How about led lighting install? Maybe a halo install. I know several people have asked about swapping to hid or led headlights.
I would say CAI install, regular oil change, right angle drive oil removal and filling.
Here's a big one! Belt tensioning.
someone needs to get Heather (HRMiracle) to move the cracked headlight DIY over here

This is perfect Cam! Now for the lighting additions are you looking for a DIY following the instructions provided with the equipment or a more waterproof installation? Rabtech's LED install is a wealth of information as well.
Rab's thread is a little daunting for the beginner. I would say basic basic basic

Messaged her to see if she will join over here or if we can use her DIY.
Specifically?
Radio upgrades, amplifier and speaker installs on the sling. Interior led's.

You got it brother. I'll get started on that here and finish when I get back and can add pictures.
If anyone else has any DIYs or wants to make one please add it and maybe we can convince Rabtech in to making them a sticky?

If you can teach a total electrical noob like me you can teach anyone.

Sounds like a challenge...LOL.
We need to get @TheRock on this as well. We both have the same disease of not letting anyone touch our Slingshots. It's called Touchnibreakdigits

maybe we can get them rated- like easy, moderate, and call for help!

Is that true? Something I read said that can be totally opposite. Black and white or red and white.

So I was kind of being silly, but for the most part, yes, it's true. I have seen some other combinations though, such as black with white stripe being positive and solid black being ground.

Cam,
Now for residential wiring Black is hot, white is neutral, and green (bare copper) is ground. For low voltage systems generally red is positive voltage and black is ground. Now for automobiles and complex systems throw that whole idea out the window. If you look through the harness in your Slingshot you will see dozens of colored wires. Best bet is to get the user's manual. There are full schematics that show what each color wire is. Unless you are good with a Multi-meter this will be a life saver.
Most auto makers use different color combinations for different Components. Charging, lights, gauges, and sound systems. Takes an electrical wizard on some.
I thought we were just talking aftermarket LEDs and such... automotive wiring is whole nother ballgame!!
My guess would be that Polaris would use the same type of system of wiring to keep things from being crossed up. Plugging lights into the charging system wouldn't be too good of an idea.
