Still running a stock clutch in a 2015 Slingshot that was supercharged in 2016 and then upgraded with 95mm pulley in 2017 and other add-ons to complement the added HP.
I beat the piss out of this SS and have never had a slip or anything. It's been to Bill Scott Raceway (Summit Point) multiple times and track heat has no noticeable effect on it. The stock clutch is pretty stout even in the 400HP range when used properly or there isn't an unforseen mechanical failure.
I'll only replace the clutch when it begins to slip or I pull the engine for a rebuild.
WraithSS Mine slipped in third while going towards redline. It's not a question of if but when right now.
Just looking for information from anyone that has replaced the clutch in their Sling. Looking at DDM works performance clutch (2 options street or track disc or ZZP's performance track clutch set-up. Any information or advice greatly welcomed. My Sling is supercharged that is why I need to replace the clutch. Some of the questions have to do with street versus track friction disk and how much if any difference in clutch pedal pressure/feel.
I have an angle drive off of a 2015 if you are interested. I'm in northern Indiana.
How much did it change your depth?
Let's try these for now.
What you failed to mention is that we had just returned from lunch where SlingRider did a full 360 in the road on the way out. I thought you were just running interference.
I also didn't mention that I was going to do a couple there but the road wasn't clear after SlingRider got turned around. I did leave a couple of burnouts on the way out of the Barber museum,
Had a county sheriff follow back to the Polaris factory after lunch, couldn't figure out what I had done. He wanted to ask about the quad conversion.
DKF Texas is in the house! This was at dinner last night.
For those who don't recognize the faces, we have from left to right, Byron, JoeB , Bill, DKF Texas /Danna, Mrs and Mr Bu11sh1t / Diana & Harvey, Diane & Donnie/ scootertrash , Jim/ Painter , Ryan (Painter's son), and Jim Campf/ SlingRider .
We're off to the largest motorcycle museum in the world this morning.

I worked at a Dodge dealership in the late 90's. No way is that anything Prowler. What was the engine in it?
harleyujoe Ok What is that one? Don't think I have ever seen one of those.
Been there --- done that.
Got a spare from a Ranger in the storage cubby now for the same reason.
No can do this year. Surgery on May 25th.
Quite simple, remove the 4 torx for the plastic covers and remove. Then just remove the 4 bolts down below for the hoops and pull them out. That is per hoop.
Mine is requesting invoices to make sure I'm not lying about the extra coverage I want to get. Most of my stuff I have done the work myself so I'm out that no matter what, plus trying to find invoices from 3 years ago when I started buying stuff.
I'm going to talk about the actual swap with the TrakHamr quad conversion on my Blue Squadron Sling. First of all this was ordered Early October 2020 it was received in late March/Early April. They are made in Michigan and the Governor kept shutting down "non-essential" business, no other comment on that. I didn't start the conversion until early June for family reasons. The install took me about 2 weeks working an hour or two a night, so I obviously didn't work fast or take time off of work (don't judge me).
Install was really pretty easy, my main issues were no lift and no help. After lifting the Sling and supporting on jack stands and car ramps the removal process began. The first picture is the TrakHamr kit halfway uncrated. The second is the rear with brakes and belt removed. The third is from the back after removal of all parts, I will say that putting in the new subframe is easier with the back panel loose on the side where the upper shock mount is. The hardest part was positioning the subframe with a jack and a lawnmower lift to place the original upper shock bolt back into place. The forth picture is of the removed parts and the fifth is of the kit installed before final tightening. The last picture is of Blue as it sits today. The instructions provided were quite good and any issues I encountered I called or texted Troy. I can say that Troy was a pleasure to work with and was available to answer questions as they came up. At this point i am now a little over 500 miles and have changes the rear diff fluid. If anyone has questions I will happily answer them.
I'm ready to buy some non-polarized lenses for mine as I have issues seeing the screen in mine and the rainbows on the windscreen.
ericastar76 The bigger question might be where did you store all the plastic in that tight garage?
Dave@DDMWorks What are your thoughts about a replacement clutch line made by Galfer or Goodridge?
Also one of the originals, was DUANEINDY but changed to "Lostway" when I sold my first one ( later got a 2019 ). Was tired of waiting on Indiana to approve so I went to Owens in Illinois and bought one. They said if I wanted it painted they knew this great guy in Terra Haute. Road around with my old Goldwing plates till I called my son who worked as a programmer for the state. He said the slingshot was in the BMV system but had not been activated, he changed it and told me to wait 4 hours then go to BMV. Being a social outcast and a huge pain in the ass, I am not known by many on the forum. I am referred to as the Gray Haired Wonder as I make everything look good.
Are you keeping the '19 stock? I know the first one you had was full of performance mods. I'm sorry you got rid of it but glad I ended up with it.
