When used as an OBD2 reader/scanner, can the DDMWorks Slingshot Diagnostic Tool read transmission codes for ODB2 vehicles?
Anybody tried this?

The Bullet Speed V-Back Top has been bought by many owners, as has the Twist Dynamics Top. IIRC, the V-Back is one-piece while the TD Top is shipped in 2 pieces that bolt together. Having flipped my Slingshot after hydroplaning into a Jersey Barrier, my TD Top deformed slightly, but still provided plenty of protection for me. My only injury was a dime-size scratch on my left elbow. My only concern about the V-Back in a similar situation would be how well the rear mount would do, but I'm not sure if the DCC design with all of its many bolted connectors can match the TD Top or the V-Back. Just my opinion, for what little that's worth.

Waterproof 2-wire connectors are relatively cheap on Amazon or EBay. Looks like it be a Metri-Pack connector

Looks to be real!
While still on my Learner's Permit, I was driving my Mom's 1959 Chevy Bel Air and an oncoming cement truck lost a wheel and just missed us, hitting a vehicle behind me. Fortunately, traffic was moving slow enough that it just hit the front of the car behind me, but I can see how the above video could be real, given Interstate speeds.

Reminds me when the mechanic told the woman it looks like you blew a seal.

I bought an ebike with dual batteries when I was unable to drive while the Texas Medical Advisory Board decided if I should still have DL. With 2 batteries, it was supposed to have a range up to 100 miles, but the battery seemed to go down rather quickly when I was pretty much just using the battery and not pedaling. I only rode it a few times before they finally made a decision in my favor, allowing me to get my DL renewed. I'm keeping the ebike to ride for short local trips. Electric vehicles are ideal for relatively short trips where the range will allow someone to go someplace and get back for overnight charging or, even better, when their range is enough to accommodate several local trips before needing to recharge the battery. I've read where some folks who bought electric trucks have complained about how quickly the battery would run down when towing a boat or actually using it like a real truck. Anyone who plans on taking long trips that would require refueling a gas vehicle are more than likely going to be disappointed with an electric vehicle.

.....could be because you would have to slide it back before you can drop it and i dont believe theres no room to slide it back, so instead you have to pull/slide the engine off of the trans......I'm no mechanic but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once lol......
Although I've spent a decent amount of time underneath my Slingshot, I never really bothered to look at the transmission area and your comment about not having the room to slide the transmission back makes sense and would also explain why Polaris did what they did. Of course, that requires someone at Polaris to have actually thought about it. After the headlight wiring problems on the early Slingshots, I started to wonder.

Question Has anyone modified the frame to be able to pull trans without removing the motor? If so what mods did you do? Show pics.
When I first read that the engine had to be puled for a clutch replacement, I wondered WTH Polaris? I'm a little surprised no aftermarket company has offered a bolt-in replacement crossmember. I guess it might be for liability reasons, but it seems like some form of clamped or welded solution should work.

Nothing to it if you have done it all of your life. Just make sure that the power is turned off, even if you have to throw the main switch.
My Uncle was an electrician and loved to tell the story how my Dad was trying to mount some curtain rods in our new home and asked for someone to turn off the floor lamp because it was shining in his eyes and he couldn't see. The part my Uncle enjoyed the most was telling how 4-year-old me cut the cord and after being thrown across the room (his words), I cried out that it had bitten me! That story would have him ROFL.
He also had a co-worker who started growing a full beard and my Uncle told him he liked the beard because it gave him a hard-on seeing a hole with all that curly hair around it. The guy showed up the next day clean-shaven!

l asked my boss for a raise because 3 companies are after me. He asked me which ones?
I replied: gas, water and electric.

There is a 36-pin wire harness that I purchased so I don’t have to splice into the connections, however now my speakers sound weird.
Check that you haven't crossed your speaker wire polarity. Reversing the connections between 2 speakers can cause odd sound.

Page 51 of my 2015 Owner's Manual states the belt should be inspected every 5000 miles thru 50K miles and then every 50K thereafter thru 150K miles, so I would take that to mean an expected belt life in excess of 150K miles. Of course, harder driving or add-ons such as boost may result in a shorter belt life, but 150K sounds like a good average for belt life for a well-maintained belt.
