I chickened out last year due to the weather. I took swim lessons over the winter and we are coming for sure now.
Pack swim suit and life vest......last year we needed, but is was still a great week. The only totally dry day was the day I headed back to Northern Indiana.
Got these babies all dialed in. I love the magnets. I epoxy one on the controller and have one on the side panel. Keep the dial right where you need it and if you bang it it doesn’t break anything .
I bend the forward wire back on itself and zip tab it together. Makes for a neat set up.
Nice
Yes I know. I bought them again. Let's see what happens. So far I've owned them longer than the last time!
Sounds like your sending them to Painter … very nice.
Can I quote you on that? I think I have some checks from an old bank from 20 years ago
I'm so old that you have to send me a 'paper bill' and I'll stop by and pay cash or send you a 'paper check'.
LOL, you should, this discussion is going to sell several kits, hope he has them in stock.
We are having an issue with paypal though, but he asked if I was ok with another method of payment. Not sure if it's an issue on my end or his, and paypal customer service won't tell me... (security protections)
sigh
Phil will probably take a 'rubber' check.
Well I'm off today so I got up early and took a ride up to Idyllwild to get breakfast at the Mile High Cafe - From Palm Desert up the mountain is about an hour ride and goes from 200 feet in elevation up to a bit over 5200 feet, it was 50 degrees when I got up there and 92 when I got back home. I figured no one would want to sit through an hour long ride video, its a bit like sitting through someones home movies, so I decided to film it as a time lapes - so here you have it, my 1 hour ride up the mountain in 3 minutes and 7 seconds.
Somebody is a pretty quick learner --- nice.
He doesn't have the time to do installs, but from what I'm told, he sends a template and all the tools needed to do this correctly. I may still pay someone else to do the cutting, will see once I get the kit in hand and see what it looks like.
I'll PM you his email.
wokka wonder if I can hit Phil up for a little commission!
Just FYI, Phil has the kits in stock, and I'm ordering one today. I'm sure his email is floating around, but if you want to order one, get with me and I'll introduce you.
I don't pass out trade secretes --- I just buy a BIG Billboard and post the info.
Georgia and I enjoyed the Rally in Kerrville, TX
Best idea yet! I told rabtech you were ok, but he tried to argue with me...
Most of us who have been around since the early days are NOT OK --- all Slingshot warped.
I prefer the easy way to change the oil myself
Some of our friends are really spoiled...… Hope the healing is going well.
A friend goes to "Jiffy Lube" pulls in the OUT door and the gang changes the oil like they would on any little Chevy car --- just facing back words... The Main reason for having the Oil Change done buy your dealer is that they post it with the warrantee
info.
Probably so Ej, but where do I purchase said buttons with instructions? I've asked if any of the kits that our vendors are selling are Phil's, and no one seems to know.
pm sent....
Oh I’m still around. My sling is undergoing some serious renovations right now.
Cameron good to hear from you. Will you be in Maggie Valley?
Yeah, that all sounds good, but he's not available. I'm researching options for now.
As much building as you've done on your Slingshot putting in the buttons with Phil's notes should be no problem.
Great grandson in his Tail of the Dragon shirt. He hasn’t ridden it YET but I thought he needed to plan ahead.
Never to young to prep them. After all, he’s 6 months old.
We all know that 'Great Grand Ma' won't spoil the little one, so you better do a good job of the spoiling him Darrell.
Yeah, I've hinted, will do that again. Doesn't help much when your internet is lousy
LOL, I've thought about trying to fashion something to attach it so I don't lose my fancy new color one.
I've seen a few that had some fish line attached.
Display MoreStarted a couple of mods tonight and didn't get to finish. I'm really not trying to hate on two vendors, but neither of them included instructions, nor had them on their website. This REALLY irks me if it's not a plug and play install. I think sometimes people get tunnel vision and are too close to the project/product and think that anyone can install stuff with a little common sense. Maybe right, but I'm not one of those people.
Granted, I'm pretty technical and know my way around a wrench or two, but the SS is a new animal and I feel like EVERY single mod you buy should have instructions (well, maybe not the gas cap).
What you see is the ZZP new hinge for the hood, the canadian light conversion from slingmods/tric-led and liteyourslingz.com LED lights.
The canadian conversion should have been straight forward, but no instructions, and yes, I know they have a nice youtube video on their site, but we've had thunderstorms this evening and my internet was down and I was on slow 3G that could barely bring up google, and I wasn't about to try to stream. Downloading a PDF on the LED lights from slingmods (not where I bought these), I was getting 4kbps, yes, 4 K!!!
That's modem speeds people, remember the old dial up stuff? and that's not the good kind of 4K we have these days with tvs, but the old and slow shit. a 20 meg PDF took about 10 minutes to download (wasn't a steady 4k, kept fluctuating).
So, it's late, I'm still in the shop, wrapping things up, but with the rain, I can't put the sling back where she sleeps and it's staying put and sleeping with the dogs, just hope they don't try to get in it...
wokka ain't happy tonight...
Gas caps need to come with a reminder "do NOT loose" --- I now keep a spare on in the storage box.... been there twice.
HIs money making job is one that puts good grocery's on the table....sometimes you just gotta work.
mniron is a great guy and really knows what he's doing,.. I could never cut into my sling!
I know my memory is NOT very good, but if I remember anything I do believe you were one of the early one to slice yours into little parts.....
