Below are a few electronics going into my ride in the coming weeks...

Again, I am totally impressed with one of the community members products - Dieter Stueckle AKA @mytoy that I think it is worthy of a article
I must admit that when I first saw the MYTOY covers, I really liked them but I thought they were a bit pricey. I really did not like the looks of the Twist Dynamics covers at all (they are really pricey). Then MYTOY came out with a package price for all 5 pieces he makes which made it tempting... then MYTOY had a 4th of July sale... SOLD
So I got the Complete set of covers, double nut, cam adjuster bolt, and brake clutch at a discounted price of $160.00 instead full price less the 4th of July special. The parts came quickly and were packed with extreme care - Seriously, there was no way they were getting damaged in the mail which is nice to see. When I got them unpackaged, I was totally blown away with the quality - SUPER NICE PIECES - MYTOY even included an Allen wrench.
Here is my before and after Pics
Powder coating matches the roll bars,
…I have to start out this post saying that I am totally impressed with Phil Ward AKA @mniron and his hood buttons
At higher speeds the fenders if my Slingshot vibrated and moved which kind of freaked the wifie out a little. I was thinking about how to stabilize them without taking away from the lines or making it look funny. I came across Phil on FaceBook and Messaged him back and fourth - I called him and he was super helpful so I told him I would buy his gen 3 hood button kit when it became available (I like to spend my money with the little guys). He messaged me when he got his kit together and I sent him money (most places don't follow up so I was impressed with that)
The kit came and it was Awesome - it had the right size hole saw, a punch and his special template - I did not get a pic of the 15 pages of instructions in color - It amazes me the companies that send instructions in black and white and you cant make out the pictures - it did not require any specialty tools (which
Noticed the factory hood pads had disappeared - so Naturally the SlingMods folks are happy to sell me some replacements

They come in a kit but without the alcohol wipes that everything else comes with...

Super simple to install - and it takes up the space the factory ones did
20180608_175813.jpg20180614_184147.jpg20180609_185626.jpg
Fairly inexpensive - looks great and I believe has some function
Took the battery panel off and needed to do some work back there
-
What a mess and really how would I ever get jumper cables in there
bought a fuse block and some other parts to clean it up a little - Hate the color of the frame - custom red overspray
Applied a little paint - basic black
Cleaned up the wiring a bit - added an Anderson plug for the jumper posts
Had to make a few wires - but got an 18 inch ground wire to replace the 8 inch factory one
Put all the fuses in and Cleaned up the battery - do like the Optima red top battery
Installed the battery -everything fit nicely - I like the the battery tray/hold down (it came with my sling)
Installed the Anderson plug to the back cover - stainless hardware - added a USB charger too
Why a USB charger you ask?
While sitting next to my Sling in a lawn chair at a car show it will be nice to keep my phone charged plus it was only $16
I think it turned out pretty cool - the USB charger has a voltage meter in it -
I do want to replace the plastic
…I ordered some stripe kits and added some color to the side pods

…Hey all!
My name is Jeremy and I purchased my SS on 9/11/17. I have been interested in them since before the release but never actually got around to test driving one until a couple of weeks ago. Taking advantage of the rebates that are being offered on the 2017 Base I called every dealer who had a base for sale and one I got the lowest price I drove out of state to pick her up.
I have had my fair share of motorcycles. sports cars, and ATV's. This is by far the most fun I have ever had in a vehicle. Even if you are not interested in purchasing one, you owe it to yourself to at least test drive. I've always used forums in the past so I naturally signed up here looking for information. While on here doing doing more reading then making posts I crossed paths with @Goats_Hogs . Brent answered any of my questions (lots of them) in complete detail, including pictures of specific modifications I was thinking about he already had. After many messages back and forth Brent made a very
