I'm not trying to be funny...but I was just in Charlotte, NC in a Hotel that was undergoing a complete reno. When I say a total disruption of service, I mean a total disruption!!!!! Fortunately, it was a business trip, so I didn't have my better half with me. Keeping my eye on this one, just to make sure there will be no surprises.

Also they let you bring in your dogs/animals (OK @Tripod) at this MicroTel. That is why I no longer stay in this motel, people are bad enough, I damn sure am not sleeping where the dogs have been sleeping.

Did you take one of each?

At this time I have 38,000 miles on the fronts, I will change out after the first of the year, to start the new season with new tires. Still a few thousand miles could be run on the fronts. As far as the rear I changed out at 16,000 miles, almost to the wear bar but did not want to take a chance on a trip in case of rain. I did keep it as a spare just in case. But for some reason there was a minor difference in the wear between the two sides of the tire. The passenger side has a little more wear on it than the drivers side. At the 16,000 miles I installed the BFG Comp and I did not get much mileage out of it even though it had good traction IMHO. Mileage is on here somewhere for the BFG. I am now running a General, great traction IMO. I will be installing the same tire on the front shortly. @j4henry is also running these same tires. By the way the SlingShot had the laser alighment at about 1,000 miles and it made one hell of a difference in the way it drove and handled.

@FunCycle let me know what you figure out. I would love to get something to keep warm. Torn between heated seats or heated clothes. Leaning to heated clothes.

I can tell you right now, it will not be heated seats. That is just a waste of electricity.

If you have a Cycle Gear store near you go in and look at their Seduci heated riding gear. Their liners use the carbon heating gear that is very effective and it is guaranteed for the life of the product. They will do a one for one swap in the store if there is a problem. It generally cost less than the name brands.

I did not know it but there is a Cycle Gear Store in Charleston that I will be checking out. THANKS

Good deal!
There's a lot of knowledge on this forum. Don't know if you're on any others, but this has (IMO) the friendliest collective group and the most shared information. Hope you enjoy it - please share your expertise.

You're just a hop down the road, but that whole area is one of my favorite go-to places for local short rides. We will have to hook up and just cruise around.

Oh, make sure you put yourself on the member map, too.

You need to go ahead and register for the SSITS17 @ivor says he is looking for 400 SlingShots this year. Need to get a room also. Go to Slingshotroasters.com for info and registration. Now that is taken care of, welcome to the info forum. Will look forward to meeting you at the SSITS

I finally installed mine this morning

Boy! This thread sure went to hell fast

Quote from STYLN

You guys make me eager to get mine!! Both will be delivered on the 28 of oct! Where did you get the LEDs for headlights and does Wally World carry the extra batteries?

$199 Sell price must already be off, could not find anything on it on Walmart.com

Winter time is here for some of us on the forum. Personally I have never had any and I have ridden year round in the coastal South Carolina area. Looking for any words of wisdom on heated gear. What works and what does not.

Just registered for SSITS17 and the dinner. Will probably arrive on Monday morning around 11 AM

We are at the host motel and will be there early

So I have had mine on for about 3 weeks now and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!

There are a few issues that need tweaking but it does not change my feelings on this product to a negative one:

1) My drivers side screws are TOO LONG and bottom out in the brackets before fully tightening therefor I had to add some black washers to the drivers side only to get it to fully tighten. Unfortunately I didn't catch the issue before the plexiglass became scratched by the brackets being loose but I'm sure the company will help me on this once I contact them.
2) The flex! I dont care how well you follow the instructions, with it mounted to the back of the roll hoops there is some flex in the product that allows it to hit the center rear fin. Unfortunately I did not receive the piece to rectify this issue and my fin was scratched on one side. Since then all of the new deflectors come with a center "pad" that you just slide up the middle of the product to protect your fin. I dont really care about the scratch because you can only see it if I point it out or tell you and also because hopefully I will be able to get some @Painter love in the off riding season!
3) with the deflector mounted to the back of the hoops I loose the ability to add my cool ass (pics have not yet been posted of the final product) luggage racks that I bought from @FunCycle but if I flip it around and move it to the front....Problem solved!!! (in theory! LOL)

Here's a few pics with the Deflector in the AWESOME PURPLE color!

Special thank you to all my brothers that helped make this wind deflector possible!!! See that post here! Post#2939

We also still used the luggage racks with the Stinger roof. We just made some spacers and drilled and tapped one hole and it still looks good. I know, wrong thread. But since it was brought up did not know where else to put it.

Accidents = 2 so far I was not involved in either one.

I'm curious to know where the money for building the wall would come from? Creating jobs is important, obviously, but the money to pay them needs to come from somewhere, no?

The import tax for products made in Mexico and shipped to the USA will pay for the wall. It works both ways, pay the taxes and build the wall to keep the illegals out, therefore more jobs (low wage jobs). If the corporations that took there manufacturing jobs to Mexico do not want to pay the import tax, then they bring the manufacturing back to the USA (higher wage jobs).

Congratulations on the new addition to your family, enjoy them while they are young. I had to wait for the grands to have my little girls. It might have been a good thing since I raised my two boys by myself. Someone may have got hurt if I had a girl also. Make sure that you spend a lot of time with them. I have 6 girls now and only one of them has me wrapped. She just turned 6.

Quote from Street Doc

Any chance it could get rid of the angle drive noise?

Can't do anything but help, that is what I was thinking. Use it in the angle drive.

What happened?

A whole list of things that Helliary and the DNC has done to get her elected, including the riots at the Trump rallies. They now have a video with the man supposely in charge of setting the riots up and the people he worked for. If you can find a rerun everyone should watch this one. The Hannity show from Monday night 10/17/16 very informative
