Took the Sling for a long ride with the new full setup: CAI (already had), Side Exhaust (already had, but new) and the header.
What a sweet sound! Pedal to the metal and got a nice voicetrous crisp roar with a nice little rap at the end of each exhaust pulse and a nice pleasant rumble at cruise.
As far as non Turbo's go, this looks sweet!
So did they have any further thoughts as to why that hitch broke? Is the armature on the right side too thin or narrow? Or did I simply get the one and only dud of the batch? I am really glad to see you got a new hitch too. I was concerned about this.
To be perfectly honest, I am concerned now and am considering simply selling off my trailer and investing into the saddle bag add-on over the rear tire. Seems a better option than running into a repeat of this issue when I go to New York in August.
Not really, some hypothesis's, but more curious about what type of trailer you were pulling, tongue weight etc. Also wondering if the bolts on the rear shock mount where the hitch bolts to were tight enough, if loose, this could have caused that area to fatigue and break.
I wouldn't be surprised that they will be addressing this in the current design and have me do some heavy duty testing again.
Looking good!
At Alpha today for some TLC. Adding the Alpha header to my CAI, warranty replacement on my side exhaust and replace the hitch that I gave to @MBMedic that had a issue on his way home.
Was 90+ last friday when I was going to do it, but too damn hot, 
today is much better at 78 deg. Can't wait to try it with the header! 
I've found that after washing my +3 tinted, I buff it out with some Plexus polish and the next time I wash it the bug mash almost rinses off.
Ok! Gotten comments about my Avatar (all good!), but curious what I really look like. I warned you!
Me and the better half at SSITR 2015
I was supposed to be there yesterday to get a couple things done, but damn, was too hot, figured it could wait for a cooler day. Would have been nice to meet. Nice numbers, always good to see the results and have numbers to back up the mods and expense.
Definitely keep pushing! The Black Hills are gorgeous, not to be missed. The drive from Minnesota across most of South Dakota to get their not so much.
Is it leaking on the side at the sensors? The first time I had issues with the brake failure light it turned out one of the sensors was very loose. Able to remove it by hand.
That's about where it's leaking, mechanic looked at it, said it needs replacing...
Stay cool. 95 degrees across Southern MN today with 100+ heat index. It will be a warm one.
Yea, the high humidity doesn't help either. You would think we were on the Gulf coast.
Actually I probably should have specified that my leaks are on the master cylinder. Haven't spotted any issues on the calipers yet.
That really sucks,get better!
SJ, you might want to make sure what your extended policy says. Most 3 year extended warranties are just that - a three year warranty which is just one year after the factory warranty expires. A marketing ploy to sell more policies. Just make sure you bought a full three year policy that starts at the end of the factory 2 year coverage.
It does, no surprises here. I normally don't buy these but it seemed like the thing to do on this one.
I got the 3 year extended when I bought it for $600. Seemed reasonable depending on what expensive part failed, like the right angle drive maybe, or the 3 times already the rear axle bearings have failed would pay for itself easily. So with factory and extended, I'm covered for 5. I do know that there are parts where they may not cover due to mods or at least put up a fight about it. Anyway for just over $200/yr, I figured it was cheap insurance to keep Murphy at bay.
I kept looking at the video where Troy was backing it out of the garage trying to figure out what was different?
Watched the damn thing about 4 times until it finally hit me! No center lights, that Canadian thing 'A'!
Great pics of your son with the monster ride!
Check to see if you have power at the end of the factory harness where it plugs into the HIDs. If you do, I'm thinking they reversed how the plugs join. I know that a least one of the popular HID kit warned you to not go by how the plugs would normally connect because the HID harness wires could be reversed. I had that this issue after the recall and the dealer said they never touched the wires, which proved to be a lie after I finally remembered the wire were reversed. Hope this helps.
The recall harness is after the fusebox, when powered up, the fusebox relay feeds power to the fused portion, the bypass kit replaces the fuse in the the fusebox with a inline fuse and a switch whereby you can 'break' the circuit preventing the lights to come on. Since I put a regular fuse in, that negates the bypass harness entirely and since the lights came on, the wiring on the harness plugging into the HID's was correct and I also verified it.
Now for the good news! 
Fricking spade connectors and electrical crap. You mess with them, move them around and flakey things start to happen. I disconnected all the connectors on the bypass harness and crimped the female connectors down further with a pliers and reconnected everything, walaa! It works again! Which connector was flakey, hell I don't know. I just wanted them working again until I get the time to redo the bypass thing by subverting the grounds on the feed relays. I'm not impressed with the rinkydink way the bypass harness plugs into the fuse holder, so doing the relays instead will take care of that.
Thanks everyone for the help, just letting me vent and bounce it off others helps me troubleshoot sometimes and work the problem.
I pulled the wires into the fusebox and replaced with the 20 amp fuse from the new circuit and they work. So wiring has to be correct and the lights do work.
30 amp fuse in the bypass harness is good. All it is, is a loop to the switch and back to cut the circuit if I understand it correctly.
Ok, so I have a new problem. It's related to having the headlight wire harness recall done.
So now the outside lights stay on until I get creative with the relay bypass fix, but I have no center lights at all.
I have the Bypass switch mod and doesn't matter what I do with the switch, no lights! Need help to figure out where the issue might be.
The recall shouldn't have messed with that part of it as I understand it. The recall just reassigns the outside lights to the new circuit/relay.
Oh, I have HID's installed and they worked when I dropped it off.
So my turn at having the brake seals fail has come about. Sling is still driveable, but had it looked at today and the dealer has to get approval from Polaris first, then they can order the parts, then I can go back and have it repaired. What the Hell Polaris! You don't think a leaking brake system is important enough and easy enough to diagnose that it requires approval first? I expected it to fail at some point, but it just floors me at the ineptitude of Polaris on a known problem of multiple slings having this happen to, that they still require approval first! Wouldn't surprise me if they came back and said to mix in some Loctite! 
Henry lent us his sling to go bombing around for a few hours. Went for a burger at the drive in which is in Taylors Falls great burgers and home made root beer yummy. The greenery and scenery is awesome. The exhaust sound on that sling is awesome has the side exit exhaust and a header. got a video will post.
Got to see your Sling tonight when I stopped in to see Henry. Apparently had just missed you. Great to hear you made it up to my hometown of Taylor's Falls where I grew up! Yea the Drive-In has great food and root beer especially Root Beer floats!
