Is this still happening? No more information since March makes me wonder.

Anymore information on the event itself? List of vendors etc? Will there be a cost associated with attending?

I installed the Polaris rear fender that they have on their website on clearance. Normally $7xx, on clearance for $238.
I also installed the Gen 2 plug and play headlight conversion kit from slingmods. Pretty straight forward install. I like the look. -

I finished installing my new fenders that I got from Three’s Da Life and installed the Bilstein coil over shocks that were on clearance. About do a road test.

So I bought these and just got done installing them. Anybody got any suggestions for setting them? They come pre set to “5”. I’m a heavier guy (265) and I don’t quite understand the correlation between rider weight and dial settings and preload.

Thanks so far for all the input. I have been looking at used but everything I have ran across is very close to the price of this one new. Only thing I’m really concerned with is at some point putting on a top to help with the South Mississippi sun.
I’m in MS and yes, you want a top. The sun is brutal at times. I resisted getting one, but realized that I was using the heat as an excuse not to ride. Working a long day in the heat and then sitting in the Slingshot for a 45 minute commute was becoming more difficult.
I got my top and can tell that it will help a lot.
Other than that, we have a long riding season and that makes an SS even more fun.
I have been caught out in the rain, depending on the road you are on, it can get quite interesting. I don’t recommend it.
Be ready for questions at every stop. Kids love the Slingshot, lots of adults do too. -
I laughed!

Check with your local airport.

Be careful with that. Avgas is expensive, contains lead, and more importantly has no road tax added to it. You and/or your local airport can get in big trouble. I used to work at my local airport (KMEI) and we would sell it to you in an approved container but not allow you to add it to a motor vehicle of any kind. If you wanted to do that, you had to go off site.

I got an email from Polaris concerning yet another electrical system recall. It is about 10A circuit breakers that don’t meet functional specifications and may cause the engine to stop running. It only affects Slingshots manufactured between Feb 12 - July 31, 2019.
Just an FYI. I’m waiting on the letter before calling the dealer.

Thanks for the information!

I found a set of SL wheels and want to replace the stock wheels on my 2019 base SS.
I saw some instructions on the Polaris accessories site and it indicates that the mount (Clevis) needs to be replaced with the part that comes with the wheel kit.
Anybody know anything about this? Seems like it would clear.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I took it apart and pulled (VERY gently) as much wire through the adapter as would come. I connected the wires, but reversed the connection just in case. I also bent the terminals in a little. When I bolted everything back together it worked perfectly. I road tested it and all seems fine now.
It’s just a hair off to the right but I think I will live with it for a while.
Thanks again. -

Hi all. I got a new Assault steering wheel and installed it today. I started it up and everything seemed fine. As soon as I drove away, the horn started blowing. Any idea on why this would be?
The clock spring did rotate about 1/4 turn as I was installing the adapter. I but it back where it was. Could I have damaged that?
-
Good luck and many thanks Sam!
Your videos helped push me into going ahead and purchasing my own Slingshot.

i've thought putting a small heater core in my SS
but it seems simpler and cheaper to wear heated clothes. I have everything from a simple heated vest, to a snowmobile outfit.
this'll be the 1st winter with my SS, but I used to commute in 20* weather on my BMW R1100RT enginecycle. if the roads were dry, I was riding.
I see what you did there!

I thought it was a good article. I couldn’t find anything really to complain about.

Display MoreI don't own a 2019 or have immediate access to that unit.
The 2019 maintenance manual and the OEM parts illustrations still show that screw boss.
Is your 2019 purchase new or used?
Looked at your pics and it may be a trick of the paint glint, but there appears to be a cone shape with a round dimple. It appears to be either a putty filled and painted area. Or been ground down and painted.
Here's your pic back with the area I see...
Maybe someone with a 2019 can clarify.
Not knowing the model, that swingarm appears to be custom painted.
I’ll have to look tomorrow, but I think it’s the light.
Mine is a 2019 purchased new back in April. Completely stock swing arm. There are two or three circles in that area that appear to be left over from the casting process.

I was just looking at e rear fenders on slingmods.com and with all of the Metricks fenders that use the mounting hole on top they only list them as fitting 2015 through 2018 - taking this in to account and then seeng your picture it looks like the swing arm was changed for 2019 and does not have the necessary mounting boss
You might want to call slingmods or better yet Metricks and ask them before you think about drilling the swing arm
Yeah, I think I might just have to eat the money I spent. It wasn’t a lot.
Maybe I’ll figure out something.
