  • Tricled hoodlinez

    Anybody here who has installed the Tricled hoodlinez?


    I can't find any pics of it taken in daylight only in the dark with the hoodlinez working.
    But I would like to have an idea of how it looks when they are not on.


    Think it won't bother to have them installed on a black hood but I'm having doubts with colored hood.
    Maybe the black strip won't look good.

  • European SS newbie

    Hi, my name is Philip, and I'm from Belgium, Europe.


    Don't know if there are other Europeans here, if so I would be very happy to hear from them.
    And from the non-Europeans ass well of course :)


    I've been crazy about this trike (and the Campagna T-Rex with the Aero 3-s kit) since it came out and was planning on importing a used one. But the hassle of getting the homologation to get it legaly on the road over here kinda hold me back.


    Last month I heard they were available in Europe so I just had to check it out in person.


    Contacted the importer and they hooked me up with a dealer for a testride.


    Took some pics of it, sorry but its a standard SS






    The SS was nice to drive but at first I must admit that I was a bit dissapointed. I thought it would be faster, more or less the bike feeling for acceleration but that wasn't it.
    It was nothing compared to my bike.



    And also slower than my car I think





    BUT the way it drove, the feeling of the road was impressive. I didn't wear a helmet so it was comfortable to drive till about 60mph (90km/h). To me it didn't felt like it wanted to be raced, not asking for high speeds. Just to relax and enjoy the cruizing.


    PERFECT for my wife, since she doesn't like speed, hates my bike for being WAY TO DANGEROUS and doesn't even dare to be a passenger on it. Think she will like to ride (or co-ride) this thing, and I'm sure my kids will love it too. She gave me thumbs up to get one if the bike goes out. Don't know if I'm going that route because I have no idea what the bike is still worth. Maybe better just to keep it in the garage.



    The purchase will be somewhere early next year. Season now is over, winter is coming, so I am thinking about feb - march. Just to have it ready for the summer.
    Of course it will be painted, or wrapped, to match the other things in the garage. Yellow/black is my color :)



    I've done a lot of modding to the mustang, both cosmetic and performance, so the SS isn't going to stay stock for long. For now only cosmetic changes to the SS, no serious performance. Went that way with the stang and had a lot of bad luck with it (Engine blew, transmission fail, ...) so it costed a lot of money.


    Thats why I now only wanna change the looks!


    I already bought a lot of goodies that are already on their way. Better have it laying around ready to install than waiting for it when the SS is in.
    I'm a sucker for lights and leds :p


    My stangs headlights are completly costumized with sequential direction lights, halo's, rgb, ... Did it all my self so i'm not afraid to open things up.
    Next thing for the SS will be some seat covers and a rear illuminated windshield.


    I will also be looking for the USA look with the 2 center foglights. Here we have the Canadian version with the 2 outer lights and it just doesn't look that good.


    That's it I guess. If there are any questions feel free to ask!!
