Display MoreThanks to all who replied. Thanks to a wonderful member of this forum, I now have a pair of bubbles to try in the Summer.
I'm really impressed and grateful for all the help offered.
Best Regards,
Steve
Steve might want to keep your current shield for riding in cooler weather. Lots of the Guys change them out for weather condition.
You want to meet up at the shop ahead of time and do some before and afters with your Slingshot?
I'll be in Maggie Valley in the afternoon on Monday. I thinking of just doing the new 'tune' --- as you are probably aware my Slingshot about as naked as one can get. By the time I make it to Maggie the Slingshot will have close to 85,000 miles.
Sounds like the social gala of the year! I'm in on the extravaganza!
Frank looking forward to seeing and riding with you in Maggie and since we are both at the Four Seasons it will work well. Bill and Angie's home is very close.
Still trying to decide where I like this camera mounted the best. Base of the fin is the best mount spot but I don't like shooting through the tinted windshield. Just did a run with it on the windshield centered. Then on the drivers side where it angles back. Totally out of the way unless you want to look at the fender. Have to watch the videos I think the stock windshield vibrates to much.
Don dose your windshield have a center brace?
May just have to invite some of the 'local LEO's' In 2016 I meet one of the guys and let him drive my Slingshot. Needed 'brownie' points.....
And I already have the address in my atlas.... Pick a day. I'll be in on Monday afternoon.
Display MoreI'm just glad I wasn't mentioned...
No offense to anyone who has, but the 4 seat, and dear God this 6 seat monstrosity, are just Bad in my opinion...
4 wheels, sure thing...
Anything more than 2 seats on a slingshot... Not even if FREE.
Your 'Family' ride to the Drive Inn movies....
Long overdue probably, but we are offering naturally aspirated tunes now for the 2015-2019 Polaris Slingshots. Nice bump in power and better drivability for sure all for $350. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions we can answer

Dave if we let you know ahead of time can you make that happen at Maggie Valley.
The guys have been telling me to do it for a long time.
Luckily the windshield caught the bolt that fell off a flatbed as it was directly in line with my beautiful wife’s eyes. So thankful that the windshield caught it but has anyone ever fixed, repaired, or patched up a slightly tinted windshield? Or am I just better off leaving it alone and will most likely just make things worse. These two divots in the red circle are what I’m talking about.
That is great news! We got into WallyWorld a couple of weeks ago for our first Moderna shot. They scheduled us for the second shot for April 2. Can’t wait!

Local Walmart did a super job for Georgia and I only 4 miles away.
Hummm EVERY Saturday Before a ride push her out of the garage soap down with the pressure washer, fresh water rinse, leaf blower dry, armor all, then quick detail polish. Got it down to about 35 to 40 minutes. I find it impossible not to go out with a clean ride. Road trips are a dilemma - can’t wait to go on them but after about 2-3 days I’m losing it driving around with a dirty Sling. I do like the microfiber cloth‘s and have many of them however finding ones that are absorbent seems to be a challenge
On a road trip I get up and clean the Slingshot while I'm having a second cup of
Thanks for endorsement, but these new headlights I'm experiementing with require some major redesign. I'm taking my time and hope to get some thing posted soon. My original headlight covers had broken mounting tabs on both of them and I had to order replacements so I can try to get the new headlights properly centered wit respect to the headlight covers. If I were to remove the headlight covers, repositioning the new headlights for general use would be a snap, but the headlights would then be naked!
The only Naked things we want around the Slingshot is a female
I did not indicate prices --- to many factors to consider --- but less a month for insurance (Slingshot) than the cost of lunch for 2 at the local Greek family restaurant.
Just found out my 3rd grandchild is in the oven - due mid-October. WOO HOO!!!
Are you going to be able to buy some 'blue' outfits?
BKL has done lots of research on headlights for the Slingshot for all of us. If I was making a head light change I WOULD listen to him.
Well I am not good at doing that stuff anyway as I seam to screw up more then I fix. I could see someday wanting a SC but would have to find a shop to do it. Sally has a lot of years of warranty and the extended warranty so I probably will never see a SC on her. I do thing I need after market shocks as I feel every pebble on the road. Never did like these low profile tires. My son bent a mag wheel when he had a Trubo Laser hitting a pothole and had to beat the rim with a sludge hammer to get the tire to seal. The car had custom wheels and we could afford a replacement at the time.
Don some of the guys have gone to a softer tire. A lot of it depends on how and where you ride. If for the most part you are going to riding North Florida that might be the best way to go. Your not looking to be the fastest guy on the Dragon.
I don't generally shop....I BUY. I think we all need to learn to Shop insurance. I had a minor accident with the Slingshot last summer.... No damage to the Slingshot but tore up a small Jeep that the young man had just bought. (I took the hit - insurance) but the young man was speeding and I didn't want to put him in a bad spot. Bottom line my insurance company raised my rate 54%. Called Dan the Man (independent agent) in Texas my agent for the company, he went shopping for me and came back with a better policy about 5% less than the cost before the raise from company one. About $188.00 dollars that can go in the gas take for miles of smiles.
Dan has been taking care of the Slingshot family since the early days and wrights
insurance in many states.
I have a 2016 and have added the Canadian head lights...now have 6 when running on high beam and like the distance and brightness. I live and ride a lot of country roads at night...deer a major factor and my system works well for me. Since 2015 I have put better than 99,000+ miles in the seat of the Slingshot. 'I ride'
Why do I always feel left out because I bought a 2020?
Just a ton of stuff that you can do with that 2.4 GM motor.
