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.

Display MoreWelcome Strut61.
Not an 800 dollar suggestion...
But, it's not a hugger fender.
Maybe folks sporting these could comment.
Yeah, I looked at these, Thanks. Its not "what" I'm looking for. I'd prefer a fender that wraps the wheel more on the front as to not beat up the back of the Sled.
I've seen several I like, but the price tag that goes along with them is a turn off. Also there is a Fella out there that Powder coats (to your color) a piece of either Diamond plate Aluminum or sheet steel that gets positioned directly in front of the rear wheel.....Kinda looks cool and adds some color to that area but again.....not what I'm looking for. Just picky I guess.....

One run we are making is to Ocean City MD in Sept for “Bike” week. Been attending for quite a few years, don’t plan on stopping now.
I’ve seen posts on Maggie Valley and that looks awesome!
Our “First Mod” is trading our 12’ enclosed trailer for a 8.5X20’ . Long runs with the Slingshot in the presents of Texting Car drivers just doesn’t sound like fun and one of the reasons we got rid of the bikes.
So, our un-named Slingshot will be a trailer queen for those distant get aways.

Yeah Right........Coming from the Harley world where everything is also expensive, I can only imagine. I've looked around also and like you, don't have the desire to spend $800 on a fender. If I can't find something reasonable, I'll figure it out and just make one. Having been a welder and backyard fabricator my whole life, I'm sure something will come up. :0)

New to the site and the Slingshot world...........2 was getting too crazy, so it on to three.
The Harley's/Spyder are gone and now the Slingshot occupies the stable.
Just wanted to join up to say Hi and begin reading and learning from the experience base here, we have an 18 SLR with no more miles than it took to get home from the Dealership.
So...............Let the fun begin! Some of the Mods I'd first like to pull off is a rear fender, not sure how I want to approach it as everything I see is an arm and a leg in price. From there front lighting Canadian Dual headlights and LED's (upper/lower brows). From there, who knows.
Anyway, thanks for reading my rant, I'll be ghosting around trying to cram in as must info as possible before Spring breaks here and my Honey and I are enjoying our new Toy.
