Had to make room in the Bat Cave today for my other ride... 😉

No, he's right and I stand corrected. Unlike Funinthesun who proudly displayed a pic of his green Sling, I was very negligent in not including a pic of me standing proudly with my red one... lol 😉
It won't happen again... lol

Just turned 10K this past week and had the service done yesterday. The service manager said my '19 SLR is as new and clean as the day I bought it, including the tires and brakes, and he could tell that I take exceptional care of it.
That made me feel good... 🙂

Heading to Tucson this morning for a 10K mile service... Yay! 😆

Just curious what you have tucked away behind each of the seats? Are those seat cushions?

This time without all the dark matter...

Sorry, guys. I uploaded those photos from today to the cloud and then downloaded them to my computer, then cropped them as much as I could, just short of my Sling being the only thing left in the photo, which in and of itself, would have been enough for a great photo, but... lol

As a side thought - why isn't the Bisbee Breakfast Club in Bisbee?
Good question... lol
Thanks for the help. I'll play around with it some more later and see if I can get the photos to upload.

Got out of the house today and drove to Lowell, Arizona for a magnificent lunch at the Bisbee Breakfast Club.
I tried to upload cell phone photos to this post, but the files are too big. What did I forget to do?

Just when I believe I'm old enough to have seen it all, something turns up that makes me ask, would I have thought of that? ...lol 🤣

Just saw a post on FB by a gal excitedly posting how she just ordered a 2022 R with all kinds of extras for "only" $49,800.00
Sounds to me like someone really took advantage of that woman.

I was wondering if anyone would notice
Oh, I immediately noticed it! Coincidentally, I've wanted to do the same thing. Like you, I really like the clean, sporty look, and I have debated removing them for some time, however, there's two reasons why I haven't... yet. First, having seen hundreds of Slings at SSITS, all of which with fenders still intact, either stock or custom, I thought there must be a really good reason why more folks don't remove them. Next, I'm worried that either the right or left tire would pick up a stone and hurl it into the cockpit while cruising around a bend in the road. Has that ever happened to you? Of course, I wear a helmet and high-impact glasses, but just the same, I'd be worried about stones coming in at high speed.

Weather man said sun today...
You misunderstood him, he said today is "Sun day" 😉

I've had the same problem when filling up at Costco and, like Edward Neal said, it doesn't require an air tight seal, just a little rearward pressure on the mechanism to bypass it, but the first time I encountered it, it was a bit of a PITA...
-
Found them! drfubar posted the photos I was looking for of his Michelin Pilot Sport all-season 4s and those are the one's I'd like to try next. I figure those tires, married up with a set of JRI Grand Touring shocks will give me the ride comfort I'm looking for.

Thanks to everyone for the input. I'm still running stock Kendas with only 10,000 miles on them and they're in great shape, however, when comes the time for replacements, I want to take it up a notch and have a little more profile between me and the road all the way around. There's a fella on here that posted a photo of three magnificent looking tires that I want. I believe they were Michelin tires, but I'm still searching through the gallery trying to find that photo. All I remember was the tires were sitting in his garage and his cap was sitting on top of one of them... lol So, anyway, if this only drops the speedo by about three mph, I probably won't bother with recalibration. I was just curious how difficult, or expensive, it would be and if anyone had ever done it.
-
I understand going larger on replacement tires will throw the speedometer off a little, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever had theirs recalibrated? Can you do it yourself? I didn't find anything in the thread search and I'm by no means an expert on it.

My Sling is insured by Foremost for about $56 a month.
