I hope it's an affordable top...
Oh wait, it's OEM Polaris... $5000 top. 🤡
Sad but true....I am nervous about what the Brembo brakes option is going to cost.I like what I am seeing with the 2022 Sling,hood scoop,Brembo brakes,possibly more power with the Prostar 2000 revealed a couple weeks ago in a side by side.But I am afraid the 2022 Sling with all these options will put the price near if not over $40,000.
okay, is it just me or does it look like the frame of that top in the video attaches where the roll hoops would attach? - - I dont see the conventional roll hoops at all and it looks like the tubes of the frame go down where the hoops would be as if rollover protection is incorporated into the top frame.
am I seeing things? - - - or is it just the hoops are the s type hoops?
a screen shot
Your onto something there Edward Neal After looking at the video in slow mo,the next shot in the video is the women on the driver side zipping up a new storage thing where the normal roll bar hoops would be.In that same shot of her zipping up this storage thing you can see clearly that there is no old hoops there and the canvas top frame looks to be attached where the old hoops would be.Lot of cross members in the frame in that shot as well.....Interesting!
Looks like you will have to option to order a canvas top from the factory in 2022....
I've found out so far that the 2022 base model color is Ghost Grey.
Interesting! That would look good on the S model, since they do solid colors on the S's with no accent color like they did with the SLR in 2018 with Lime Squeeze.Thanks for the info....
Funny thing is for 30k plus on the SLR+ models Brembo brakes should have come included since freaking day one. Instead, we were stuck with shitty braking for 5 years straight.
Agreed!!
Brembo Brakes Baby!! WoooHooo!! This should take care of the soft brake problem....
This is photo of the 2022 Slingshot that is scheduled to be unveiled on December 7th.Love the hood scoop and the air ducts beside the middle light.Rumor has it,it will have more power.Not sure if the new tune for the power needed more of a ram air effect or not...Pretty cool looking if you ask me.
My apologies Bobby.......
I got you mixed up with SC Slinger.......
My apologies to you as well SC Slinger
(Sorry for the confusion fellas.....I say we make SC Slinger an Honorary Member)
I like the way you think ConnMan .No worries on the mix up.
Registered,room booked,ready to ride!!
You guys forget I’m in Maggie Valley now - lemme know a date and time and I’m in!! Speaking of moonshine - gotta factory .5 miles from my house 😂😂 - I’ll bring some !!
Bill Martin when I come your way riding I will look you up.Would love to ride with a LEGEND!
SC Slinger I have mentioned a "day trip" to Joan... leave here, to Cherokee, parkway to visitors center just before gatlinburg, cut across to Townsend, to Maryville, down 129 to deals gap, 28 to walhalla/home. Whatcha think? 😁
Lowpt2001 that's a good loop with a lot of great roads.With the time changing,not sure you could do it all in the daylight hours.Our next free Saturday to ride is October 23rd.We are thinking about just doing the BRP like we normally do this time of year.Of course take some fun curvy roads up to it and off of it back home.Nothing exciting,just a cruise to see the fall colors that you can do with daylight savings time.I do like your loop though,if y'all do decide to run it,let me know and I will see IF my plans have changed.
I don't know how I missed seeing this before now. This is Moonshiner 28, right? How much of it did you ride? It is fairly local to me, dalton202, SC Slinger and a few others.
I know Don will chime in...But it looks like the top half of Moonshiners 28.Deals Gap to Franklin N.C..( Lowpt2001 the section we did during the Maggie Valley Rally) Not the bottom half from Franklin N.C. to Walhalla S.C. .Either way,that's my favorite road to run.
Display MoreI desperately need to take this time to apologize to all my slingshot brothers and sisters for not communicating. It has been a crazy year filled with the most work I have ever seen in my lifetime. I have communicated with allot of you via text and voice but have neglected this forum waaaaay too long, and for that I apologize. My Slingshot brothers and sisters deserve better. I've said it many times the ride in the Slingshot is great but it doesn't even come close to the experience and the LIFELONG friendships that come from this forum. I got to see some of you this past weekend and it made me realize why I work so hard. Enough of the sappy, now for the happy.
