  • Alpha Turbo

    Hi @Jeff Welter I haven't seen anything on when your Dual system for adaptation to the Alpha Turbo might be available. I had hoped that I could get Cycle Springs to install one for me in Eureka Springs, but Im seeing that its a 2-4 week lead time for the DDM and Hahn systems and so far, as best as I can tell, not yet available for the Alpha. So I jus wanted to holler atcha to see if you had any decent idea when I need to start Drooling. I absolutely fell in love with the sound the dual system produces when we were in Maggie Valley. Consider me a customer in waiting for sure !


    thanks

  • When did you repalce the OE tires

    Quote from KayTwo

    I don't know if I would have called it a "squall"...it's more of a bellow....but either way, it's impressive as hell, and a little unnerving when you're on the ground with them, inside a hundred yards or so. LOL

    OK Ok ok... Ya got me ! I've never even seen a Moose except on the Animal channel. Living in Oklahoma we don't even have em in Zoo's.
    But ! I dated a gal once that when given two bags of Spanish peanuts, wrapped in a moving in the back of a 79 chevy van and parked at the end of a dirt road on a Hot summer night... Would make sounds that could only be described as Beastly ! I was only 19 years old and it scared the hell outa me, but I didn't run. At that time I thought it sounded like a Moose in heat. She kinda looked like one hence the association.
    Ahh... The Good ole days.

  • When did you repalce the OE tires

    @Speedr117
    No sir I've never run a 555 before. I did a lot of reading and from what I gathered, based on reviews, was that traction was considered identical between the 555 and the G2. The improvement comes in Wet traction.
    On a side note; Nitto makes a G2 to fit the stock rear SL wheel. They do Not produce a G2 to fit the stock SL front wheels. For the fronts you would have to go with the 555 "Extreme".
    Since I plan to someday replace the wheels I chose to get the rear replaced for the MV trip and give myself more time to find what I realy want, otherwise I'd have done extremes front with the G2 rear.
    Hope that helps

  • When did you repalce the OE tires

    I had my rear tire replaced nearly two weeks ago with the Nitto 555 G2.
    At 8400mi the front kendas still look real good and since my traction issues are at the rear I chose to get some more life out of them.
    It's rained a lot since instal so I don't realy have any miles on the rear yet but... That sumbitch will squall like a moose in heat. I can't yet say the traction is better ( over stock ) because it's not scuffed in.
    What I should add is that I'm turboed and that rolling on the throttle in 2nd will still blow the tire off it. Haven't tried 3rd yet. The Kenda would spin up with a roll on in third.

  • My baby has new shoes

    Ya stirred some emotions here... Ok my Nipples got hard.
    Need some particulars bubba. Are they stock sizes, proper offsets, ect.
    I'm hoping to find sumpthin that'll give me a wider rear wheel & tire that looks That good.
    Thanks.

  • Slingshot commercial

    If you watch F1 racing you'd have seen it 2-3 weeks straight now. Last weekend was also being shown with the Indy race. And boy do they run it frequently !! Kool commercial for shore.

  • New member meet and greet

    Now that explains a lot ! Maybe that's why Mama's always hangin her leg off the side of the ride.
    Still workin on why she's got the front of her shirt pulled up over her head. Think my drivin skeeeer's her? Sun in her eyes ?? Dunno.
