Slingshade Now Available

i want those so badly! but the whole thing about replacing the hoops... just kills it for me

one thing about this slingshade from what I can see is that it looks incompatible with almost all of the various accessories like luggage racks/bags and wings that use the roll hoops

You are correct Sir. Can I interest anyone in a set of hoop racks originally purchased from the infamous Bubblehead?

For those who may be contemplating Corbins...buyer beware! The latches are simply piss poor. I "wear" the bags simply for aesthetics. No practical use what-so-ever use unless you don't mind losing a bottle of your best scotch on a twistie.

I impulse bought the Corbins when I got my Slingshot. I never impulse buy. But I'd had good luck with Corbin with the Harley stuff, and they had a set mounted on a customer's SS there. I loved the look, hated the price... but got them anyway. I used them one summer, and sold them for 1/2 price. Looks is the only thing the bags have going for them. I'm happy with my fender now, and have much more room in my hoop bags for travelling.

Quality went downhill with Corbin so fast. Sad when a good company goes bad.

I know it is not a Sling Shade, but has anyone tried the Metricks roof?

Just wondering how they compare to each other. I am in NO WAY wanting to change roofs...I LOVE my MEAN SLING SPORT TOP!!!!!

@Candyman... Do they work with @Ruptured Duck top? From the first pictures of @FunCycles build, I'm guessing they might, but not sure...

I'm interested for that price! I suppose if @SlingLow isn't...

I definitely am. but got up 7 minutes later than MiM. I am on the left coast. I will send a PM to confirm.

You got it. As soon as it’s up and running I’ll post up.

Okay well we just came home in my brother’s slingshot. Mine is currently at the dealership getting a midnight cherry slingshade installed.

First impression. It’s a stunning top. The style and design are just amazing. Makes the slingshot look like a much more expensive vehicle.

For the record this slingshot has a madstad 9” blade installed. With the blade down it is very quiet and still in the cabin. It had some light cross breeze at 70+ mph and zero buffeting. With the blade up the cabin is flooded with air. Have only tested full up and full down. There’s probably a sweet spot in the middle.

The gull wing portions are abs and feel a tad flimsy when opening or closing. All the structural portions of the top are rock solid and there is no shaking or creaking at speed.

It’s a joy to ride with the top. I’ll never be driving my sling without one. Ever.

This is my brother’s slingshot. I will post pictures of mine when it’s done.

@Candyman had his in VA, looks cool.

Thanks @Cameron Roberts, I also love the low profile of the Slingshade over most aftermarket tops. I have seen the Slingshade in person and believe the frame is quite solid considering how light it is. Would like to hear from you after you have more time in the seat in regards to visibility and further thoughts. Thanks

I sat in the one at Brewer's on Sat. I do not believe you are going to be able to see traffic lights, I am 5 ft. 6 in. @sideseatdriver opinion when she sat in it was " NO but HELL NO "
