Does anyone know if the roll hoops on a 2016.5 are the same as the 2017/2018 Slingshots or are the hoops the same as the 2015/2016 Slingshots?
roll hoops
-
I believe the 17 and 18 are different than the original. So like the 15 and 16 models they aren't tapped for the slingshade.
-
I believe the 17s started the drilled and threaded hoops. Prior years were not drilled and threaded.
Red beat me.

I don't believe so... Why do you ask? Did you want to mount harnesses to them??

Mounting Luggage Racks to them and just trying to decide which model of rack i need as the 2016.5 hoops seem to be different from the actual 2016 models maybe its just me.

Dang, fast paced thread. And of course I'm wrong again.

Do they have threaded holes on them?

LOL ~> we were all guessing at the start hun... could have been a bunch of different things!

2015 - 2016 (including 2016.5) are the same to my knowledge. The 2017 are different in two ways.
(1) the fronts have the tapped M6 mounting holes for the SlingShade.
(2) the opening inside the hoops (slots) are wider.
Not sure how other people's products mount inside the hoops so make sure the brackets are designed for all years or for your specific year.

Thanks guys for the help. Looks like i need the 2015/2016 version. can't wait to get my racks
I can confirm that @b.may. I have made, and am selling luggage racks for the Slingshot and the 2015/16 and 16.5 are all the same roll hoops. The 2017 and 18 hoops are different and required a redesign of the footpads to mount them. Welcome to the forum!

Touch base with @SlingLow -- he has designed and is selling some racks and has a setup for both 15/16 or 17/18 --- nice racks and nice price.

Thanks buddy - this is how rumors are started!

@SlingLow has the best looking and most functional luggage racks available for the SS in my opinion, and at a price that is about 1/2 of anything that is as well made. If I were looking today, I'd get those and MeanSling bags. I went for the SSLuggage system (over the hoop t-bags) before either of these had their offerings. The ones I have are nice, and I do like them.
All options are better than Corbin bags in my opinion.

Yes, you are right. Everyone had their chance when I made the originals and took the last of them to Maggie in 2016. The original design is still on my Slingshot and number two is on @Summer Breezes SS with the Stinger top. Twelve more sets scattered around. By the way @SlingLow racks will work with the Stinger top also. Drill and tap a couple of holes and use some spacers, not a big problem. I will try and remember to get @Summer Breeze to post pictures.
