Been using F4's on motorcycles for years. Have the +9 on my Sling. Good product, good price.

I registered in Feb. 2018 and followed up at the homecoming. Never heard a thing. Give up on them.

A camera helps loading if you are driving in. I have 2 different cameras one is mounted in the trailer facing out and it connects to a iPod touch via Bluetooth. The second camera which is mostly what I use is mounted in the nose of the sling, it is basically a back up camera and if you leave the camera with the guidance lines on you can just align them with marks in the trailer and pull right in without much effort.
Just a note I still do occasionally smack the wheel wells so I carpeted them to avoid damaging the wheels
This was my solution along with a mirror at the front of the trailer so that I can see how well I am lined up.

Do you have any +9 deflection at speed either on the windshield edges or the top edge?
I currently have a +5 w/baker wings on the sides and D.S. top edge which IMO deflects excessively at highway speed so much that I'm thinking a higher center brace would help??
I've never been over 90mph but have not had any issues on the Interstates and turnpike at a steady 80.

I use an F4 +9 and it works well for me.

Thanks, I really like the style of the TD Canvas. I believe you also have the racks from slinglow? Also did you have the stock ripper windshield and was their wind buffeting with the TD Canvas & the stock ripper windshield combo?
Yes, I do have the racks from Slinglow and am very pleased with how well they have worked out. I replaced the stock windshield with the F4 +9 shortly after getting my 2018 SL in February and do not remember if there was any buffeting with that or not.

How is it at freeway speeds? Does it flap/make a bunch of noise? BTW, I'm KK4UMI .
No problem at all. Holds solid and no flapping or noise. 73's.

I have the Twist Dynamics canvas top and am glad that I do.
It does provide welcome relief on those hot sunny days in stop and go traffic.
For me it has paid for itself on a few rides where I’ve ridden 100+ miles in heavy rain. While it did not block all rain it did reduce things enough that I was far more comfortable.
As a plus it can come off in less than 5 minutes when I want to go topless.

There are several Slingshots in the Reading area but that is an hour away.

I live in SE PA and bought my SL last February. Have a top and +9 windshield. Was able to ride comfortably in the cold as long as I dressed for the weather. Added some Baker Air Wings and when open they are great when it is hot and when closed block more air when it is cold.

FWIW - Many of the LED lights will cause static on the radio, especially when on AM. If that is a problem for you then you may wish to check them out for that issue.

One driveway marker, two harness clamps, two press on caps from Lowe's and here ya go.

Could you show some close up photos of this. I'd like to duplicate it. Thanks.

I like your DIY design. I have a set of racks attached to the hoops that I put a set of bags on so I would not be able to use your design. My approach was to use a clamp. a mast and some JB Weld to fill in an oversized hole on the clamp. All I need to do yet is clean up the excess JB Weld.

I've not had any problems at all since adding these.

This may solve your problem. The dual USB ports and volt meter can be powered off the leads that go to the 12 volt socket in the glove box. It is very easy to tap into these lines and the wire run is also very easy.
