Spent the day riding west of home. Ended up in Euharlee Ga at the Covered Bridge. One of the oldest covered bridges in the southeast.Built in 1886.

A well deserved gift to the both of you and your sling. Congratulations! They look awesome.

My twice busted Slingshot is now back in my garage. I picked it up from the dealership after driving it around Greer SC for an hour or so.
I loaded it up on my trailer and hauled it home. I’m very hopeful that the replacement of the engine wiring harness will prevent the problem from appearing again. It’s raining in Gainesville and most of north Ga. so I can’t do much test driving today. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and you all posted as to the possibility of a problem free Slingshot. (Haha)
Did I just even just say “problem free Slingshot”? -
Thanks Mike and Sue, another smile on Georgia's face....
I hope it brings a bit of sunshine to her day❤️

@MWSlingshot Thats is fantastic news....I truly hope it happens and it does fix the problem once and for all.

so sorry @MWSlingshot that does suck even if you could explain it - wish there was something that could be done to speed up the process but other than calling some of the largest dealers in the country to see if they have one on hand and are willing to give it up until the new one from Polaris arrives I can't think of any options - sorry sir
I don't know if it would help, but I'd get the warranty case # or whatever from the dealer and then start calling Polaris directly to see what they say about expediting your repair or making this right in some other way.
@MWSlingshot that truly bites. I believe that Polaris needs to step up the service work and part availablity. The dealerships shouldn't be required to carry everything, but should have a few of about all parts that are possible to fail in different places in each region. There is just no reason that the Mother Ship shouldn't be able to produce one for you within 10 days max. If they are running that close on them, they need to have more made and kept on hand. More and more Slingshots out there, what happens when there are 60,000 of them? Will it be a 3 month wait for the part then? Polaris needs to address the customer service or they will find that people don't want to buy the products. Word gets out, good or bad.
I just received a phone call from the dealership and was told that after a discussion with the factory and part manager the wiring harness will be pulled from the line and shipping expedited out today. It should arrive at the dealer tomorrow or Thursday.
I’m hoping that’s really going to happen and I might get it back by the weekend.
My only problem is this is a final attempt to fix a problem that they can’t find.
It will be great if it works but if not I’m going to ask Polaris for a new Sling. -
Well, back to the original problem. I was told today that the wiring harness is on backorder from Polaris. This is after being told last week that the harness has shipped and should be in by wednesday or thursday of last week. so, who is lying, the dealer, Polaris, or both?
According to the dealer, I was told this morning that the back ordered part will be from 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. To me that's BULL SHIT. why does Polaris do this kinda thing to its customers. I took the factory tour a month ago and I didn't see any shortage of parts being used to manufacture new units. Granted mine isn't a new unit but why cant they pull a single wiring harness out and ship it to repair a down unit?Rant Over for now, I'm pissed

Happy Birthday @lrobbi, Make it a GREAT day!
-
Do they have a plan?
@KayTwo
They are closed Mondays and I have no idea if the parts are in or not. The mechanic that is going to work on it has been on vacation and is suppose to be back tomorrow. Ill keep my fingers crossed that it will be done this week.
Even after they install the new wiring harness i'm still no so sure that it will be fixed, the last time this happened and they replaced my ECM/ECU it ran perfect for almost 2000 miles before it occured again. -
Update, no parts no sling!!!!!

@EjFord, So glad to hear Georgia is doing better, She will remain in our daily prayers.

I would love to let everyone know what a truly awesome gift that was delivered by the UPS driver today. After having lost one of my best friends for the last 15 years and feeling very lonely without him. I received this today. @jorgebri60, even though you didn’t put a name on it, or a note inside the box, only the location it was sent from and another forum member helping me determine who sent it, did I find out who it was. You sir are my new best friend!
Thank you so very much and may God bless you every day of your life.
I couldn’t even read it all to my wife who was on the phone without breaking down and crying like a baby. It touched my heart ❤️ like you will never know.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you -
No EJ I did not get a poster. Seems there is some BU11SH1T going on with the poster.
@av8ingtom I’ll be more than happy to share with you sence I got 2 of them. Maybe one was supposed to be sent to you!
Pm me your address and I’ll get it to you. -
Awesome job on that great looking ride.
But are you REALLY ever done? -
