WindRestrictor

Tim0341 · Jul 21st 2016

A company called WindRestrictor (King Penn Industries Inc.) in Dallas Texas contacted me to see if they could borrow my SS to develop a new product. ***I do not work for or getting paid to promote this*** This is a cool product to add some bling and it also cuts down on the wind turbulence in the cockpit. They have been inquiring about attending some of the rally's. Browse through their gallery and see some of the work they have done .

We have been working with Windrestrictor for a long time, almost every Solstice and Sky that come to our shop has one of their products on it, and the folks over there are very nice to work with. We have known about their work with the Slingshot for awhile now and are very happy to see it starting to hit the market. We should have our windrestrictor here soon and will post up pictures and driving impressions once we get it. Give them a call if you have any questions, they are always a pleasure to work with.

They are a great company to work with. In my Cadillac XLR-V days I had one.

just get it over with... have them do a custom windshield. Just have it a low cut so you can see over. Tell them it was your idea and you would like a percentage of all units sold...

I spoke with King Penn about 6 or 7 months ago inquiring about one for SS. So glad he has done it... I will be reaching out to him again.

Kinda seems like a lot of wind drag. :confused:

If they are like the "air wing" that I mounted on my trike right behind the passenger seat, they are supposed to reduce the air buffeting around your head.

While they may look good I'm not convinced they work b

Here's @ethermion on my trike, if you make the pic bigger you can see my smoke color air wing behind the back seat.

@Tim0341 did you get a new slingshot?

ethermion · Jul 21st 2016

Pfft, hrmm, burp, what? Somebody call my name?

Nice job, Doc. A pic of me where I don't look fat. I am not fat.

The trike is fun. And, unlike my sling, you can take it out of the driveway.

Edit: if the doc is skeptical, all y'all should listen. Like me, he rides. Rides a lot. Little things can make a big difference to your ride, or just to your wallet. The Doc is full of earned wisdom. Listen to him carefully.

Had one on the wife's BMW Z4. worked great!

Looks good too bad it won't work with the alpha or cycle springs wing

When I order it for my wife's z4, I had to get mine Custom made due to mine having a cuatom roll bar. They were extremely accommodating and helpful.
They are going to have an option of a notched version to work with the Twist and Bullet Tops mounting, so they could probably easily do one to work with wing mounting.

Hopefully they will have an option I have the alpha wing and fab factory top then I'll def be all over this

Yes I did! Traded in the 2015 for the white one. The dealership let me have both SS's for a weekend to swap everything over.

Does anyone have one on their Sling, and could give feedback on how the wind affects it? I have a concern that since it is right up there in the open, how will it stand up to stones, bird strikes, general impact at speed?

I love the concept hand have killed more than a couple hours coming up with a design I want on there. I really like the look it adds and the customization is endless. Even if people had similar themes on their Slings, this would let them stand apart simply due to the different possible graphic options and tastes

Bump,...anyone try this yet? Like to know how it holds up. I like the looks, just curious about stones and things hitting it. Possible other views or pics would help. Side angle and front. Thanks