Mayhem in the Mountains 4 will be a week long event. That's right. I'm taking two weekends and a week off. September 26 through October 1 2022. Come early leave late.
Now there are a few that have never been to my house that are a must come in order to make this happen.
wokka Boomer rabtech Dave@DDMWorks Angie@DDMWorks
Please join me in leaning on these five to get them here in 2022
There will be rides every single day Monday through Saturday. (Too many rides to cram into two days)
I will post the event thread 90 days prior on this forum. Anybody that wants to go ahead and book a room is welcome to do so.
Allot of people have been staying at the Days Inn at 1014 Old Airport Road Bristol Va.
Once again I apologize to my Slingshot family for not being on here.
Thanks for understanding. Tim.
Added this event to my calendar.Thanks in advance for the planning and info..
Any chance this is on the front or back of the Bristol race?
Bristol night race is Sept.16th - 19th of 2022.
The pic says it all
Yes it does....
We took out this morning for an early ride. Was supposed to get up around 90, and with the humidity here in Indiana, we planned to be back early afternoon. Well, the humidity wasn't all that bad, it did get hot though. We ended up riding over 300 miles. We rode about 75 miles of mostly 1 1/2 lane wide back roads, many with canopy of trees that met from one side to the other. We rode one of my favorite roads, one that I've not been on for a couple years (IN 62, Chief Whitehead Trail). The road was mostly redone in the past year, so great condition overall. Basically I rode from home in Lynn, In, to Madison, In (think Regatta speed boat races over the 4th of July) and back in a very roundabout way. Didn't take a single pic, but had a great ride and a great time with just me and my wife of nearly 43 years.
OK, pic so y'all don't feel shorted. This is of our 10 day, nearly 4,000 mile trip to SD, WY, and Montana about a month ago. 7 Slingshots were there, several members from this forum were with us. I had the top on for the trip, but shows our Slingshot well from the front ( 35k, Supercharged, still doing flawless bjk81 ). Oh, and that's my close friend's wife (Also a close friend) that was very excited about the buffalo! ( Detective6811 )
Love the hood cut out like that.Wish I was brave / talented enough to do mine.Good looking Sling!
Had hope to go but had to cancel due to some 'med' problems... Nest year.
Sorry to hear this.Hope all goes well with your health going forward.See ya there next year, IF this turns into a annual event.
One week to go.....So how many of you are going? Me and another Slinger from upstate S.C. are going for the whole week next week to explore and ride the awesome roads that Kentucky/Virginia and West Virginia have to offer.Forecast looks about perfect for next week and weekend in that area,should be a great event.Hope to see some of ya there.....
Different switches Shane. The brake failure light is usually caused by the switches in the master cylinder. Those are the ones that I changed. The magnetic switch being changed to a mechanical one is the brake pedal switch. This one causes a traction control light. Both faults can be reset by restarting the sling and neither of them will stop you from riding, unless there is a true fault not related to the switches. Either way both are fairly easy fixes that give you peace of mind.
I almost forgot, I NEVER drive spirited!!!!! LOL!!!
Gotcha...Makes since since you had to bleed the brakes afterwords.Magnetic switch will be next it seems,a lot going bad here lately.Never drive "spirited"....You going to
SC Slinger that too! Seriously, getting on brakes really hard like that instance is precisely what I'm referring to. Maybe have Dalton try locking it up a few times...just to see? I have switches on order (from performance 🙄🤦♂️) I am debating on whether or not to have them changed now.
I am pretty sure he went with the mechanical ones over the junk stock magnetic ones.So hopefully no more issues for him.If I was you,if you have the mechanical ones coming,change them out.Also,when Dalton changed his out,he took his Sling to Cherokee cycles in Greer to bleed the brakes,he said it made a world of difference...So much so,it stops like a car now.
