Parking the Sling in the Sun for several hours

Fold the seats down!!!

A reasonably priced full cover

The sun will make the seats hotter than hell - just tilt them forwards or carry a towel that you can throw over the seat while you're at work ........ those were my solutions after taking it to the office and parking it in the sun just about everyday last summer

@Neosolidus the others are right, the easy fix is fold your seats forward. Way back when, some people were concerned that doing so reveals the relatively unknown storage to would be thiefs. I park mine in the sun at work and found the PRP seats hold way less heat than stock. I never jumped off the PRP's do to leg burn like I did with stock. The trade off I found was my back sweat more while driving with the PRP's vs Stock.

I don't know how all the new gel, stock seats perform in heat.

Once riding season gets here for me i am planning on alternating between the sling a other toys as daily drivers on nice days.

My concern is that the lot where i park for work is outdoors, which means the Sling would be getting hit by the sun for several hours and this might make the sling too hot to comfortably ride afterwards.

Does any of you park outside where it gets nuked for the better part of the day and how do you handle it. I was thinking of getting a windshield-shade and placing it over the seat/steering console but then i realized that wind might have something to say against this idea....

All things three sells a cockpit cover that works great - it folds down really small & it's tied on so wind isn't a factor. Available with/without windshield coverage. I have one & really like it.

Neo, Got lots of options....

I have a F4 +5 windshield and my Slingshot cockpit cover works just fine.

Just saying...

or.....you could put a top on it... just saying . All kidding aside, several of us ride these to work several times a week and down here in west Texas it's hotternshit so yeah... a top is almost a necessity.

Thanks guys, i had given up on a fit cover since i am planning on adding a tall windshield.

I have the F4 5+ tinted and use the Cockpit cover and the Trailering cover and
both work just fine.... Had to make some longer straps for the Cockpit cover

Really EJ? I didn't have to.

OEM straps were just a little short. Also going over the Baker 'Air Wings'..


The Gal that works for me pick up some strap material and made them for me.


Nice to have good help. This morning she sewed up some 'soft' ties for me.

well i am waiting on @Ruptured Duck to release his top to make my final decision between his and Gull Wing.
A top that can easily removed is something that can't be ignored, that feature alone has prevented me from buying the gull wing.

Don't think any of the 'fitted' covers from Polaris would work with the top. The 'Cover Master' probably would.

I also have the Baker Air Wings but have not had to have extra straps. So this is curious to me.

I got the cover @Tripod mentioned... Gently used... From @Mr. Clean...

Works great! But like @WOLF said... My aftermarket Cipher seats don't get too hot and I'm in Houston with that damn Texas sun @jorgebri60 brought up... Still topless... Waiting on @Ruptured Ducks MeanSling Sport Top!

Have you considered the Madstad Stinger top? The top panels remove in 30 seconds without the need for tools and can be reversed if you decide to go topless while on the road.
