    I have also seen where they want the 15 minute rule. That is if you want to go somewhere that is over 15 minutes from where you live you have to get permission to travel. If I remember ther is a place in Cali. that is already doing that and it is being done in some places in Europe now.

    I am running one of the first Duals installed in Maggie myself. Fourth or fifth that was installed the first year. I need to install the system onto Sling II. I am still running the internal cat by-pass on the stock muffler that I did on Sling II. Actually IMHO the sounding exhaust there.

    This subject goes right along with the tall wind screen thread. The taller the wind screen the more back draft you will have. You have to have a way to dump air into the cockpit to cure this problem and not from the back.completely. Terry has tried everything but still is still running the tall windscreen. The wind wings do help at speed but not while running slow in traffic.

    Also as Edward Neal said about the parachute fenders. On track day on the front straight with the stock fenders 112-115 mph, Stirkerdick fiberglas fenders.110 mph and out of power. No fenders at all. 120 mph and still with power and picking up speed. Entrance to turn one around 80 mph with the stock Kenda's with stock brakes. Did not need any big brakes either. No add on's running NA.

    I have the Madstad (Twist Dynamics now) 13". I have it adjusted to the mid-point,about 1" above the dash. It leaves me about a 2" vertical slot between it and the Gullwing Roof that I look though.


    I am 6" tall, but very tall in the torso. The top of my head comes to the bottom of the top bar on the stock roll hoops when seated.


    The tallest windshield is the Nascar Tall Boy. It has actually been cut to fit within about 1/4" to 1/2" off the Gullwing cross bar. I've actually been thinking of it but in the Texas heat, what others have mentioned with retaining heat has me questioning it (along with the $700+ price tag).

    You can get more air in the cockpit by installing the side vents on the tube. They only work if you pull the front fenders off and leave off. That area with the fenders on has no air flow, I do not care what you try. I have been running my DIY system for years now and it works. I even made a set of wings for the top side post that worked way before the after market starting making them and charging you an arm and a leg for them. I also made luggage racks and sold for $150 before the ugly pieces of crap the after market made and was selling them for $500 to $1,000. My welder was making and powder coating them for $125, so I was only making $25 or so on each set. I could not get Sling Mods interested in selling them so I just made like 15 sets. Besides that I am sure you could pick up the back of the Sling Shot with mine, do not try that with the guy that copied mine, besides paying 3 times the price.

    I am 5 foot 6 inches as SlingLow said the top of my stock 2015 was right in my sight line. But I did the opposite, I cut down the wind scree 3 inches are just above the center mount hole. If you had ever had a wind screen fog up on you at 85 mph on the inter state you better be able to see over it or around it, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE SHIT OUT OF LUCK. Another thing about tall wind screens is the taller the less air flow/hotter the cockpit is going to be. Yes I have rode behind a plus 6 with 100 degree temps, i lasted less than one week and put the cut down back on and felt like I was riding in AC in comparing them. So far I have given away a cut down +6 cut down 3 inches and a +6. OH! that is with around 160,000 miles so far since Feb. 2015. I told one young lady not to put a +6 on in Maggie one year, she did and came back within 20 minutes and took it off.

    yes, I would highly recommend everyone get a good umbrella insurance policy to protect your ass and if you carry a gun best to get even more specialized insurance - - Unfortunatly we live in a very litigious world. where people seem to think you should be made rich for any little thing done
