I don’t recall having any real problems in the rain, but I try to avoid riding in it. They have been on my SS seats since May 2016 so I guess that says I am happy with the sheepskin. They certainly are a whole lot cheaper than new seats!! Many folks use them on motorcycles.

Update. Changed the insert material.

Sheepskin works great for us. Always had them on our Harley seats, so put them in the SS. Great on both cold and hot rides.

Mine is registered in New Brunswick (Canada). No mc mvi there. I live in Nova Scotia - the only place (I believe I am accurate on this) in the US and Canada where a SS cannot be registered!!

How about something by Stebro or Ansa. They make great looking exhaust resonators. At least they used to when I was into sports car stuff years ago!!

I suggest going to a dealer of used motorcycle parts. Having said that, I don’t know if a mc muffler will allow enough exhaust air flow for our SS engines.

It is sunny, warm and lobstery here at our cottage in Nova Scotia!!

Great idea! I will give it a try.,

I have the Polaris trailering cover and am very happy with its fit and function. It has successfully protected my Slingshot for two return NS - Fl trips and a few local trips.

I sprayed the VHT black on my Welter duals (only the exposed areas, not underneath) over a year ago and it still looks good. Powdercoating, while it looks fine, is often a very expensive alternative to paint (properly applied). There just is no need to use powdercoat (unless you have lots of disposible $$!!).

In race car setup (and I recognize there are other influences - shock settings, spring rates, tire grip, front end geometry, track (panhard rod) bar size and setting, etc) the rear sway bar generally affects understeer while the front sway bar affects oversteer. Yes, that is the simple answer. I’m not sure about how to do a rear bar on our SSs, or how to limit understeer. However in my SS experiences to date, understeer has not been an issue. And above all, it has been many years since I set up race cars so I may have gotten some stuff wrong here - oldziemers!!

Another vent. Homemade. They seem to reduce fender flap somewhat.

Come here and get your fill of clams!! Not strips - whole ones. I will give you a tour. In either a RZR or SS!!

Out playing. Stopped for Nova Scotia fried clams for lunch!!! Mmmmmm.

Retirement is so great! We summer in Nova Scotia and winter in Florida. Wonderful places for each of those seasons. The SS is trailered to Fl in Nov, and back to NS in May. We are not wealthy. But have a pretty good life. In my opinion, enter retirement debt free. Pay cash for stuff. But others will have different (and equally correct) opinions on both issues.

Our Slingshot are basically throwaway cheap plastic toys. Ones many of us can and do modify. My philosophy on my toys is every penny spent on them is never to be seen again, including the purchase price. So have fun. Don’t worry about resale value of a toy. Cause there ain’t much to be had!!!

I have seen some SS’s with coloured roll hoops, and liked all of them. So I took mine off, prepped them, and treated them to a couple of coats of good ol Rustoleum! With a few layers on semi gloss clear on top. Another successful rattle can project! No need to powdercoat when paint with clear coat works fine. At 1/10 (or less) of the powdercoat prices.

Thanks all. As @Bigdog says, the grill may be unique to Polaris and thus unavailable from firms other than Polaris. I will find something similar and that will do.

I found stuff on eBay and Amazon that would be ok, but before I buy I thought I would ask if anybody has a source for the exact pattern in our grills.
