What is the trick to removing the muffler heat shield? I am trying to install a 1320 muffler, I have watched numerous videos, and they all show it just sliding out. I have fought it and can see no way to remove it. The inner fender is all unbolted and I just cant see how it makes it through. Not sure the muffler will either. I can see where the issue is, in the videos they pull the inner fender back to the tire. Mine will not go near that far.

I have all the bolts out and its like something is holding it at the very bottom, but I cannot see anything.

my new 23 SL, Manual, with tech and stage 1 performance upgrade. Just need the snow to stop now.

i have contacted him twice. One thing I wont do, even in a very limited market, is beg. I have have the money, I agreed to the price, its up to them after that

Thats one reason I would rather deal face to face its just easier.

Never heard anything back on the last deal I was working, figure after 5 days they must have found a local buyer. Too bad, it had most of the mods I wanted already.

The search continues.

I will let you all know what transpires with this. Im waiting on them now, im sure they were closed today (Sunday).

Im sure I will hear from them in a day or so. Logistics can be a real pain sometimes.

For the most part I am looking to stay about a days drive away. Otherwise it will have to ship. I just contacted a dealer in FL that funinthesun hooked me up with. He is currently looking into the shipping for me. Hope we can make it all work out.

Im in Reno NV.

Whylee, may I ask why you're set on an R?

Typically me, I was always of that nature also.

You might consider getting a good deal on a SL and R'ing yourself.

To my understanding the major difference is the tune to the ecu, a 305 on the back, factory CIA and some embroidery on the seats and some badges?

I'm sure someone else could go into more detail.

But then again, I understand working as much as you are, fun time is somewhat limited and you may want to just grab and go and minimize downtime upgrading.

I noticed there's that blue SL on reno Craigslist, but I'm not to sure about that guy it's been up for a while, and he never responded to an email when I was looking.

Have you driven one yet? That's the thee most sound advice I recieved from these guys that were chiseling on tablets when I joined. Get to know the one you get before going wild with upgrades. And I tried I really tried, originally I was just going to do brakes, shocks and headlights. Needless to say that went out the door fairly quick.

There are a few what I considered reasonably priced R's (25k) on cycletrader spread throughout the midwest if you're going the shipping route. And then again my brother is in Vegas, you find one there, I'm sure he'd be happy to drive it up to Reno for you. Lol

It does not have to be a R. I started my search when I managed to stash enough cash for a S model. Since then I have been stashing more away and moving up in models as I got the cash. I have never driven any slingshots myself. About the only thing that im pretty set on is I want a manual shift.

seems like a good price from what I have seen, just not the model I want.

I have the cash to buy one, just cant find one in my area. Went by my local Polaris dealer today, they said if I ordered now, maybe Aug/Sept time frame.

I would not mind finding a nice used one. But my heart is set on the new front styling.

It looks like they dont have any at the moment. Due to work and family, im limited in travel time.

So its either a 1 day trip or I will have to ship at the moment.

My work obligations have me working 7 days a week for the past year. Its a good thing because I stashed enough to buy a Slingshot, but now that its time to buy and the availability issue, it may not work out this year, for now im still searching.

I live in Stead myself.

Thank You for the help.

sure, that would be great. I want a R OR SLR manual. I like all the colors, but that midnight fade is my favorite.

Hello from Reno NV. Hope to be a owner soon. Have only found 2 in SO. CAL. But they want $42,000 OTD for a base R manual .

Needless to say im still looking.
