Rehab is for QUITTERS
That's why I can afford the Slingshot and the gas to take it down the road today.

How many times have you changed your angle drive fluid??
Have had it changed at the dealership a couple of times....I'm running Royal Purple, don't change as often as FunCycle, but keep thing in fairly good condition.

Border is closed and we were just put in a stay at home order for 6 weeks ugg I am tired of this shit
Sorry to hear ... Glad that we have not been closed down so tight. From a business stand point EJF Painting hasn't lost a 'brush stroke' thru all of this Shi!.... I'm planning on getting out for some riding this year.

I would not let my youngest son use a calculator to do his homework. He could use it only to check his work. When he got to high school the calculator was required in class. This was in the late 80's.
By the time they reach High School they should be able to add 6 + 7 with out taking off there shoes ... some can or could in the real OLD days.

Remember when math teachers told you to learn multiplication because "You won't always have a calculator".....
And I would NOT let the 'kids' use a calculator in math class... 6-7&8 grades...

Montrese2006 ---- I've ridden with FunCycle since Apr 2015 ... Don't have quite as many miles as Gerald does but by the time I make it to Maggie Valley for SSITS 2021 in a few weeks I will have over a 100,000 miles. Remember it's a MOTORCYCLE and enjoy the ride and the new friends you make along the way.

nneves57. Thank you. Do you have any heat wrap or anything on your exhaust towards the end near the angle drive? Im going to put some on mine when i finally get it back. Do you have your silencer in the megaphone tip?
When you are talking to someone... @ gets their attention, Montrese2006 NNEVES57 as you type the name most times as your 1/2 way typed it will come up and you can 'click' and it will finish the type. Welcome to the 'World of Slingshot Insanity'

Most info I relate to is geared 2015-2019 releases.
That .75 adjustment on a cold belt may still be tight.
Adjustments can produce different results.
Maybe not for your case, just know that some folks have run belt deflection out to 1.25". This may, in part be due to aftermarket coilovers, different compression rates; etc.
In a nut shell...
The higher the rear swingarm compresses into the body, the tighter the belt becomes.
So...
You adjust a cold belt to spec.
You then throw your ass into the Sling and maybe another ass for fun. Adding 250 or more ass pounds to the suspension. You go for a ride, belt warms up and contracts a bit. Then you accelerate, the Slingshot squats in the rear... Hello howl, where's Bell?
The adjustment is a happy medium because the swingarm moves in an arc and not circular around the power sprocket. Just want it to work in its most normal range. Polaris kept it simple rather than spend another dollar on a tensioner.
As for the camera mount...
Doesn't have to be extravagant. A simple piece of electrical conduit bent, shaped, and short as you can keep it. A bolt hole, piece of inner tube if needed to protect paint, and clearances.
That 100 mile ride might be looking better...
It is a ride but no guarantee that they get it right.
These learning experiences...
Trial by fire.
If you want more reading...
Google "slingshotinfo.com: Slingshot drive belt" without quotes.
The difference between installing a mod yourself and having someone else do the install...
Where the hell did they pull the electrical from?
Hope your fix comes soon!
Expect a derail in 5... 4... 3... 2...

NP I seen that as the easiest way. Glad you got it done. Sorry I should have explained the well nut thing better. They are often used when mounting trolling motors where there is no way to reach up under the gunnel.
I learned a little today...Thanks.

You just DON't want a sick "nut"....

Nice ride in the country today until traffic circumstances required I drive over a dead raccoon. I put it under my seat as with any road debris but it was a little too tall. Still better than slamming on the brakes and getting rear-ended. Some interesting results and lessons learned. The feel of dead raccoon hitting the undercarrage it a little unnerving. The metal cross beam acts like a knife at 65mph. It is possible for dead raccoon meat to pass through the holes where the rear seat bolts are and enter the cockpit.
Removed the seat and spent three hours picking out decomposing raccoon meat. Let's hope that bourbon can remove the smell from my sinuses. Fun times.

As a former Jr High Math Teacher I've seen this before --- Names have been changed
Mathematics Teacher Arrested at JFK
A school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, an ancient wooden device called a "slide-rule" as well as a code device called an "abacus" that he claimed was a calculator.
At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
"Al-Gebra is a problem for us," the Attorney General said. "Al-Gebra has terrorized many young people for years. They derive solutions by means and extremes and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values".
"They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns,' but we've determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country."
As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle.'"
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Biden said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes."
White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by a President. ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC proclaimed Biden solved a problem created by Trump.
