Stinger Top Thread

I'm glad you like your top and the instructions were complete. Their printer ran out of ink on the fourth page and I have a couple of blank ones. Anyway my top is on and both the wife and I like it.

bookmd, I installed the Madstad single blade adjustable 11" and was very happy with the results. I am 6'4" and I look over the screen except for just in front of the SS. Turbulence and wind in the face were reduced a lot. Install was easy.

ya'll've (yeah...that's a word!) given me a lot to think about...looks like I'll be giving Madstad more of my dwindling paycheck...
Cameron, the wife and I run a dog rescue and so I won't get to go to as many events as I'd like, though I have requested off for the Eureka Springs get together...you coming?

I'm doing the summit point track day followed by the smokies. No event plans after that. I've always spelled it y'allve. Hahaha Y'allve got a lot of work to do.

@Cameron Roberts Good deal, add us to your calendar
Hey vendors: I bet there'd be a lot of money in renting SS on track days...I could fly out, but don't have the time to drive or trailer to most places...

Where is the eureka springs event and when?

Quote from bookmd

@Drew71646 tells me it's in Eureka Springs, AR Sept 14-18...if you haven't seen our scenic hwy's...it's a treat...
And he tells he all the big guys (vendors, forum members) will be coming...

I would love to come, but my son is in school during those dates

It's definately top notch riding around Eureka Springs. We had a blast last year. So much so, we made hotel reservations for the 2016 event while we were still there.

In the news today, Fred Flintstone has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Madstad for their Stinger top - seems like the design has been around a while...

anybody else having this problem?

just checked mine, and they are good. Sorry you are having this issue- driver or passenger side? I feel certain that Mark will stand behind his product, and make things right.

Yes, that is exactly what I was talking about. If you measure the drop down to the drilled holes you will see a large difference from side to side. There was over a 1 inch difference from side to side just on the turn down alone. Drivers side on my friends top.

Hey if you guys haven't figured this out you need to go to lowes and get you the clear square rubber feet that go under furniture. Put those suckers under the contact points with roll hoops. Big improvement.

if you are talking about the one contact point that rests on the roll bar- MadSad has gone to a couple of round, 1/8" thick rubber washers that push in (he now has 2 holes in the contact point to push the bumper in.) No more bouncing on the roll bar, or gouging it.

Yes that's what I'm talking about. Made the top nice and quiet.
