  • Stinger top - shock replacement

    Thanks for listing all my options. I called Slingshot only and spoke with Joe R. He asked for an email request. Quickly sent an email. Awaiting their response now. My old shocks are too weathered/worn to get any part data off of. I could measure and play the amazon return game to find them but seems like a waste. Was hoping I wasn't the only one who has done down this path before. I'll be sure to share results when I find the answer.

  • Got bit

    Welcome! Best advice I have for you... Buy the color and lowest model you like. Then outfit it with aftermarket parts. All too often I am swapping out factory upgrades for aftermarket and the slightly used factory parts pile up in my garage and I can't give them away fast enough.


    Be prepared for your wallet to cry!

  • Thermal R&D Exhaust Systems - Install Reviews

    Quote from Goats_Hogs

    I was looking at the stock replacement and exit one on Slingmods. I liked the fact that it was ceramic coated, and it exited in the stock place. However, the Sling I got from Brody DDMWorks Supercharged, has the side exit Alpha, and it's going bad. I contacted Slingmods (William) and he told me that a 2 1/2" system for boosted would be available in 2020 from Thermal R&D. With the boosted, I would need to plug the hole from the side exit, and the original one (not for boosted) that they did for stock doesn't come with a CAT delete. By the time I pay for the larger size of 2 1/2", and the CAT delete, I was up to the Welter price for black Friday on SlingshotOnly. I ordered the 2 1/2" boosted system FSX with ceramic coating (and it comes off the header, no CAT delete needed) from them. I haven't gotten it yet, but should be coming soon. I'll give first impressions, and after the fact, including a follow up after the weather breaks and I've put some miles on it.

    Yeah buddy! You’re going to like that WP FSX exhaust. But them springs are fun. Sounds real good too.

  • Thermal R&D Exhaust Systems - Install Reviews

    I got to say, after installing a handful of Welter Performance systems, the Thermal R&D systems are seriously lacking in QA and quality overall. The main run of pipes are butt fitted vs slip fit. Portions of the exhaust are smaller than 2". Alignment on the touring version (Lower rear exit) is a joke. There really isn't a lot of wiggle room to adjust it since the rear section is attached via rubber hangers. Neither version was truly above frame as both installs had different places exposed under the frame. If you're in the market for a rear exhaust... my opinion, pay the premium for a better manufactured system. While you are at it, snag a 2.5" exhaust incase you decide to boost.


    Oh, and if you are not switching from a stock exhaust to this system, be sure you have enough springs (6 total) Polaris part number: 7043726 and an exhaust seal Polaris part number: 3610211

  • That's All Folks!

    Best of luck Sam! Thanks for the videos and time you spent in this hobby to help the newer owners... and dare I say it... Some of us older owners as well.

    Quote from Boomer

    He has to be lowered and some say he is vertical challenged. Not sure bout the top being lowered as well. But hey if it works don’t fix it.
    Personally I like me TD ragtop. Use the bar for ease of entry and exit.


    JUST SAYIN

    Gee thanks... When your hips and knees give out due to overuse and old age... you def need a TD top to help with entry/exit. I have another 30 years before I have to worry. :P
