Thank you everyone! Can't believe the response I got. Between the stem cell xplant and the meds I am just too susceptible to the sun. My oncologist said no to a slinger roof cu z I could still get so much sun in from the side. Blue Cross has paid almost a million on me so far, guess I better do what the doc says. So the slinger is sold, he's picking it up this morning. We bought a Miata MX-5. Starting in 2019 they boosted the hp from 150 to 181, quite a jump. Some forums say "finally a fast Miata....". So the 19's and 20's hold their value so well that we went to Phoenix and put a lot down on a 21 and used the Mazda .9% financing for the rest. I will not insult anyone by saying the Miata is as fun as a slinger. Nothing is as fun as a slinger. But if you can't have a bike or trike, I think the MX-5 is about as close as you can get.

I have researched this a little, but no one has asked quite this question. I don't like roofs- my ss replaced a bike. I like the occasional bug on my forehead and to be able to see 'everywhere'. However, I survived cancer and am now surviving 2 years of maintenance chemo. My oncologist says no bikes, or trikes, or convertible cars (no sun). So it's sell our beloved ss or buy a roof. We live in a small town, so I have never seen an ss with a roof, just pics. Question 1: any opinions on what roof is the 'least noticeable', or looks the most like it's 'factory'. Question 2: I have a stock windshield with Baker wings on the sides and top. Would you recommend a taller windshield with a roof? (We have a 2015.)

I appreciate the quick responses. I'm not sure I even have my cat any longer. I do know that the exhaust made a huge difference. We are in AZ, and my wife's feet melted in the summer before we got rid of the cat. And I'm a big guy (320 lbs with a paunch, but I was a 300 lb linebacker so I can't lose too much). Fully loaded with wife and gear I'm over the supposed cargo capacity. I'm not worried about that, but there was a huge difference with the header/exhaust. Off the line, and pulling hills in a higher gear than I could before (we live at a mile above sea level). I don't think I can give that up.....

I searched for this problem but could not find it. I have a 2015 with a 1320 header & muffler (no cat), stock windshield, and baker wings. Yesterday I installed Baker windshield deflectors (on the top of the windshield, after we both got bees in the face). I loved the quiet, less air, etc. BUT, we both immediately noticed a lot of exhaust in the cockpit, at any speed. Anyone else have this problem and hopefully a cure? I really don't want a rear exhaust, no matter how careful I am there are some driveway and parking lot curbs it's almost impossible not to scrape a little.
