We had a very personal tragedy
prayers sent to you and your family
@DocG, hope all is well, and thoughts and prayers are with you and your family (all family), especially that 2 year old who is pure good and innocence.
Let us know if anything is needed...
@KayTwo, you said what I said with more words... @sideseatdriver, give him a cookie!
@DKF Texas, thanks!
And finally, @Nemesis1701, use your logic and beam back over here! We've given it all we've got captain!!!
@Nemesis1701 & everyone else:
Please understand I'm not disrespecting you personally or ANY of the D12ers. It's just not my thing on a personal level. Been around the block & been thru many subcultures over the years & I've seen these types of things create division - that's all I'm saying. If that's what trips your trigger, then GO FOR IT! You still have my respect & friendship.
I understand the basis for the name is the Dirty Dozen (great movie! ) but I brought up the "music" group issue just so that those who weren't aware of it could be informed.
Sling on!!!!
Display MoreWell folks
I know I've been "missing in action" although I've been reading the forums.
We had a very personal tragedy that happened early on Thanksgiving morning. Nothing that I ever want to go through ever again.
In fact we are still dealing with it and our priorities have shifted for the moment from our family here on the slingshot community to dealing with this tragedy.
But we ARE a family regardless of what "branding" some may want or desire, or not.
Please, I implore all of you not to be offended, nor offend, with our posts here. Life is way too short not too.
So please excuse my absence while we try to soothe a 2 year old granddaughter in what's supposed to be a happy time for her.
Let's just be adults here and know we all have different opinions and thoughts - but that doesn't mean we're not family.
Now - Sling On!
We are family. Your words are as true as true can be.
Sling on, yes. Keep in touch, you need to work on.
Recover my friend. Unfortunately, I don't have good advice for that.
Yer' buddy forever,

Thanks all for your kind replies. We "got this" and will get through it. But what I want to see is @Nemesis1701 Come on Buddy, shrug it off - WE are family! (hmm, wasn't that a song????)
WE are family! (hmm, wasn't that a song????)

Hey Dick - how is that motor swap going?
Quite well, the only hiccups so far is that my local driveshaft guy does not want to build the driveshaft, so I'm going to have to outsource that and the stock fuel tank is going to have to be replaced with a custom stainless or aluminum one to setup my HO inline fuel pump and the return fuel line I will need to run, but that is OK, I'll handle the fueling issues we are all having by getting rid of the crappy filler neck and gas cap, going to a flip-top, and I'll put baffles in the tank as well as try to increase capacity yet make sure it still will fit in the same mounting location and not have to cut the frame or brackets. Hopefully the sending unit is removable from the tank. I have not looked at the manual yet to find out, if not, I can always buy another sending unit. But the Jenveys require a minimum of 45psi at idle and a return fuel line source, so it must be done. Gotta go to a baffled oil pan as well, where the stock eco tech is weak on the top end with the crappy "chinesium" pistons cracking, the Honda's one weakness is spinning bearings due to lack of oil when driven hard into turns and the oil splashing away from the pickup in the pan plus the valves springs become an issue when you run the motor for any time at the 9000 redline, which I plan on doing allot, so those will get replaced in about two weeks. My side pipe and header are all done, we are just going to finish grinding the welds, polishing the aluminum and then get the heatshield coated black and the aluminum may got to a polished ceramic coating, not sure yet.
Hey Sticker. I am going to help you by updating your Build in the build section. I will show you what I mean later. But for now I'll copy and paste and format it for you....

It's running as good as the quiet muffler will let it. I have a trip scheduled to DDM the end of January to uncork the power. I am adding a pressure operated dump valve so at 5 psi it shoots straight out. And then it will be super quiet when im in town and traveling down the road...
I am finally adding the WOT/2 STEP finally to the mix. That should be good for some nice flames.
