These work very well for getting to the drain plug from above.
A good way to get burnt if the oil is hot. "BE CAREFUL"

So you sayin you are dumping us for 4 wheels?
Nice Ride my friend !
let us know when you are three wheels down and we will set up a welcome back ride
I was wondering where the tread was on those tires
DO NOT BUY THE PRESSED SHEET METAL SOCKET/OIL FILTER TOOL
Yes wear gloves always. Were I work it's mandatory to wear them. I have gloves everywhere at home and wear them when I work on things that can cut or scrape
I have used the leather gloves for at least the last 30 years and even now if they are not close by and I do without I will do something and of bring the blood
I keep kicking myself for not purchasing a "spare" set back when they were being sold so cheaply. I believe I recall somebody selling the brand new wheels, tires, as well as the double bubble windshield, as a set for around $500, including shipping?
Bill
Yep! That was right $450 I kicked myself for not buying two sets instead of just the one set
I could not find it in the Specs on the sites. But, Orangeman is right.
Here's an interesting gift idea. https://luckyshotusa.com/produ…g-page-prospecting-20-off

This is my personal favorite slingshot video ever posted, it belongs to our very own semi MIA Cameron Roberts , just listen to those engine notes!
Yes! I agree Remember his wife was riding with him!
I'm working on getting "retired" not sure I want to not work at all, but I do want to get to where its on my terms.
The one thing about being retired is you have a hobby or other things to do rather than staying piled up in the house in the recliner. I have friends that are still working at 72 years old. They do not have a life other than work.
Yep, But I do not know how to text
I have not tried mine out yet, when I do I will be doing the rims to see if it works better than the F-11. With the F-11 I can just wipe the brake dust from the Hawk 5.0 brake pads off

YEP!
One person hit a brick in the middle of the road and busted the rim, pictures were on TDS
and now all of mine will be 3 days except for the ones where Monday is a holiday and those will be 4 day weekends. and the first one of those will be in just a few weeks for Memorial Day weekend - - - - Hehehhehe
I have not worked a day since Nov.5,2005 You just will not know how much you will enjoy the time off. I do not stay piled up in the house in the recliner. OH! I do stay busy, spent the days riding or tinkering in the playroom every day. Even a good book will only last me a little more than 8 hours.
The last 10 years that I worked, 52 weekends a year I took 22 of them as 3 day weekends. Personal days and vacations included
Back in TDS a few people posted picture of their rims cracking/bending at spots and not being able to fix them due to safety concerns due to "crappy" rims.
To this day I haven't had an issue with my Early 2016's(really a 2015 carry over sling) but I meticulously check them every time I accidentally hit a pot hole.
I have banged the hell out of mine quite a few times, but no problems so far. (2015)
Display MoreCouple things I would try...
I too have a Welter exhaust. Duel rear and I also have a yellow top battery. No issues, but FunCycle - all good points.
I was down in Maggie last year when Welter introduced the "fix" for fumes. VERY expensive for some plastic pieces that taped onto the bottom of the sling. Not sure if anyone can speak to their success or not, but I heard a few people were loosing them as they fell off down the road. All it was were 3 pieces of 45deg. angle plastic pieces that moved the air downward as you drove. I didn't experience any issues, so never purchased them... until NOW. I put a top on the sling and now getting the smell. I actually don't mind it, but may have eaten too many paint chips when I was a kid too.
My fix will be to try a piece of rubber door molding. They sell it at Home Depot where it's metal stip with a piece of rubber mounted at a 45deg. angle on it. Get a 5 foot strip and mount it along the bottom of the sling to do the same thing, but at least if the rubber hits something, it will give a bit and I'm sure the faster I go the more it will flatten out which I won't be smelling it anyway with more airflow.
Now in your case, your's is coming out the side. I wonder if a piece of the same molding up front mounted in just the right spot would solve the issue? May be worth a try. It's something similar to this, but I know I've seen them at a 45 deg. angle....

The entire principle was to disrupt the airflow a bit under the sling. I'm traveling home this weekend and will be fitting my sling with one. If I can't find the 45deg. one, I'll have to make one. I have a siding break at the house and can make something I'm sure.
Home Depot has the Everbilt Sheet Metal Aluminum 6 in. x .025 in. x 18 in. long If I remember it takes two pieces 11 inches long and one 14 inches long. I bought the metal and never made the pieces. I have one of the plastic pieces I picked up in the street in front of the Comfort Inn somewhere. Cut the metal 2 inches wide and bend at 45 degrees long ways. You could use hose screw clamps around the frame to hold on after taking a 1/2 or 3/4 flat chiseil to cut a two holes to run the clamp thru on each end.
Mitch just replaced his front camera. I think he said it was a $100 camera
Wiped the entire tub, fenders ect down with the Interior detailer just last night - Like I said in a post above, as often as I use the lucas products on the Slingshot having a product that can hold up for months on end is not an issue I am reapplying at least once a week.
My SS also gets wiped down at least once a week, It is according to if I do not have any honey do's
Display MoreYeah, but look at better pricing
Shine Armor Fortify Quick Coat Wax on Amazon for $19.95 / 6 oz == 3.33 per oz
TopCoat F11 Master-Craftsman Polish & Sealer - 1G on amazon is $208 with shipping / 1 gallon == 1.625 per oz
Buy in bulk and save. Me, personally, I ordered the Shine Armor to try out, but also plan to keep using the Lucas for touch up and quick cleaning.
I was not looking at the gallon Sale price for the F-11. 18 oz. for $59.97 or $3.33 oz. I think I got that from the F-11 site
