Hood Adjustment

[Silver Eagle]

I figured out how to adjust the hood on my Stallion. The right side (curb side) was higher that the left side. Tried adjusting the latch by lowering it and that didn't help. Then slotted forward top bolt hole on the wider hood bracket (with hood raised it's the bracket toward the rear) pulled down on the hood and tightened the bolt and now it's the same as the left side. Hope this will help anyone with the same problem.
Stallion is the best trike on the market. I have almost 13K miles with very few problems.

Yep no help, they told me they were afraid to mess with it as they could make it worst. Thats why I was looking for info on the fix.

I hope this picture works. If not maybe someone can help. Mark both washers and take out the rear bolt to be drilled down, place a large flat screwdriver between hood hinge and hood, drill only HOOD HINGE as arrow shows in picture. Mine I went approx 1/8". Be careful and only loosen the other (front) bolt enough so you can pull down on the hood and tighten the rear bolt and then the front bolt. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the pictures Silver Eagle I will have to think this through, to figure out if it exceeds my skill level. A man's got to know his limitations....<img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" />
