Not sure of your age or how much to give up 2 wheeler riding..But I am 73 and do miss those canyon riding days out west

and feeling those corners turn after turn..

I have two 3 wheelers Turbo slingshot and Vanderhall Carmel..Both are fun but the turbo Slingshot is by far a blast to drive

similar to high performance sport bike ..But you can not put the power down like a sport bike with no rear wheel traction.

But going into corners is a blast but again not like a sport bike can..

But I did not want to stop riding canyon , but in my 60's with passenger riding it was becoming a task to really enjoy

pushing the corners as the only way I rode 2 wheelers safely with aging..

Enjoy what you can do for as long as you can and when you need to change your riding style you will know it

Selling Vanderhall with the Blue/black paint it has and sitting in garage I tried F11,Torque and could not get that flowing gloss look.

And my buffer with cord is pain and started looking at battery buffers..Having everything Dewalt 20 volts and they do not make a

orbital 20 volt..Looked on amazon and here a few showed up were you can use your Dewalt 20 volt batteries.

So I have ever chemical but never used Finish Kare Poly Wipe Sealant conditioner.

So the new buffer with soft black pad and the Finish Kare OMG this Vanderhall has not from day one look so nice.

And when the guy showed up to purchase I could see in his eyes that he was impressed , for the day before I

was out in it and he saw it before buffing...

Now I am trying Jimbo's protection ,F11 and Torque on different parts of our cars..

I really think they are all pretty much the same and think in our minds OMG look at this..LOL

I feel this way about the spray detailers with smell in them and just perfume in water ..

Have fun with all the Chemicals and spending money as we do chasing that perfect look..

Reminds me of my old JZR and TriKing UK ..They were fun but I would say how small they were compared to Newer Production Units

that you could not drive them as far and comfortable ..But they did put smile on my face during ownership..

The 'fumes' from exhaust depend on lots of different factors.

I wonder at times if it is the pipe that comes off turbo and drops in front of passenger foot compartment could cause this issue..I was thinking of making a hole in

exhaust and welding bung to connect it there ??

I have F4 +5 and have had this size since new of 2015..

I had to replace for all my fiberglas work and I destroyed it designing new body.

But really gives you good protection..

Only downfall is with turbo I get some fumes when deaccelerating nd doing to stop..

Mine arrived late fall a 2021 Carmel with 2 inch toe in and was not until following spring that I took first 100 mile ride up interstate

that I realized this issue when I came home friend walking by said your tires are destroyed..

I called dealership and was told approx 3 weeks before they could get to it..

I have a lift and so raised it and measured and sure found the 2 inch toe in..

So figured how hard can it be and took it on..

Well started adjustment and something was not allowing me to get adjustment needed..

The inner tie rod to rack/pinion has a nut that is torqued to hold the tie rod on and this nut was

not tighten and under the boot the tie rod had unthreaded and fallen out..OMG,,

Had I not removed boot to see this the tie rod could have been in their a few threads and under

high speed conditions ripped out and who knows result of that accident..

I called dealer and told them to call Vanderhall for this could be a really big law suite if this

is something being over looked at assembly..

But sort of blew me off like not a big issue..

Posted to warn others that you need to remove boot to check this issue if you are

going to do alignment..

But lack of caring was what I got from this..

That track is awesome?

What scale is that?

I bought my Grandsons a Carrera Go set for Christmas. They love it!!

I hand built a 1/32 scale track ..a lot is made from Alumium foil design I come up with to make big areas

Quote from ConnMan

Sorry to hear that brother.

I hope you can find some relief soon!

I called surgeon and have appointment Monday and I could have enough time for recovery to have decent Spring / summer..

Even working on slot car mountains having issues ..so it is time for I want to do more fiberglassing to sling this year also..

Quote from ConnMan

I guess it's wicked loud HJ.

They do it near the end of the event.

I'm gone by then.

I may stick around for it this year.

I ride with foam ear plugs, because the wind wreaks havoc with the Tinnitus that I have.

I'm sure I'll be wearing them when these boys crank the tunes!!

You should hook up with MADDMOE and ride with him to the event!

My wife is a volunteer for NAFA - the National Alliance of Filipino Americans and last night they had a 60's 70's themed party to raise money for a medical outreach trip to go help people who cant afford medical help in the Philippines. Anyway this is a quick snap of my daughter and her daughters from last night from left to right, my granddaughters Zoey & Angelina, my daughter Renee and on the far right my granddaughter Liviah - - I am a very blessed man

Very Nice Family There... Enjoy Your time together.......60's & 70's I remember those days Honda SL350 and Honda 750's and at end of 70's a Honda CBX..Memories

this stuff is cool and back in the day would have been fun but after having newer handling vehicles I could not see myself riding this old stuff and enjoying it..

Quote from Funinthesun

Wow very cool I might give up Slingshot for that.. who builds this ???

With my body change and hood design that could add some issues that have to give some thought to..

And with doors I probably get less fresh air in then stock design..

Quote from FunCycle

If I understood this problem from years ago. It was not so much at a stop it was slowing down to a stop and was more noticeable.

That is more correct and when down shifting at slower speed when I get the most inside..

Quote from FunCycle

This subject goes right along with the tall wind screen thread. The taller the wind screen the more back draft you will have. You have to have a way to dump air into the cockpit to cure this problem and not from the back.completely. Terry has tried everything but still is still running the tall windscreen. The wind wings do help at speed but not while running slow in traffic.

thank you...has he tried side exhaust to see if that cures issue ???

I know this topic has been voiced but seeing what cures this issue the easiest ???

So I have Exhaust in cockpit when stopping the most...

If I could get this straightened out the sling would be my best ride.

I know I get headaches after hour or so .

So I have alpha turbo and welter dual exhaust but it no longer is dual and exits very low behind near rear wheel..

I also have the F4 plus 5 windshield...

I guess I wonder if the turbo exit exhaust could cause any of this ???

Anyone having these issues with fumes with close to my setup ???

the only other thing I have been thinking about is putting side exhaust to see if that fixes fume issue..

I have F4 Plus 5 with Tint and I am 6' and it works for me with my custom windshield frame with side air vents built into it.

I did this to add a roof I am making hopefully next summer to attach to frame with flange ..
