KayTwo, this is going to be more than a wrench day. New shocks, stabilizer, stage two turbo upgrade, oil filter relo, new gauge pack (oil temp/pressure, water temp and boost with manual boost controller). He got beat by a crotch rocket. So now he will either beat the guy or there will be rods all over western North Carolina!

Understand you and Heather are heading up to Murphy on Saturday. Terri and I will meet you at Dogs. We should be there around 0900 - 0930. Depending on the schedule, we can devote 90 minutes to finishing your wiring.

add Dogs, he will ride

I found on my sling that the tension bolt is too tight at 40 ft lbs. I reduced torque on that bolt to 10 ft lbs and am seeing much less belt creep. I will probably reduce the torque further, after I get more miles on this setting. Seems that with the torque so high on that bolt, it just draws the belt tighter as we drive.

@Roy658 - i missed this somehow! Very bummed to miss you up there this year!

@KayTwo Really hate to miss the ride but I can't push the Sling as fast as the rest of you drive. Dogs has a harness for your led switches, if you haven't wired them in yet.

Sorry guys but I'm out for this year. Terri and I were out riding on Sunday when the Sling just died. No electrical power. Still digging into the wiring but nothing so far. Might be the Guard Dawg circuit. We took an extended history tour for 3 weeks in September and October and while friends were feeding the parrots, rodents took up residence in the garage with the Sling. I thought I had repaired all of the damage to the wiring harness but I must have missed something critical. Glad we decided to wring it out before heading to the mountains.

@rabtech - Our prayers are with your family. Hope everything turns out well.

@KayTwo, Terri and I are in. Booked into Murphy Motel 9 thru 12. It cheap clean and quiet.

Kudos my friend but at my age I will have to live your adventure vicariously! Way too many hours in the saddle at one time. Great trip with an excellent group, thanks for sharing.

Might pull me from that list. We're coming up from Atlanta.

Got it. Makin plans now.

@Roy658, I haven't forgotten...I'll have something for you tonight of tomorrow. Sorry, last few days kinda got away from me.

Not a problem, still have lots of time. And if there isn't anything, it is still less than 3 hrs back.

We'll come up the morning of the 30th and return 31

Roy, do you mean for Maggie, or are you referring to a motel in my area to stay over instead of going up to MV?

Need one in your area. We will have to miss maggie this year but plan an overnite up to Gville for lunch. Also, anything we can bring.. side dish etc.

@KayTwo Terri and I plan to be there. Can you point me toward a motel with secure parking for the sling?

@sideseatdriver Sorry I'm soooo late. Haven't looked at actives in a while. Really nice of you to do the trench work. Sent.

@MWSlingshot I went a little farther. Replaced the whole dash with an aluminum plate holding 14 switches a marine radio and a replacement start button. Problem with this is there is no going back as most of thoem plastic is removed with only about 3/8" border remaining.

I have only a single down the right side, runs the length and exits behind pass compartment.

Just like this past weekend, right?
Get those harnesses installed?

Should be balmy!

Making brackets to bolt across the roll bars. The PRP seats are too high for the attachment bolt. With the brackets I can feed through the opening near top of seat.

Terri and I will be there. Can't wait - what with all the global warming, it should be quite pleasant weather!

sweet... I grew up in Lithonia. That's my very old stomping grounds.

Some rough neighborhood now a days. Looking to relocate to TN. More fun on the roads up there and no risk of getting a road rage shot on 285

Shared above. They have colors other than black, but some of the colors don't have the high quality metal speed latch at the lap. Company makes a 2.5" as well, but the chest clip on the thinner harness wasn't as sturdy.

Listen to the lady. The black harness was the only one I could find with the metal latch. @sideseatdriver you should get a finders fee from Amazon That 90 second demo sold me.
