  • LED Headlights

    I have enjoyed mine for about two months and 6 LED's at night light the road. Now as you saw the Upgrated LED Kit require repining, I show the details of the job. My install is for the 2017 with the Canadian Headlight assembly. I am the only one that shows that type install.


    For the Friction Mount for the LED's, at first, I would have liked a bayonet type connection. I expressed my view to them. They indicated they have many many installs and no problem. I have not had a problem and now am ok with it. So you have your facts, the rest is in your ball park. Thanks for asking your questions.

  • Oil change

    I am posting my DIY New Oil Change Procedure here. It allows you to perform everything from above the Slingshot. It shows up displaying the thumbnail with the link.

    One! you have a better back than I do, never have been able to pull the plug from the top and I have tried, just because you said you could. Two! I never change the oil on a cold engine. That stuff is hot down there.

    I do the oil change with engine hot, use the extension with universal and 15mm socket, so I do not touch the oil plug for the drain process. Now you do need a universal that stick to a position and does not droop with weight of socket. If this is an issue with your universal, a rubber band wrapped around the universal joint will keep in in position to place over the Oil Plug. Now when I go to install the oil plug back in, the engine is cooler and no problem. @FunCycle get your extension set up with universal joint and go try it for a dry run to see if you can get the socket on the Oil Plug. I think you will find a long enough extension will keep you back out of the equation for discomfort. Try it when you can just for the fun of it. Give us a full report.

    Hate to hear that @samowens44. We enjoyed meeting you and your wife and having breakfast last year at the Pancake house. I was looking forward to eating there every morning that they were open while in the area. Our ride should be warmer and we are hoping it's a dry week as we have no plans to trailer down at this point.

    We enjoyed sharing time with you also and enjoying a great breakfast. Trailer sounds like the best options for the distance and rain possibilities along the way.

  • The New Front Fenders from @Stickerdick

    @StickerDick is a genius among our Slingshot Family. He can give you power and looks. Let's all encourage him to reach higher for his levels of incompetence. To make this sound right, there was a book that states we all have a point as we progress with our skills where we reach the ultimate level. Incompetence. Stickerdick has yet to even come close to that point. Let's bet on when he reaches it!!!!

  • Optima Battery Tray installation on Snazzy

    Twist Dynamics sent me the 2017 Optima Battery Tray for me to do an Installation Video. It is different than the 2015 & 2016 model Slingshot. I did not get the Optima Battery to show it's installation, they are two separate products. Besides, my power requirement needs are OK for the stock battery. When I am parked, I do not use accessories such as Halo Lights, Music Amps and a host of other huge power drains. My video will show you how to gain access to the Battery compartment and remove the stock battery and tray. Then install the Optima Battery Tray and close up compartment. You need to select an Optima Battery with dimensions that will fit the tray. Video shows a model number that will work. Some folks may want to see what is involved with a product installation before they start. That is my job to show you. You may find looking over my shoulder will give you the confidence to say"I think I can do that". Show time!
