    What do the sound like?



    Sent from my iPad using Polaris Slingshot Info

    They sound freaking awesome, ask anyone that was at Eureka Springs meet. I wish it was louder but that is just me. I always ran open headers growing up so I am not going to get that V8 sound I love.

    Thanks for the input. I guess back on the ground for me. But will be worth it for future hook ups. This is just the first round of lights. Amazing how much I can get done sitting at home all day. But still rather be working. This whole unemployment crap sucks. In 45 years I have never been without a job or even called in sick. Getting a little stir crazy. Trying to keep myself busy so I dont drink all day and smoke all my cigars. 8|

    OK I finally got my led's installed on my side pipes so they will glow. My question is I bought a small fuse box that I am mounting inside the radio compartment and not sure if I need to run a hot wire straight from the battery or if I can tap off something with continuous power. I noticed the hazard light switch has continuous power but it is awful small gauge wire.

    Another one that's happy you are just walking with a cane! That could have been much worse very easily! Likely you got tapped in the rear, and I'm sure they didn't bother to stop and check on you. I've had too much death in my life in the past 18 months as it is.


    On that note, I found out late this morning that my wife's cousin (from NC, one of the ones she's closest to.... like a sister) was on her way home from an AA meeting last night. Truck pulled out in front of her, and the impact was bad. She didn't make it. :(

    Your right No one stopped. I stood in the rain for over 2 hours waiting on AAA. OHP stopped and told me I had 2 choices he make the calls and take care of it all and write me a big ticket or I take care of it myself. I was like I think I will take care of it myself. Ticket for what? I just was like in shock.

    Thank God I was not in the sling. Driving home from work you could not see 2 feet in front of you. I was behind another car and a pickup on my ass with a massive grill. All I know is I felt bump and I was spinning out of control. I think the truck tag my ass. Anyway I felt the car go off the road and BAM I was being thrown around like a rag doll. Broke my seat I was laying in the back seat looking out the broken rear window, was like WTF car full of smoke from the useless airbags. As you can see car it a total, I am fine, have to walk with a cane. My body feels like a punching bag from Rocky. Left leg cant hold me up. Drove my SS today, all I could do to keep her on the road, don't quite have the strength to hold it on the road. I thinking I might need a alignment. X(


    I've been leading rides on 2 wheels for nearly 3 decades. My personal take is this.... keep it a tight group with lower numbers and preferably people that you know and trust. That is the easiest. I prefer no more than 6 behind me, but have done rides with many more. Myself and one other guy still put on a ride in September every year, as a benefit to some local needing person or family. We have dealt with up to 100 bikes, and at that point it's not really as much fun as it is work. But it's for a good cause, so we continue to do it.


    But with all the rules, and the people that have no idea what it's like to ride in a group.... that leaves me and my wife to be mainly Lone Wolf riders, both in the Slingshot or on the Harleys.

    I think my SS was on 2 wheels most the turns. Arms were wore out fighting that damn thing.

    Like everyone else said CAI, Header exhaust. I was thinking of trying the Hann intake that was ported and such. Maybe try a different crank shaft.
    The super charger defiantly makes a difference in performance. I was behind @Slingrazor and another boosted guy and they had some serious HP. I had to push mine hard to keep up. Like I wouldn't have been anyway 8o

    I get to clicking to fast sometimes and spot it right when I click, if you go back it will be gone. Damn wesky wabbit.

    Why I call mine the pig pen. I clean the windshield about 3 times a week. But a good hand wash job not very often. I may stop by the car wash on the weekend and give it a quick rinse but no time to wash.
