I am willing to work with a timeline that is convenient.
I am really hoping it does stay in the forum.

I am not going anywhere. We will meet up soonish at a place to be anounced.
Slingshot family members,
It has come time, due to family commitments, to sell our Slingshot.
I am not going away, just letting Spirit go. I will be building another in the future.

Dave@DDMWorks has the numbers to show effiency of the angle drive vs. A normal differential. The SC they sell for the Sling as what is in the Soltice. The Sling dynos about 35 HP higher than the Soltice with the same boost set up at the rear wheels.
If I remember correctly (been about 2 years since I heard info).
I was the one who designed the fender eliminators that are now being sold. Removing the splash guard (Barn Door) takes about 5 minutes. The fender flap is reduced because the airflow travels over the wheel and aft. With the splash guards installed the air has no where to go, so it pushes up and down on the fender.
Thanks for the thread. I will be wearing their goods.
I have been running the Welter2.5 Sidkick for 2 years with no problems. I burned up a custom Magnaflow and an Alpha Side exit before the Welter.
I am running a 95 pulley with the cams. I also installed ARP head studs for insurance against the head liftung and taking out a piston.
What I have learned for the engine failures with the SC not get into the throttle below 3000 rpm above second gear. Off the line, first and second gear I will stomp the throttle at any time. Above 2nd I do not mash the throttle and lug the engine below 3000 rpm. The failures I know of did this in fourth and fifth gear due to heat soak in the pistons causing failures.
If you have any questions, give me a call in the evening. Leave a message if I dont pick up.
I can confirm what has been said about the HP numbers. I have been running an unforged motor safely at 350 HP dynod at the wheel. My set up is the DDM Supercharger with Cams with an updated tune.
rabtech MACAWS and my self have beetin our engines pretty hard to validate the 350 HP number unforged.
As anyone who has been in my sling will tell you, I bounce the rev limiter regularly with some reckless abandon.
Thank Dave@DDMWorks for the great products.
One of my favorite moments at the Homecoming was when DKF Texas gave a ride to two beautiful nieces of one of a Polaris employee.
Thank you for that magical moment.
You can't go wrong with either DDM or ZZP. They both have great products they designed, and the support is tops.
Make you mind up considering where you want your Sling to be in 1 to 2 years time.
I have been known to purchase certain items in the past only to replace at a future date. (There were only 4 accessories available to purchase when we first bought ours)
Through the work of the Owners Board, loyalty of the Owners, and the Trust of the Vendors, the Homecoming was able to happen.
Thank you for the video of the Homecoming. This is what we found ariving at the factory Saturday morning after 60 to 70 MPH winds Friday night. Every canopy was was destroyed with one over 500 feet away on the other side of the factory.
With help from Polaris on the clean up and the resolve of the vendors, we were up and running when the Slings rolled in.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success.

Pretty good math teacher. Wish I was in Huntsville but 15 hours kinda long drive in the heat.
But it is only 3 states away. Perspectuve.
Twas not that kind of drive wokka ...
So whats the official number of attendees? Last heard 324 of 326 but thats registered... anyone know if thats officially going to be the sling count?
Looking just short of 400 signed up and roughly 230 to 250 Slings.
Display MoreHow many hours of a ride is that BryanL ?
I know this goes without saying for everyone, but we owe a big debt to Ross and the rest of https://www.slingshotownersgroup.com/ for putting this together. Only they know how many hours they've invested for nothing but the joy of it.
and last but not least, MACAWS
Thanks to all of you
Yeah, I stole those names from the website, and I'm sure all of you helped in some way to make this happen for us.
You will have to add maverick5990 to the list.
Thanks

A friend has a 2015 base with SL wheels, QA1 shocks, Alpha intake and Exhaust, and 12,000 ish miles. $15,000.
He has not pushed this think hard at all. He is a really tame driver.
If you do the deal quick, I can bring it to Huntsville with me.
Went for a ride and had lunch at the Oark General Store in Oark Arkansas. It is a general store that was opened in 1890 and been operating every since. Great story, food, and pie.
Five hours of riding with Felicia chasing me.
The Panda will make you scream and Ill make you giggle like a little girl.
