Yes, yes it does. I found a local locksmith that had a Kawasaki blank with plastic head they cut for like $7. I will never carry that oar around again.
Your hack job looks great.

If you tried "3 15 2 FUN" they would have rejected.
3IS2FUN would be a valid vanity plate according to CA DMV.
-
@rabtech maybe this should be moved to the DIY section?
-
California will reject any plate where they assume a number represents a letter. Good luck on the vanity plate battle. I hate CA and always hate them telling me what I can't have in the way of my plate.

Following. Safe travels.

welcome!!
If you have not already be sure to join Norcal slingshot riders on Facebook.I have joined and ride with the group often... So long as family doesn't get in the way. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm telling you right now......they work just the normal tug and it comes right at you!
I'm sold. Will purchase this week.

Some of the rides might go your way. We have a tendency to start/meet at the Spirit Dealer in SJ and then pick up other SS riders along our routes.

Wow I can't even see the edge...do you have yours hooked up to lights?
You are right, it is so highly polished that you can't see any edges. I don't do all the bling mods to my SS. Since the windrestrictor that is mass produced didn't work with the Madstad top at first and due to having a huge gap at the bottom... I made my own. So there are no lights and no fancy laser etching.
I have been on a quest to eliminate the exhaust smell in the cab with the WP dual, F4+5 windshield and stinger top. This is a known combination that will choke you out! It is getting better. Have a few more mods planned and should be free of exhaust smell by the end of the month. I refuse to put my cat back on.

@2W2X1 thank you for your service! I think you'll like THIS forum MUCH better...
After browsing around last night, I realize I have been missing out big time. So many great posts on mods that aren't simply buy and bolt or stick on. That is what I am all about. I'd rather fabricate and have one off or less than the masses.
This forum is going to make my wallet cry again. I'm thinking worse so than the last year.

Perfect....now should I hand sand the curve for the next twenty years or try using a router?
Would it be asking too much to see the (hardware) mounting plates and bolts?
I used a router on both sides of the 3/8" cast plexiglass I used for my custom rear windscreen to work with Stinger top.
I then used the step down method to sand it to a nice smooth surface. Then I used a buffing wheel and got a glass like shine on my edges. Totally worth the effort.

This forum is going to make me spend more money than I had planned on the SS.
I hate the fender flap and never liked the buttons. Message sent for a set of the fender vents and will stand by for hood vent to match. My vented hood center is functional, but once I install fender vents, I'd prefer to match the center hood vent.
Great job @kenny_h and @gpcustoms
Edit: heard back from Zero DB this am and placed my order. Looking forward to cutting holes in my fenders!

Really can't go wrong with a good cold air intake, header and exhaust. But you will want to tune the ECM after the installs.
I'm with you, I don't do a ton of cosmetic only mods. Function is a must for me.
Best of luck, happy modding and may your wallet not cry too hard.

That sure looks like a fun little ride! Thanks for sharing.
-
I have no excuse for why it has taken so long to move over to this forum, but looking forward to being active here and helping where I can.
Purchased my base black 2016.5 Slingshot almost a year ago. Spent plenty of money and time modifying it from day one. Still naturally aspirated for the moment and next big plans are to install air ride. Love commuting in my SS a few days a week as it gets me into the carpool lane, weekend rides with the wife and large group rides that happen around here monthly.
Cheers, Joey

Welcome! Man Palm Springs gets hot, hot, hot... you may want to consider a top in the future.
Enjoy the ride and conversation this vehicle starts up.
