    I could be mistaken, but I believe the Bullet Speed frame is also all one piece where as the frame for the TD comes in two separate pieces (a front half and a back half) that bolt together


    Not sure if it makes any difference except perhaps in the size of the shipping container

    people name boats - if they are of any size they all seem to have names


    As to me my slingshot is "Cage Free" - - I dont really call it that in normal conversation but if you ask me - thats its name.


    And if you ask me why that name its because when I am in it I have "Cage Free Eggs"


    and every one knows thats the best kind


    Edit - considering the above perhaps it is more of a sate of being than an actual name 8o

    I have to admit the one thing that has kept me from even considering changing seats is just how comfortable I find the stock ugly plastic seats - - Seriously these things fit me as well if not better than just about any car seat I have ever experienced - - for me comfort trumps looks by a large amount

    Even before I went with. 4 wheel mod, I got in habit of turning off traction control every time I start mine, I did not like how system works when a wheel slipped on wet road, it always seemed to override my driving..... I just hold down switch after starting it up as a habit, even when nice conditions to just turn all that stuff off.

    I think there are many people who don't like the nannies and turn them off - - - I must admit I would prefer a system where the default was to have them off and you were asked if you wanted them on when the car was started


    I think that in the world of slingshot drivers the percentage of drivers who have better driving skills is probably higher than in the general driving population and as such would rather not have computers making decisions

    according to Troy TrakHamr his kit maintains the traction control. he had it wired up all i had to was plug it in when I installed the kit.

    I do know that the kits are supposed to maintain the traction control, I just wonder if the system knows there is an additional wheel, or does it just think the back is still a single wheel? - - - more to the point does it always apply the back brakes to both wheels or can it control them separately?


    does the TrackHamr have speed sensors at each rear wheel?

    Ok I couldn't stand it any longer Got the brakes bled and drive shaft in, and put some of the exhaust on. still on jack stands. just had to crank it up and see how it done. while running it my traction control light came on around 2000 RPMs and then my ABS and BRAKE FAILURE light came on. I am hoping this is due to still being on jack stands and no weight on the wheels and actual drive time on the road. anybody have issues like this?

    I must admit this is one thing about the quad conversions that has puzzled me - the stock traction control / stability control system is designed to work with only one wheel in the back - applying the brakes to this one wheel as the computer deems necessary to maintain traction and stability


    So when a quad conversion is done how does the computer know they're now two wheels in the back that may need to be braked individually to best maintain traction / stability? - - - is the ECU reprogramed or does the brain of the traction control system still think there is only one wheel in the back?


    I know this doesn't address your question, but this seemed like a good place where others who will answer you might also be able to enlighten me :/

    Mine coming up on 3/11. Procedure is nothing, prep sucks big time!

    I learned when I got my second one that applying a little vaseline after each trip to the bathroom when doing the prep cleanse can really help to avoid the discomfort that can normally result from being a human volcano 8|

    I had to open the evaporative cooler back up this last weekend - was in the 80's and got up to 88 yesterday. only in the low 70's today but then will bounce back up tomorrow.


    average this time of year is usually mid 70s but it bounces around

    my only concern with either of these would be that something could possibly cause issues with availability when it comes time for the second shot - - - I know that some of the second shot clinics here were delayed because of the recent weather issues across the country. Hopefully with supplies picking up this won't happen again

    you might have to directly

    Does the ride command system permit a USB wired hookup?

    If so, then simply delete the slingshot from your phone's bluetooth listing. Hopefully that'll work.

    or could you skip the ride command and bluetooth the the phone directly to the helmet speakers?

    From what I have read a person doesn’t even start to build immunity until all least 10 days after the first shot and then it builds slowly until 3 or 4 weeks which is when you get he booster to get it to build fully and to make it last longer
