  • Warranty Voids?

    Quote from franklewtie

    Does anybody know if adding aftermarket lights will void factory warranty? For example, I want to add a brake light modulator and eventually upgrade to LED headlights.


    I ask because a buddy of mine bought a bunch of aftermarket lighting for his Spyder and brought it to the Can Am dealer for installation and they told him that it would void his warranty. I was just wondering if Polaris was the same....:?:

    Might a good idea to check with the dealer. My experience with warrantee's regardless of the company is talk to the delear first and have them do the install if they give the OK. That being said anything above standard maintenance I will take to the delear. "Authorized delear/repair facility" carries some weight. I would also recommend that if doing any standard maintenance to save the receipts for things like oil & filters and document in the maintenance schedule.


    Bigger question might be what's it worth to you?

    That is way too cool! I can see the shift on the column, High/low beam push button on the floor, Does it have a push button radio! Had a Mercury Lincoln with a 8 ft hood or so it seemed.

    Don't think so... Couple of the local farm boys had new convertibles. Our wagon was Robin egg blue four door.


    I love those older cars. Step on the gas, a pause the engine would take a big gulp of air, then Wa-Wah pull like a tractor. My dad had a 1970 Ford Country Squire station wagon complete with fake wood panel decal down the side. Yea, yours was much cooler!

    Honda spray wax and cleaner.....Been using it since the 70's..

    It also go under the name ; Original Bike Spirits spray cleaner and wax /Polish..This way the Harley dealers can sell it to their kool-aid crowd without insulting their insecure customers..

    I have owned/rode all types of bikes from most manufactures (more than I care to list) to include four Hondas. VFR 750 interceptor, two Nighthawks & a 750 Magma. All great bikes, loved them. Have owned Harleys too. Loved them. If only I had more money, I'd buy them all. Never made any choice according to a dealer or any other influence,


    If I had a garage filled with a Lexus, Corvette, and a 57 Chevy I would chose each at different times. My most chosen ride would be the 57 Chevy, not the smoothest, fastest or most comfortable but a whole lot of fun! They all are.

    Not that I can see where this is easily doable, but.......My favor is, like I'd done with my Harley's, kind of a Nostalgic 50's look.

    I can stare at the Sling for Hours and can't see where I'm going to be able to bring that look out.

    Hello Strut61,


    Beautiful bike, I grew up in your area (Now in south Jersey). Thought I knew that covered bridge in your picture. In fact I just got back from a visit to Selinsgrove today! Bought my first Harley from Vreeland's. Not sure if they are still there? Its been many years since I went to that shop. Love the nostalgic look also. I had a beautiful Softail Deluxe that I set up with beach bars, nostalgic grips, spring seat Etc. but life trended me to the slingshot. I love it! I plan on attending the Slingshots in the Poconos this summer.


    Enjoy the ride! Lots of nice, helpful people in this community. EJ (above is just one of them).
