  • What are these?

    Quote from xd675x

    Those are vents. Polaris offers a windshield (tall) that has those vents in it. The vents don't actually "vent" air in to cool you off - they are there to equalize the pressure behind the windshield to match the pressure in front of the windshield. This helps the wind deflect farther over the cockpit and prevents the curling effect. In a way it pulls the warm air from lower in the cockpit to up over your head (so it helps move the air a little, but not like you think).

    I must disagree with you about this new Polaris windscreen since I'm an owner of it and the vents do work as I believe were designed.

    Maybe because I have the Slingshade top but I do get cool air inside the cockpit when it is Hot outside and it does prevent cold air from entering when closed and the extra height keeps that cold air away from my face as well as reduces the amount of rain coming into the cockpit and striking my face, and I have been using this for well over a year now! Also, I have had no issues with fog on this windscreen at any time and I have over 18k miles with this windscreen in just over a year now.

  • ....Need some assistance with a 2023 sound system install..... (Anyone using the UAS steering wheel wire Harness)

    Quote from MADDMOE

    .....does it have the electrical schematic, if so you would have to search for the plug with those wires, reading the schematic can be a job in itself......I'll be giving UAS a call this afternoon to try and remedy this, it's only one wire that's stopping this part of the job

    Yes, the manual has numerous schematic wiring diagrams for 2020 and 2021 models??

  • .....Searching for a part........

    Quote from MADDMOE

    ...looking to see if anyone might have this part , looking to depart with it......it's the leftside outside panel #26 ,for a 2021 Slingshot R (orange with blue decal )....for some reason I don't see the color for this piece on the parts list....

    I believe that if you place an order for the part you need at the dealership, they will have a screen come up on their computer and it will or should ask for the color code to be entered for the parts that are colored???

  • Phone won’t connect to RideCommand

    Quote from GlennB

    I had an iPhone 12 last summer, and never had any issues connecting to the head unit in my 2019 SLR. I now have a Samsung S22U, and it doesn’t want to pair with my RideCommand. I put both in pairing mode, but the phone does not see the Sling, nor does the Sling see the phone. Tried rebooting the phone, nothing. Any ideas? My phone connects fine to the Android Auto head unit in my car, as well as other Bluetooth devices. The phone connected to my PedalCommander, but the Slingshot doesn’t show up on the list of available devices.

    May try disconnecting the pedal command and see what happens??

    Make sure other phone has been deleted from the ride command?

    Ride command does Not like too many devices connected???

  • Deadwood 3Wheeler Rally 2023

    Quote from GA Slinger

    Well folks, after owning the Sling for four years, health issues have dictated that it was time to move on. Sold it last week for a decent price. The good news part of this was that I got to replace it with a 2022 C8 Corvette! I don't want to grow up! Next problem will be deciding which toy to get out of the garage. the Shelby GT350 has been a blast for the last two years. I have greatly enjoyed all of the three wheeled folks that I have met. E.J. and the Maggie Valley crowd. Batcycle and the north Georgia bunch. We spent a little over a week traveling together out to South Dakota and I feel like I have known you for years. I will check in every so often just to see what ya'll are up to. Great bunch of folks!

    Thanks and safe riding!

    Glad we got to ride when and where we did, and the Joy was all mine in sharing the Rides we completed!!

    Congratulations on your New Ride and Always be safe and Enjoy Every Day we are Blessed with!!!

    Trusting a Polaris dealership without a Second opinion was the beginning of the problems and there are a Few good and reliable dealerships around but even they can be Overwhelmed by some problems or issues???
