New forum member with a new Slingshot

  • Here she is. A 2017 SLR Orange Madness. Just got it last week and I've already got over 900 miles on it. I have done the 500 mile service myself and changed out the angle drive fluid as well (all done in scorching heat / dirty parking lots because I can't do any bike maintenance at my rented apartment). I would blather on about how much I'm enjoying this machine, but you all know and understand that already, I suspect.!!!


  • Welcome to the land of "it won't stay stock for long!" ~> That said, it's the people, that I enjoy the most!


    Congrats on the new ride and for joining the best forum out there for all things slingshot related! :thumbup:

  • Congrats! I have been debating on doing the same! I want the Midnight Cherry model, but the financing sucks on that model. Probably wait till next year, hopefully they won't have a better color that I like over the Midnight Cherry model. In my area there are two used models like yours for 25k with 1500 miles on them. Thinking about those, but not sure!

    Yup. I really liked that model too. They have one sitting on the showroom floor at my dealer and it made for a difficult choice. But in the end, I had to go with the Orange/black.

    Will do. I just got my apartment here, so I still need to order the parts I want to install now that I have an address that they can be mailed to. Hopefully they'll arrive soon.
