It's Quiet Out Here

[rocket1lf]

It's been awfully quiet on this form. Has anyone been riding? I have every weekend. 150-200 miles for breakfast every Saturday. Has anyone done anything to their trusty steeds?

I'm about to. It's time for the wrap to come off. They want a whole bunch more now to wrap anything, so I decided to get it painted. I love the blue, but it's time for something new. It goes in next week, so stay tuned.

I also decided to get rid of the two little headlights, only one works on low beam, and fab in a 7" led headlight with a yellow halo running light. I'll have to change some wiring, but that's okay.

Going to cut up an old Bug fender and use the sheet metal around the headlight, with the bucket in it, and fab that into the fiberglass as mine is a fiberglass body, not ABS. It'll probably look like a locomotive coming down the road, but it should be a lot brighter.

I'm also planning a 2000 mile trip, with a few other friends, up into Utah and Colorado the end of May into the beginning of June.

What are you guys up to?

Rick sounds like a nice mod. Post pics of the process. With the limited number of Stallions built and people either using theirs up and getting out or something different there is a smaller group. We had to sell ours because MJ (the wife) could not ride it anymore.

Mine only has 60,000 miles on it, so there's plenty of life left in it. Hopefully we can still get parts for them in the future. This is the last week working for me. I plan on using it more in retirement. Rick

Well, I have 74K on mine. The car muffler I had installed over fourteen years ago, gave up the ghost. It did not have a hole that I could see, but the insides were rattling. I replaced it with another car muffler. And it was actually $10. less than fourteen years ago. It was kind of tricky getting it on the rack made for a four-wheeler. I used some boards placed crosswise for the front wheel.

Last week I had my seat upholstered. They added some more foam to the seat. That was $695. at a local automotive upholstery shop.

Here's a progress picture. The wrap is off and the locomotive headlight is in, except for some final detail work. Now all I need is a locomotive horn for it. There should be plenty of light with the big LED light working. It has a yellow halo ring on it for a running light. The light is a Vision X Vx series.

It's getting close to being finished. There is a lot of metallic in the paint with a bunch of gold flake. Neither shows up in the picture, but the shop says it sparkles a lot in the sun. Rick
