Last night I was thinking about how fortunate I have been to have the guidance of all of you here with the information that you have provided as I add mods and personalize my Slingshot. I can honestly say that thanks to you all I have been mostly protected from making any major mistakes as I have tried to personalize and improve my Sling and for the most part if I had to start over again there is very little I would change.
Anyway as I was thinking about this I thought it might be a good idea if there were a place where people could share the bad mods, the things you would change if you were starting over again.
The one mod I have made that I would do differently is my marine vinyl shift boot - in an attempt to save money I bought it from Amazon instead of getting from the vendors we all trust - The boot I got works and it isn't terrible, but the stitched seam that runs up the side does not run nicely up the back like it does on the slightly more expensive boots sold by slingmods & slingshotonly and it cant be positioned to do so and still fit in the shift well properly. It just does not look as finished as I would like and it buggs me. If I had to do it again I would spring the extra $10 and buy from a trusted vendor - so to anyone thinking about this mod - don't be cheep like I was, spend the extra $10 and buy the better boot.
So what are your bad mods?
what have you tried that if asked you would steer others away from?
no need to list the goods mods here there are plenty of threads for that already.
this is a place for the bad ones and the not so great ones
Please share - - the money you save - - - - - might be mine
