Thank You Yes ..I want to continue body back to exhaust and spring cut off top of fenders.. I waited for rear exhaust for 4 months and running out of time and weather.
So next spring will finish it..And will add fiberglas roof on it . The fenders over wheels are home made with fiberglas.. I had steel fenders and did not like the noise of
stones going under them. And wanted a round looking fender instead of trailer fender I was using.

I have been on Jeff every week since Maggie Valley and he promised me I would be second after him.
Paid 1995.. and purchased right from Jeff .
I LUV it and he is sending out baffles just to quiet it down a tad.
Glad I had a lift to install it on .. the biggest thing was getting the transmission mount out.
Other than that was a breeze.
I know Jeff is heading to Fl for SS Rally there.
Hope you get one soon and enjoy exhaust noise where it should be in the rear.

I will take pics tomorrow if it stops raining..Just painted grill on SSR yesterday before rain..

I am sorry I am not a tech person do not even have a cell phone.. But I have toys..
Just purchased a 2003 SSR Yellow with 1,500 miles real beauty

I have waited since Maggie Valley Rally for it and it arrived yesterday and it is on and I am very pleased with ease of going together.
Will say I am glad I had a lift to install it..But really nice to hear exhaust in rear and not from front.
I do need to put baffles in for just a little to loud for my vehicle.
But turbo and rear exhaust on SS gets no better..

Thanks Jeff

I pressure wash with electric washer and do it few times during summer and the minute I am done washing I get leaf blower out
and blow dry and then put non whiting wax on and wipe moisture and everything clean.
With all the fiberglassing I have been doing it sure gets a lot of dust and particles under there.

Did you talk to owner of this... Did he say what cruise speed would be on this Warrick??
What camera did you use for pictures.what size pix??
thanks joe for sharing

It is called a Warrick . Very interesting .. There were so many 3 wheelers back in those years being built .

I called dealer and I told him 2016 Dark titanium metallic paint.. I ask where color code is and could not get answer.
Found paper with number B,49ST,T.Metal with serial number of SS , anyone know what those numbers are ??
Any one know where to find paint code ??

And when using paint from Polaris I see something about activator and do I need to order reducer or thinner for stock paint ??

Any one bought the Carbon fiber Mirrors and what do you think of them for quality ???
And how are they to drive with ?

I have SS seats and really like the looks of my seats and agree that they bottom out and I weight 185 lbs and wife
really liked the stock seats for comfort over SS.
In winter I am thinking of trying to put car seat springs in to help do any with the bottom out feeling on seat bottoms.
And since I ordered all cloth in summer hot sunny days not any problem sitting in them like the stock hot rubber seats .. They were Hot !

I found that if I used longer bolt than supplied to pull seat pan to frame on one hole it allowed you to put the shorter
bolt supplied in with no problem.

.

Saw on other site that person with Alpha turbo and Henry checking bolt torques found 2 center bolts loose on head.
So may be worth checking head bolts for proper torquing which are 22 ft lbs 10 bolts and 26ft lbs 4 front bolts.
Just maybe worth a look to be safe.

I just installed Alpha Carbon Wing on yesterday and was not sure I was going to like it.. but I do now that it is on.
Really adds a dimension to rear of SS and waiting for Dual Rear Exhaust for Alpha turbo next to install.

I do not care about MPG, Enjoy the toy and stop with the little things that you can not change.
If you want good mileage keep it in garage after next fillup..LOL

And yes higher insurance cost for autocycle I am sure here in New Jersey!
But now wife can drive SS with just auto license.
I do not know but with open cockpit it sound like you have to wear helmet with new ruling ???

I am running Alpha Rotors Drilled/slotted and ceramic pads and not the expensive set. I am very pleased and more confident
than ever in the braking of my SS and running all the runs at maggie valley the whole week and coming home on interstate driving
did not feel fading that I had with stock rotors and brake pads.
Also bleeding the whole system I am sure added some help .
After 2500 miles on this setup with braking I am just now thinking of bleeding to take up a little brake pedal fall off I feel.
I wanted big brakes but like most did not want to spend 2 to 4 K and I am so happy with Alpha Rotors and Ceramic Pads.

It looks like end of July for WP Rear Exhaust for Alpha Turbo and should have PRP Seats close to that date.

When I get seats I may either get water proof covers made or go to auto store or jeep shop and just buy
cheaper covers for rain use.
I am sure I can spray something to help but suede and cloth will never repel water .
You either cover or do not drive in rain.
I know I was told by someone who had suede it took a long time to get dry for days and the foam
stayed wet longer because of suede holding water .
But sure is comfortable in warmer and cold climate conditions.
But when wet YUK!

I ordered my PRP SS seats with suede and cloth for that reason but will pay the price if and when they get wet
and trying to dry them and foam will rot and smell sooner .
So price to pay no matter what direction you take.
But I sat in Suede seats in Lotus and they were so comfortable and your butt did not slide and felt so good.
So taking chance on keeping them dry and being comfortable..

Thank You ..That is what mine looks like.. A friend stopped over and just looked down and said you have belt aliment problem.
So never looking at it and being anal and everything centered in my eyes.. Wrong again.... thank you
