If you notice, it is pointing straight up
Oh! You're referring to the air filter... lol

Display MoreI just cleaned my throttlebody and it was probably one of the easiest things I’ve ever done. Should you do it just make sure that you don’t over tighten any of the four bolts when reinstalling.
Also do not move the butterfly as it is controlled by gears and you don’t wanna screw that up. A toothbrush a light cloth and some carb cleaner will get the job done.
I have my K & N filter soaking and being washed right now and will reinstall later on this afternoon when it is dry. Hopefully this will be the fix.Clean!
Dirty!!
Thanks for the tip. I just added that to my list of things to do next weekend.

23 years and seven motorcycles, leading up to the Sling... 😏

Found him
He is on the Arizona slingshot Facebook group - - guy by the name of Robert Anthony Saccomango - - - Nice Slingshot
Not from my neck of the woods. He must be up north, maybe Phoenix.

That is how I see other Slings around here also. Probably hadn't seen 6 since I bought mine and one of those was EJ's covered on his trailer. Canegrinder is the only person I have shared the road with and his got totaled and we only got one short ride in. I don't know where all these go my dealer sells and he sells a lot.
Seeing the yellow one yesterday confirms my suspicion that there are three Slings in southern Arizona, mine included... 😏

Spotted a yellow/black sling yesterday in Sierra Vista, AZ. As usual, two Slings going opposite directions hardly have time to say anything as they pass each other... lol 😆

Had to put one of our beloved friends to sleep today. We discovered she was suffering from an enlarged heart and in the beginning stages of renal failure. Lizzy was 12 years old...

BlackDeath why not just use a extra layer of 3m tape where the gaps are? And in the vendor's defense the early models didn't have the convex mirrors, not sure when they changed.
I agree with BlackDeath. For the ridiculous price you pay for some things, I should not have to "mod a mod" to make it fit. I paid for perfect and if it ain't right, I send it right back.

Display MoreHello All! So I recently purchased the Convex Peel and Stick Mirrors. The drivers side convex mirror will stick on flush. On the passengers side the stock mirror is already convex and says "objects in mirror are closer than they appear" So if I put the new convex mirror up to the stock on before I peel and stick it, the back of that is flat so it does not sit on the stock mirror flush to stick it. Has anyone ever had this issue? I am going to put pictures with descriptions so we are all on the same page.
Pushing mirror to outside leaves a gap on the inside
Pushing mirror to the inside leaves a gap on the outside
If you push it in the middle there are gaps on both sides. I asked if I needed to heat the convex mirror a little to get it to bend to stick. I am being told by the manufacture this is normal, just peel and stick it. I am struggling with this because there is not enough give on its own to stick the mirror across the old one. Is it a manufacture defect and I should return it to get a replacement? I am close to just returning them because I am not happy with the response I received from the vendor. Thank you for the help in advance
Looks like they sent you some very poor quality mirrors, my friend, and of course they're going to say, oh, that's normal. If it were me, I'd send them right back.

Display MoreNew here to the SS world.
I am trying to remove the factory radio from a 2019 Slingshot GT and can not figure out how to remove the wire with the blue cap from the back of it. It looks like it has to do with the antenna, but I am stumped.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I never did figure out how to remove that stupid plug and was really hoping someone would respond to your post and provide some insight. I just left the unit in there when I installed my amps and learned to work around it.

For those that have never seen a monsoon, this is what one looks like when it's over your house! Only rained for a few minutes, but probably dumped a half inch of water on us.

Display MoreI've been seeing something odd the last few weeks.
When I'm riding over 25 mph, the left hand mirror starts vibrating rapidly, giving me queasy rear views!
Right hand mirror stays steady as a rock. Neither mirror has any problems holding position, no need to adjust 'em on any regular basis? Stock mirrors on my 2019 SLR btw, have never removed or worked on either of these mirrors.
Anybody have an idea what's causing this or how to fix it?
I would suggest loosening the arm bolt and either pulling the mirror in about a quarter inch or pushing it out, then adjusting the mirror itself to compensate. Good luck.

A great idea for quickly filling the back of the truck gone horribly wrong... 🤣

A little trip to Lowe's, bypassing Home Depot. We do not do the Home Depot anymore. (Their political views) For the people that served Lowe's gives you the DISCOUNT also. Home Depot does not! just another reason not to shop there.
That's odd, the HD here has always given a 10% discount to anyone carrying an ID; active duty or retired. I wonder why some HD stores choose not to and why corporate would allow that?

Ultimate irony right here. Oakland, CA Violence Prevention Chief & news crew undergo attempted robbery during interview right outside of city hall. You can’t make this stuff up…
Really? After having guns pointed in his face, the security guard pulls his own gun and simply orders the perps to leave? Am I missing something here? Is there some law in California that I'm unaware of that he would have been convicted of if he had sent them to their graves with two in the chest and one in the head? I guess I just don't know my gun laws very well... 🤔

Didn't take the Sling anywhere this weekend, but stumbled upon this one last night parked behind the Treasure Island Casino in Vegas. At first, I thought maybe it belonged to someone on the forum, but when I got closer, I realized it was a rental... lol 😆

Display MoreHi all. Been looking at a Slingshot for many years and just might make it happen this year. It would have to become my daily driver if I do - but fortunately only 10 miles round trip to work. My question is this: is it really viable as a daily driver? Does the automatic vs manual help? And never having driven a motorcycle or anything open air, how does it feel to drive during 100+ days (central valley CA)?
Some different questions there, but all related to consideration of a daily driver replacement (in addition to road trips of course.)
Thanks in advance!
Mark
You say it would only be driven 10 miles a day... and you call that fortunate!? 😉

Does anyone know the starting tread depth and a new 2020 R rear tire?
If you place Lincoln in there, head first, you should not be able to see his nose... 😉

Wouldn’t hurt to check your battery cable connections.
I get that, for the starting issue, but would a loose connection cause it to suddenly die on him while he's cruising down the road. I know a motorcycle usually won't run if the battery is not connected properly, but I thought the Slingshot was more like a car in that it only requires the battery to start it... 🤔
