one shot enamel lettering paint is what I used on my rims. Bright red is the color. I was thinking of using it to do the lettering up front. Matches pretty good. Otherwise red apple from rustoleum is a good rattle can match.slingshotinfo.com/wcf/index.php?attachment/99062/

Nice days drive in the Slingshot....615.3 miles La Porte to Bristol....
I got you beat by a small margin, google says 698miles to Bristol from my part of the world. Third trip down this year with Maggie and Homecoming. Maybe I should just move down
. You do make good shine

Am I reading this as you can get custom text (ie different words) in the Slingshot font? If so, how many letters will fit?
Yes the light strip is 12in long. Slingshot takes about 12.5in using 1in text. I can fit more text but would have to make the text smaller.

What are these extensions? Very nice work and a great product idea. I can see a
The extensions are the raw aluminum pieces shown in the pic. They add about 14in to the sill so it ends closer to the end of the lip. Made from 1/4 aluminum figure you can continue the color or change it to add a more custom look.

So here is the scoop. Near the beginning of the year I created an illuminated sill for myself and was encouraged to sell them, you may have seen them posted on allthingsslingshot.com. In order to keep costs down I ordered 30 sets with slingshot laser cut out of them. I also powder coated several in black and pearl red. At this time I have decided to sell what I have at a very discounted price and move on to customised work for those who want it. I don't have my own shop but I have found one local to me with very reasonable prices. Allowing me to provide these at a more reasonable price.
The design is 1 layer of lexan with an led light strip. Held in place with 3m tape. Everything is topped with an aluminum piece with laser cut text. Again held in place with 3m tape. It light up really well in dim light but do to the lighting (similar to sign designs) you won't be able to see them in broad daylight.
Here is what my new price point is (all prices include shipping)
Raw aluminum kit with SLINGSHOT text and your choice led color- 120usd
Red or Black powder coated aluminum kit with SLINGSHOT text and your choice led color- 140usd
Custom text raw aluminum kit and your choice led color- 160usd
Current led colors I have is red, white, blue, amber, green. I think it would fit some rbg light strips. Red tends to light the best.
I will post more pics later on. Also working on some extensions.
If you catch me at mayhem or poconos will drop shipping cost.

looking real good for me making this event. Would have to stay sunday night anyone sticking around for a sunday afternoon ride?

Well things might be coming together I might have an opportunity to go to an internal company tech conference sept 17-18. Gonna try to work this event in.

The plan was for me to slow down in the corners so Hodge could catch up then video me taking off in the straight aways , didn't video out so well, I should have let him get a lot closer, but I tell you what that normally aspirated Sling of Hodges with welters and a tune didn't take long to catch up in the corners and then I had to work a bit to make sure he didn't get too close . And yes Hodges gps is in KMH , But I run MPH on my speedo and was able to hit 1oo a couple times in the straight aways and he wasn't too far behind me so I'm not sure how well the GPS speed on his screen keeps up with acceleration. .
Not sure I hit your speeds but to your point I had my speedometer set to metric and to be honest I couldn't tell you how fast I was going because after the 120km/hr mark you more or less have to guess what your speed is. It was a blast though

I have to say I wish they did this when I was shopping for a sling. Dealer rented a track for the evening and brought out 4 slings to let people test drive. Not only that they supplied drinks and bbq as well as extended the invite to anyone with a sling to come out and have some fun. So big Shout out to Peak PowerSports in Oakville an Barrie Ontario. Links show me chasing kev around the track. If you listen at the beginning the guy says he smells funny lol
-
If someone can also post how this reacts with a NA tune. I have heard a couple guys say the pedalmax in combo with a tune did weird and wonderful things.
-
Sounds like you have decided but just figured I would mention another benefit of your adjustable shocks of which I currently have on my sling. If you ever plan on going on some twisty roads they will make it way easier to hit them harder. Imho

newest ATV slingshot.

Getting ready... can't wait
-
Out of all the slings at Maggie this year I have to say this one caught my eye more then any other. Extremely good looking job almost makes me want to cut my hood.

I am about to cancel my reservation for a hotel room with 2 queen size beds at the double tree hilton. I guess its probably first come first serve

I know I already posted but looking at these pics I figured I could make this into a game. Whoever finds all the differences on my sling in these pics I will buy a pitcher of beer or margaritas at homecoming. I will give you the first one the side mirrors now have carbon fiber and only count as 1 difference. In total there are 11 but 1 is pretty hard to spot so if you get 10 I will honor the win.
The things we do while bored on a conference call. Half way through that list, someone spoke to me and I was like, "huh? phone cut out, can you please repeat"
Do you have different shocks?
And yes, I always share, other than my lady and my bike...
Updated shocks last year just before Maggie so they are the same.

- fog light
- lower splitter
- hood stripes / decal removal
- roll hoops painted
- hood push buttons
- zzp camera mount
- grill change
- hood vent
- Wheel color of some sort, some red on the latter one
- on the fence about headlight halo or shock changes
You did not give anyone a chance did you (insert comment about eagle eye). You missed 1 but a deal is a deal. You missed the addition of the Guinness Record attempt sticker on the windshield. No changes to headlights. See you at homecoming. BTW a gentleman always shares.
