This is my entry.
I thought this would give those of us that did not have easy access to beautiful beaches a chance. Unfortunately, yesterday was the first time is 2 weeks the temperature was above -20C so I could only just pull the SS out for a quick pic. Happy New Year
Purchased a Nelson Rigg Half cover. I have a Full Cover from Polaris. It's a quality heavy duty cover but it's bulky and barely fits in the behind seat storage compartment and needs to be "stuffed" in. Hoping this half cover can fit behind the seat leaving the behind the seat storage area open for other things?
I have the half cover, which I have modified slightly to be used with my Stringray top. It folds up into the storage bag it came with, and I stuff it down beside the passenger seat on the outside when travelling.
Only 1200 miles from me. That looks like a bucket list trip! Absolutely beautiful!
FWIW we absolutely loved our trip down to Monterey, so if you have the time, the trip up is also well worth it.
And pictures from different angles and closed too...
Very nice indeed!
My 2 cents, but definitely better than adding speakers there...

Drove 500km through the mountains. The extra storage was needed as the weather was both hot and very cold and changed quickly. Having some extra warm clothes really came in useful.
I like the baggage carriers, but agree that they are $$$.
Travelled through Banff up to Jasper along the Glacier parkway:

Well they arrived quickly (although they were treated rather poorly by Fedex in transit).
Installation when fairly well. I had to chase a few nuts with a tap to get the screws in. I am happy with the fit, and utility, but now I need to refinish them.
Now we can carry more stuff with us when we travel.
It is according to where it is loaded. But then we do not try to take the kitchen sink with us. Before I built my luggage racks the wife had one side and I had the other behind the seats for a 8 days of travel.
My wife and I generally do 2 weeks every year using just the behind seat storage, but it's hard. I recently saw these at the Sundre slingfest: https://www.slingmods.com/pola…luggage-system-slinglines and immediately ordered them. Great idea, and it seems that it keeps the CoG low which I guess now makes sense.

A few from the get together in Sundre. Very much looking forward to a full blown event next year (Covid permitting).
Some pics along the way:

Visited the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, but back in the day it was the military College I attended.

Really disappointed to have had to miss this for the second year. Hopefully next year will be the charm.
But Slingshot beer comes in cans.
Well it looks like we are postponed another year. Border to remain closed until at least 21 July now.
Here in California we have those smog control vapor return gas nozzles and if they don't seal correctly they can be a pain in the butt - there is one station I often gas at that the only way to get it to stay on when gassing the sling is to hold the end sealing part up with my left hand and operate the trigger grip with my right - - on the other hand I gassed at a different station this morning and the nozzle worked perfectly and I could even lock it on and it kept going until the tank was full
fortunately the tank is so small that even if I have to use both hands to get the pump to work it really isn't that inconvenient
Man I hated those. I got very frustrated the first time I encountered them, and ended up doing just that (holding the rubber gasket with one hand).
Well my knuckles are bloody but I got it all done. More importantly the brake failure light has not come back on after an hour long ride.
Thanks to those that offered their insight, experience and advice.
You should be able to remove the mounting bolts and twist the cylinder to the side to get more room to remove the sensors
I assume you removed the panel from around the pedals to get this done. I don't want to do this because I have some interior LEDs mounted down there, but I think I can do a little drilling and cutting to get to the bolts through the panel.
Also, my dealer gave me a very large discount on the sensors as they stated that it would generally have been covered under warranty ( I am out by a couple months), and they could not get my vehicle in for 6 weeks.
I hope to get this completed next week and hope it resolves the issue. I am still cautiously optimistic the border will be open and we can get to Deadwood.
I saw this in Warsaw and I was not really sure what they offered.
A few years back, I posted a quick DIY procedure to change out master cylinder brake pressure sensors.

Thanks, I did read that but I am not convinced I can get my hands in far enough to do the work. I guess I will have to give it a try.
