If you do any riding in a state that requires a helmet it will be.

virginia does require helmets, however, i argue the nonremovable roof quote in the law books for virginia and ask cops to remove my roof and then find a place to store it to ride and they no longer argue with me or question it. i have not been stopped for riding without a helmet after.

I don't wear a helmet. so that isn't an issue for me i guess.

I'm 6'2 and use the slingshade. I am fine with it. I do lean a little at stop lights though lol.

I was some what saddened to note that we had only put 4,000 miles on it this year.

wow, and i have had mine 2 years now and am close to 3900 miles lol. i still haven't broken the 4000 mile mark. having kids and other obligations make it near impossible along with weather and work attire not able to wear appropriate clothing. i wish i could put more miles on mine.

hey quick question for the group, i thought my battery had a death grip on it so i went out and bought a new one. well the old one got jealous and has been hanging on with a kung fu grip. So i have had the new one for about 3 months now and it has never been installed and only sat on my work bench. should it be on a battery tender seeing as how it has never been installed? just wondering

How stupid can it get?

never challenge FATE my friend, you ask the question and it will be answered. the same as the question of "could it get any worse?" of course it can, want to see? FATE is a cruel cruel thing.

I hope that everyone here has a happy thanksgiving with tons to celebrate and a wonderful holiday season

Had mine done by appointment today. Dealer called a few days ago to say they had the parts and would hold them for me. today was OK weatherwise (mid 40's) and the 45 minute drive was no problem. In and out in less than an hour.

are you going to woodbridge? I need to take mine in but I have not set up the appointment yet. been too busy plus due to weather the sling has been inside the garage living the warm life lol.

here are the side shots of my 2017 with the slingshade on it. of course these were before the PRP seats.

Did you have the dealer install it or DIY?

I installed it myself.

I have not had any issues out of it at all. some have complained that the wings might warp but I haven't had any problems. I think it makes it look more like the batmobile lol and less of an off road type vehicle. personally I don't like the flat top types. but that is just me.

Well personally I own the slingshade. It was 2500 in 2017 when I put it on but I love the way it looks, I love how it does on the highway, very little wind gets in, but a lot of that is because of the windshield that I have also. they work hand in hand. I think that if you can get past the price of it, the slingshade, (to me) looks the best and gives it a sporty look.

I thought it was a shotgun, not a pistol oh well, easier to dispose of? lol

the wife and I have discussed this at length. I wanted four seats so I could take all the kids with me and drive the sling a lot more often. at least with the extra seats I can pick up all the kids at once and not have to worry about it. but I don't think that is happening so I am going to have to real in my expectations just a bit. the biggest ticket item I really want is turbo but still that is another 3 to 5K depending in which way I go there lol. wife doesn't want that either. keeps telling me I don't need it. I drive it faster than I should now lol

ha ha ha

that is the direction I was heading. if you do the four seat conversion, in order to make it a more stable ride I would think that the trakhammer quad kit would be necessary. I have not seen the four seater in operation especially cornering to see how it would handle. But that being said, if I did the one, I would have to do the other. and I really cant stomach throwing another $20K into it. That is totally unrecoverable lol.

she personally dislikes very much the four wheel conversion. but I think that if I can convince her of the four seats, then I can at least carry all of the kids at the same time. which I do school pick ups and cant use it often because picking up only one kid makes the other kids mad. at least with the four seats I can get all three kids and not upset them. think I will focus on selling that one to her lol. or turbo lmao

its the same with me. all the bills are paid to include kids college monies pulled out and the retirement set aside. but still paying another 20K is like buying a new sling. that is how my wife wants me to see it. I am basically buying a new slingshot and well she cant swallow that pill no matter what I giver her to wash it down with. so I think these may end up on the wish list and stay there. thanks for the insight,

I usually do also, but when it comes to buying something that is half the price of the original sling, that is a bit much. even for me.
