    Here are pics of the Wink mirror mounts on my Twist top. Having that mirror is perhaps the most useful of the many mods I have done. A couple of angle brackets bent to match the pipe angles and two worm gear hose clamps. A couple of wraps of black electrical tape around the pipe to prevent the clamps from scuffing the powder coat would be good.

    What length mirror did you use?

    For those who have installed the alpha header what is the install like. Do you have to remove the side panel and muffler or can you just replace the header if your not changing the stock muffler yet? Hope my stock muffler blows up so I have no choice but to tell the wife I have to 'fix it'. Mine came yesterday and the wife is already complaining about my kitchen decorating choices.

    Might have been me, I know I asked the same question on the skid plate on 3 different threads if it would cause a heat problem when the the radiator shroud first came out and never got a response. The quietness led me to believe it was a problem and it turned out to be correct.

    That's my concern and the reason I won't be installing one. It obviously cuts down on the airflow to the radiator by what looks to be 1/3 of the grills surface area.

    Florida doesn't offer cheaper tolls to motorcycles other then the same usage discount applied to all vehicles. I have been using my sunpass sticker for the past few weeks and it has been working. For what its worth I didn't stick it to the windshield, I left the backing tape on it and slid it under the cockpit side of the madstad on top of the dash. Either that or some register with sunpass and use 'pay by plate'.

    Good question. They had a LEO on the scene ( paid Orange County Deputies as security)
    that responded immediately but could not gain control of the situation. What is the answer?

    I dropped a note in a different thread to say hi ... noticed that more people seem to use these regional boards to drop a hello shout out to the rest, so, here I am! :)


    Lutz (Hillsborough County) FL newbie checking in. I've seen a few other Slings on the roads in my area ... but, haven't had a chance to catch up with anyone in person.

    Welcome, this is the best forum for all things sling. There are quite a few sling Brothers over in your neck of he woods, more then by me but we manage to meet up in the middle somewhere for some fun. If your on FB join the Central Florida group as we plan most of our group rides on there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CFSLINGERS/

    Look what was waiting for me when I got home. I have to say it looks and fits nice. The rubber gasket is a different shape than stock but I think it will work just fine as it covers the entire opening.
