I think something like this could probably be pretty easily built and used with the wycked hitch system. I would invert it and make sure it was kicked out from the rear tire a bit, but if you were intent on carrying a spare, I think this would be a good route to go.
Thank you @av8ingtom
Thank you @Rob the Slob, @ericastar76, @mytoy and @Trooper.

Thank you Brother!!
Display MoreWell I haven't thought about that @SSREAPER. But something else has popped up lately that I'm not sure how to handle.
Ill give you an example....
Lets say I have a paying vendor called XYZ Products. For months and months the vendor does great. But as time goes on they start having some customer complaints. All these complaints are being posted in their XYZ Products vendor section. At this point as long as they pay the monthly fee they can stay. They would only be hurting themselves if they didn't follow up with customers and fix the issues.
However,,,,,After a while this XYZ Products stops paying the monthly advertising fee. My decision would be easy if they did't have ongoing conversations and threads with issues in their vendor section. I would just turn that section off. The vendor would simply disappear from the forum.
Here is the my issue,,,,,, Since the vendor has threads loaded with ongoing issues I cant just turn them off. Well I could, but that would't be very nice to everyone that has been participating and following the post in that section.
So now I have a non paying vendor that i cant remove due to it getting rid of ongoing discussions and issues. I could close the threads and that way nothing could be added to any of them. But that doesn't help people with ongoing issues. So again, Im stuck wth that vendor. I could make that section with a special non paying icon. But that seems tacky also.
I just don't know how to handle this particular situation. Im open for some thoughts...
@rabtech I understand that you don't want to be tacky. That being said, when a vendor is a member of this forum, with a vendor tag, that means that the forum is endorsing that vendor (to me at least). If the vendor isn't doing a good job, then I say tag them. Screw tackiness, is SlingshotInfo.com about sharing information? I'd also say take it a step further. For nonpaying vendors, tag them as nonpaying vendors, but for vendors who have repeated issues, tag them as a problem child. Even if they are paid up on vendor fees, do not allow them to renew. Maybe another option is to put some type of rating system, (5 star scale or it could be broken down even further into timeliness, customer support after the sale, communication, etc.) this would be were forum members put in their personal rating of the vendors and a display of the average comes up under their avatar. Something should be done to hold the vendors accountable. Some are damn near stealing from forum members or making promises and consistently failing to deliver, and using our beloved forum as the means to do it. This would be as bad as a thief jacking your truck as the getaway vehicle to steal a bunch of stuff from your home.
There is nothing tacky about holding vendors accountable. Happy Birthday!!! 
I have never paid any attention to the heat on the shift knob. I have the DDM stainless shift knob that I polished.
So you are into polishing knobs, eh? 
I too am hoping the weather holds out... looks like we are supposed to have quite a bit of rain this week, but hopefully that just means we have really clean roads this upcoming weekend!
Right now I am tracking:
@adventure4me
@Andy Hatch
@av8ingtom
@jaytee
@Jdin
@lrobbi
and my 2 gems
@Candyman are you still planning on coming out? Haven't heard anything from you since the location changed from PoO.
@V-SHOT, just want to make sure I am tracking correctly. You have family from out of town and you aren't making it, correct?
@A-Team SS, are you planning on coming out?
What is that black rubber hose looking thing on the driver side of the engine??
LOL -> halfway done... didn’t forget (just swamped is all)
Hmm, I bet it’s a time management issue. How many hours are wasting time doing things like sleeping, showering and eating?
Got all the video encoded @TheRock ~> Just need to put it all together... Unfortunately, it may not be until Sunday before I can get to it. Plan on some garage time tomorrow. Got my sheet metal in and need to plasma cut/weld the housing for the oven heating element.
Here's a screen cap of what's to come...
Just want to make sure you don’t forget, you still have a couple videos to make!
I would say I get waves about 20-30% of the time. I never initiate, cuz I don’t see the Sling as a bike. I love my Sling, but I just don’t see it as a bike. I know some people don’t like that, but it’s just the way I see it. From the front it looks like a car, it drives like a car, it has a car motor. The only thing remotely bike about it is that it has a swing arm and is belt driven. That said, I’m not gonna be an asshole and not return a wave if a biker does wave. Also, I guess I have been lucky as far as not having received any comments to the effect of getting a real bike.
Has this Cat come out of the bag yet?
I have been wanting to add a Top but concerned about fumes getting worse.
Display MoreNot trying to keep everyone waiting.
It’s basically an air deflector. Jeff has tested and it’s taken fumes from 20ppm down to 2ppm. It’s a sure fix. But he is still working to find the perfect placement and also make it. They will be available within the month. Stay tuned.

@Pascal, @angie@WP came out and said it was an air deflector. She also said they’d be available within the month, though I don’t think they have been released, unless I just missed that.
I hate to be the one that needs my hand held, but which thread?
Maybe we should have started with a POLL first. PLEASE VOTE ON WINDBREAKER!!!
Very interesting read! Thank you for posting!!
Ok, so it looks like only a few of us are looking for rooms. Probably not enough to get a group rate. I'd suggest just going ahead and booking if you plan to get one. We are planning on staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Harrisonburg.
Anyone else looking to get a Hotel, or just Tom and I?
What those guys said!! The organized rides suck... they are intended to take you on a quick 40 minute ride and then to get you back to the fairground to spend money at the vendor tents. I like to walk around and see the vendor tents, but I personally would rather get back home, order the mods online and install them myself when I get home. Meet folks there and take rides that go out all day and enjoy the amazing rides, have lunch, dinner and enjoy the company of the most amazing people you will ever meet anywhere, ever!!
Start your own build thread when you start the project, that will be cool to watch!
I'm gonna make mine Flintstone powered. Remove the engine and transmission to reduce some weight, then all you need is a sawzall, cut a rectangular hole in the drivers side floor panel... and voila!! I will also do a build thread for you!!
