What roof do you recommend? I really don't want to replace my stock windshield. I found a used Twist Dynamic Gullwing online and don't know if I should go that way. I am also looking for something that comes on and off easy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

check out our new tops ! self supported by the roll hoops , so removal is simply a matter of pulling the two locking bolts on each hoop, not exactly accommodating for daily removal, but on and off is a breeze, now and again.
Which roof is that? Sorry did not see a link or a name.

That's a good price if you like the style! Many have the gull wing... It looks great!
You need to check out meansling.com. The owner is @Ruptured Duck a longtime member of the forum. He has made a top that is very reasonably priced, looks great, and is easily removed in minutes if you want to ride topless. I have had one for several weeks now and it is perfect..

Derrick,
I can't say enough good things about the meansling sports top. I had a Bullet top before that provides about the same coverage as the Twist and Gulwing tops. I found they only provided enough shade when the sun was in the position. The Meansling top makes you feel like you have A.C. in comparison. A final selling point is the personal service from @Ruptured Duck, the cost of about 1000.00, and the ease of removal and installation.
That Twist Gullwing for $1700 is a great deal. I have it and love it. The only other top I really considered was the mean sling...for cost, and overall look it's one of the best.

Agree - would like to look at it - if in good shape and the right color, it is a good deal.

If it's the same one that I think it is...pictures are available on the Facebook - Slingshot Buy, Sell, and Trade page and it's being sold by Tim Hunter Sr. He is in the Indianapolis area.
I like mine. Under $1400 on sale. Tinted plexiglass you can see through.
A lot of these tops are all personal preference.
The Gullwing for me was a no brainer because of the features. T-Tops you can slide off, easy in and out of the cabin, Sturdy construction, the shade it offers while still being able to see everything is awesome...the down side...you have a top on all the time.
The Mean Sling gives you the option to take the top off...but that means when you don't have it on, you could get caught in a random shower or get sunburns...the other thing is...where do you put it when you take the top off? But...it is hands down the best priced top on the market, it actually has a lower profile so it keeps the sleek appearance of the slingshot going. Add to it that Patrick is a great guy and backs his products 100% and he is a part of this local group, it's a great top to go with.
The Twist and the Bullet v-back are nice tops as well...I personally don't own one so I can't speak on it...but I love the flexibility it offers. Seeing people put luggage racks, bike racks, and other modifications to it...it really lends itself to being the "Active Lifestyle" top.
I have one of the original UP tops which is the Fab Factory now and I would not trade it for anything other than the Mean Sling top.

I had the original UP top. Got the 2nd one produced. The only problem with it was my wife has had both hips replaced and could not get into or out of the driver's seat without a great deal of difficulty. Sold it. I seems they have a different mounting position now but we both love the ease of use with RD's top. Will probably never go back to a top that isn't easily removed.
