Slingshot, Trailer and Roadtrek motorhome ready and leaving tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Have a great time, ill see you next year, drive safe and send me some pictures

Received my SSITS 2020 dinner cancellation check yesterday in the mail.

Hadn't heard but figured it was cancelled.

As of right now my RV is ready to go and my trailer is too, I will call my campground the week before SSITS rally to confirm their status. Hopefully everything stays on track for this event. I can handle most of the items listed that we won't be able to do this year as long as the vendors stay for the rally and a few restaurants are open in the area.

Please reply if you hear of any other changes as we get closer to the rally...Thanks

I use an F4 +9 and it works well for me.

Do you have any +9 deflection at speed either on the windshield edges or the top edge?

I currently have a +5 w/baker wings on the sides and D.S. top edge which IMO deflects excessively at highway speed so much that I'm thinking a higher center brace would help??

Has anybody heard anything about a 2020 Homecoming event in Huntsville yet??

Thanks

Well, I stand corrected, I ASSUMED that Guinness was involved at SSITS 2018 and again in 2019!

Thanks for setting me straight!!

I attended SSITS 2019 and know we broke the record of Slingshots, but does anyone know or has seen the 2020 Guinness World Record book for sale on Amazon to see if we are the most recent publication??

Thanks

Thank you very much for the info and confirming the fender fitment to our pre-2017 Slingshots!

The lower shock mount is replaced with a new predrilled one with three bolts and spacer. It all fit real nice on my 2016.5. It really helps with rooster tail and only get maybe half the tub , not hard to clean. Has a nice finish to rear end, no rattling at all. I like it.

Just Sayin

Did the predrilled shock mount come with the fender kit or did you purchase it separately?

I also own a 2016.5, Thanks for your help

look at the instructions I posted in post 4 above - it looks like there are other parts involved like a support block the goes on the clevis - - it also looks like these parts come with the fender kit

Assuming this this the case, why would Polaris only say this fender only will fit 2017 on and not our 2016 models?

Item #4 - Rear Fender, Shock Clevis, Black (Kit # 2883496-XXX)

Polaris shock clevis part #5266084-266 looks like what I will require to mount the fender to my 2016 Slingshot base?

I just found a picture in the Polaris installation instructions, it shows a rear lower shock mount with the extra 3 holes for the mounting fender bracket!

Can anyone confirm this is the 2017+ lower bracket on their Slingshot?

Thanks againSlingshot rear fender install.pdf

I recently saw a diagram that showed the factory fender bolting to the shock mount - it appeared to use three bolts that utilized holes that are not present in the shock mount on my 2016

If this is the case perhaps you could replace your shock mount with a part from a later year and then the fender might work

Thanks- That's what I was hoping!

Can anyone confirm the lower rear shock bracket has changed from 2016 to 2017 on?

Pictures would also be helpful!

Does anyone know why the 2017-2019 Polaris 265MM rear fender Item # 2883496-XXX won't fit the earlier Slingshots?

I can only assume the mounting brackets must be the reason?? Has anyone tried to mount the Polaris rear fender on a pre-2017 slingshot???

Thanks

I will be there again for my forth SSITS, always a great time with great people!

Staying at Stonebridge RV park again too, they have a few pull through sites in the middle of the park.

Be safe and see you at 2020 SSITS!

Update: After driving from Maine to the SSITP 2019 (Pocono's) over 1100 miles round trip everything is still quiet! I will grease the needle bearing again when I do my Fall oil change.
