I looked the $159 price is raw metal, add powder coating price is $199.
Please pardon my saying so, and without knowing anything more about these new products, that this is much better then the nearly $400 for the other that are currently available which I believe are plastic?

[QUOTE="chavey2, post: 900657, member: 4412"]Slingmods sells these Truhart Shocks. I asked them about them and they said they would be just about the same as stock set up - a little harsh. He recommended the JRIs instead (which just so happen to be on sale!!!).[/QUOTE]
I thought I would try a direct cut-N-paste! 
Bill
For whatever it is worth, with the back-up camera recall, I am understanding that a different mount is required for the new camera, so there is apparently more than one?
Bill
Well, Dave, there once was a time in which I would not have hesitated a second in just doing this myself, but today when I see all of that plastic in tight quarters, well, Murphy seems to be hiding behind every corner any more where I would just rather let somebody else do the job where they are responsible for what they accidentally break. Besides, we still need to get the recalls done also....................
Thanks bunches Dave,
Bill
I am just sharing that there was a post over on the "other" Forum introducing this vendor: https://zaratesteelworks.com/s…ngshot-accessories&page=1
As far as the fillers it would depend on how they are installed, overall these appear to be pretty fair prices?
Bill
Do you know how to check the codes you are getting on the dash?
Since maybe I seem to not fully comprehend your question maybe I don't? The code is 0 65551 5, which according to my chart means an open circuit in the knock sensor system, is there something more?
I just wish that I could simply clear this code and then see if it occurs again, indicating that maybe it is just a one time glitch? The way it is, since we have to spend four hours just getting it to the shop just to clear the CEL, we might as well just change out the knock sensor to be on the safe side.
Bill
I just spent the last couple of hours going over the SlingShot with the Shine Armor, starting with the wheels. Afterwards the wheels definitely look very nice, but I must admit that they have been neglected where I prolly spent more time today working on them then I have for the entire past four years, (did I mention that I hate cleaning the wheels?) With that said, if the wheels remain easier to keep clean now with the Shine Armor, then I will be well satisfied with our purchase.
In the beginning all I was going to do was the wheels but then I looked at the rest of the Grasshopper and figured, what the hell, let's give it a through try! I then commenced on the black plastic, but I really did not get too far because it was becoming quite obvious that the Shine/Armor was not leaving the rich looking finish of the Pledge/Favor. I started over and did all the black plastic with the Favor.
I then moved on to the painted surface of the hood, doing the driver's side half first so to compare. OK, here I have no choice but to give Shine Armor the nod. On that metallic surface the Pledge/Favor made it shine, but it was a dulled shine, (does that make sense?) Comparing that now to the Shine Armor, the Shine Armor was most definitely leaving a more brilliant and lustrous deep shine. So, I commenced finishing off all the red with the Shine/Armor!
Now we have to wait until next week to get it all dirty again when we take the Grasshopper up to the shop to get the knock sensor and recalls done!
Bill
There is a 8 pin connector located underneath the dash, behind the steering wheel area.
Thanks, it was right where you said.
Another question, is this plug unique to the SlingShot, or do possibly other Polaris vehicles use the same plug and coding? In other words, I am trying not to have to travel 200 miles just to clear a CEL.
Bill
The post did start out with the expected complaint from Bigdog, (this time paint peeling!)
But then he acknowledged that the manufacturer has addressed his complaint by replacing the part,( which is good, right?)
maybe we need to be giving Bigdog a break for attempting to give phrase to the manufacturer?
Well, I think he was giving phrase, wasn't he?
Or was he really just complaining again?
Bill
By the way, hey Bigdog, look at how that black shines using the lemon Pledge and/or Favor! 
Bill
Thanks FunCycle, all the other info I read about knock sensors was that when it failed the engine would automatically go into "limp" mode. It's good to know that the SlingShot doesn't go "limp!" 
I was just going back through the post of this thread where:
QuoteThat 1 before 65551 5 indicates it has happened 1 time.
Our code is a 0 65551 5 ?
Bill
A curiosity where I have a CEL with code 65551, (knock sensor), but the SlingShot seems to be running just fine. Can a one time event trigger the CEL but the engine returns to operating normally?
Bill
I really like the 2015 style better than the 2016 in looks.
I keep kicking myself for not purchasing a "spare" set back when they were being sold so cheaply. I believe I recall somebody selling the brand new wheels, tires, as well as the double bubble windshield, as a set for around $500, including shipping?
Bill
Yes there is but is not inexpensive... Last I checked the price was $370ish

Is that just a scanner?

Display MoreHighway dirt not 4 wheeling....
Does anyone remember “static” straps?
I think the dirt might be attracted to the rear wheel because of static electricity caused by the drive belt......I’m thinking about hanging one off the swing arm to see if it helps.....
SHUT UP BILL! 
OK!
Bill
I'll be applying the purple stuff over the weekend, though, since getting the CEL for the knock sensor, the first good test will have to wait for the eight hours plus next Friday going and returning from the dealer.....................
Bill
For whom it may Concern:
I have heard that Can-Am is having a good sale, especially on the Ryker and Spyder, and I hear they have a great forum also...............................
Bill
I really like the 2015 style better than the 2016 in looks.
Yup, we too! Considering we purchased our SlingShot in early 2015 and have been around these forums since where for whatever reason this is the very first time we have heard about the wheels having problems, I just do not think we are going to dwell on it much!
