HOR Custom Paint Option - Input Needed

[Scotrod]

It is definitely worth while...I would like to start off with a correctly painted BLACK F6B and see what that charge would be?

A 'ride in in the AM, ride out in the PM' service should be 'do-able' if coordinated correctly.

Place a deposit on some 'tins', get 'em painted... Ride in/swap tins, get deposit back same day.

~$1700-$1900~ plus deposit????

"Dedicating" an employee for a day to perform a ride in-ride out service kinda screws up the trike shops schedule,,, But, like anything else,,, Mo $$ makes it happen.

The price would be a lot less for tins 'handed to you' for several obvious reasons...

Also have the unknown condition of the 'used' tins,,, So far, the trike shop has all new parts to prep/paint with the Sig Series bikes,,, Little dings and dangs on the old tins could add to the $$$

(I call 'em 'tins' even thought they're not 'metal,,, Too dayum much typing involved with 'tupperware'! LOL!)

Sounds okay if it works for you...I had mine done locally at dealer and love it so far..Cost was about $2000...HOR is to far for me and I did not know they painted bikes at the time...I for one, if my bike was not already painted, might be a little dubious about the arrangement,but it may work for some....Good Luck

Opas...might be a little dubious about the arrangement"

Whats your thinkin?

I think it is a great ideal.... making money is making money...the dealership would be foolish to not do a deal like this...all they have invested is a shop guy to do the swap, and one original set of tins......

Steve....I am always a little "dubious" about deals that I have not personally checked out for myself...I have no issues with the HOR deal for those that are interested, I just prefer to work locally and not with someone I do not know...If I lived closer to them and had a need to look into this arrangement I might "bite", but I am not...Just me I suppose, and my old fashioned ways...For those that have purchased painted bikes from HOR, I am sure they are happy with the bike as am I with mine.....I honestly cannot comment positive or negative on this idea until we hear from those who sent in their "tins" etc..and are satisfied with the arrangements.....

Opas,

I understand your reluctance however ...

I speak with the General Manager of HOR periodically, I can tell you that HOR is a CLASS ACT with an extraordinary reputation. I know of several Goldwing owners that flew in to Arkansas to purchase their Goldwinds and Goldwing trikes, now I know of a few F6B owners and I can tell you from the experiences that everyone has had, HOR has always been good to everyone. They are a Business that you can purchase from with confidence, otherwise I would not have invited them to be part of this website. Just my 2 cents.

I appreciate your position and if I ever buy another bike, which is doubtful at my age, (74), I would not hesitate to look into HOR..One issue is after sale service at some dealers. I have had lousy service , been lied to, and been shuffled to the wait list from local dealers that give you "crap" if the bike was not purchased from them...Granted Honda's don't often need repairs, but thanks again for the confidence in HOR.....

As they say on Shark Tank, 'I'm out'. My paint quality doesn't bother me THAT much.

[Scotrod]

The painted tins are great for someone who doesn't really want 'all black', red, or yellow. (That would be me)

A new color can give your 'old' ride a whole new identity,,,

HOR offers a lifetime warranty on the custom paint. (At least they do on the Sig Series, not sure why they wouldn't do the same on all painted tins)

I do have a couple little 'blems' in my paint job, but very hard to see and they don't bother me.
