ron]

So Friday or Saturday I saw a totally optioned out used SS at a local Polaris dealer. It has just about every option one could do. 2016 with 2,200 miles. Owned by a doctor who threw money at it. Pretty cool looking wrap over red. Aftermarket seats, steering wheel, shifter, stereo with subwoofers (don’t care cause I just listen to talk radio, hopefully it has am), top, Corbin bags, leds all over, carpet kit, cold air intake and exhaust, power coated wheels and lots more. I didn’t check shocks, but wouldn’t be surprised if it had upgraded. Pretty much priced as if it had no options. I knew I needed to move on it and got to the dealership just after they opened Monday morning. Worked a nice trade on my 2015 Freewheeler. Will take delivery Friday or Saturday. While I was there sales guy got no less than 4 calls on it. Meanwhile I’m trying to take many of the mods off my Freewheeler they don’t care about. Pretty excited but tough to get out in garage to remove FW mods and make room as high today was 35. I’m a southern boy and don’t do well when it’s really cold. Like a wasp in winter, just doesn’t want to move.

Ron, that sounds like a cool ride.

One question, do we call you SlingingRon, SlingShotRon, or HotShotRon?

Wow, haha. I hadn’t thought about needing to change my forum name but it will no doubt be necessary. HotShotRon I like but a bit presumptuous for a guy 68 yo. I’ll have to think about a new name for sure.

Hate to give up the Freewheeler but just haven’t ridden it in while. Maybe this will get me back on the road for nice trip.

Thanks rhino, David.

The Corbin bags are made for road trips....And they look great... Like they came from the factory, If i traveled two up i would have them on my S/S...

 

[Freewheeling Ron]

I agree and they really finish off the tail nicely. I need to find a trailer hitch that will work with them. The bags have had mixed reviews with some sealing issues and popping open. From what I’ve read Corbin has pretty much corrected these issues. I like the additional storage space and with a hitch the trike wouldn’t even feel a small cargo trailer and then tons of room. People really complain about Corbin’s customer service (lack of). But gosh they’re proud of them.

Any thing for the S/S Is dear, But if they do the job its worth it... I put the Stealth rear fender air foil with the LED strip.....Worth every penny [570 $ from SlingMods.com] I ride on a dirt/mud road to get into camp and the whole back end would be coved in mud, With the fender it stays clean...I also have the factory Sling-shade roof that and a taller windshield with a brace came with the new 18 S/S, As a no money changed hands for my lemon 17 T/G....And called the lawyers off...My next step might be a dedicated snow tire for the rear wheel ....

1st of all: With a name like Ron, "You have to be a good guy"



I tested out one of those SS, and love'd it, If only I had the room to store it

I do not think a person is ever too old for a cool name. :clapping: Or a fancy new trike.
