I'm still running Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's in stock sizes for the SL. Have yet to let me down in all conditions, dry, wet, or twistees!

I think it's pretty safe to say that the Indiana and Ohio group will show up with bells on! Well, maybe not bells......

Good for you! Life is too short to not be happy! Unfortunately corporate America is full of a lot of BS. Yes men (and women) move up the ranks by being bobble heads and those who rock the boat get pushed aside. Always keep yourself first, no one else (except Steve) will!

Ready to finish up one of my signature dishes: Elk Balls. You'd be surprised how few Elk had to die to make this dinner possible.
Damn, how many balls does an elk have?

With all due respect. Trump doesn't have to prove his innocence. The Democrats have to prove both his guilt and that the articles (either one or both of them) rise to the point of being impeachable crimes. At this point, I would be surprised if the charges against him are allowed to go on as they have no standing in the point of law. Obstruction of congress does not show up anywhere as being a crime. It's a fancy way of saying Nancy and Shifty Schiff got their panties stuffed up their butt and didn't get their way and want to prove a point that they otherwise couldn't prove
High crimes and misdemeanors are basically whatever the House decides that they are and are tried in the Senate. The charges and conviction (if any) are not subject to judicial review, meaning that the decision cannot be appealed. The rule of law does not apply. If 67 Senators vote to remove the President from office, there's not a thing that he or she can do about it! This is what Trump's attorney Alan Dershowitz said during the Clinton impeachment.

Innocent people will allow any witness to be called and any evidence to be presented that will prove their innocence. This so called trial in the Senate will prove, as we all know, to be nothing more the partisan politics as usual. Is this what "We The People" deserve?

I really like what I have seen so far, but I'm not in the market! I'm happy with what I have done to mine and it fits what I want. Having said that, I hope they sell well and will continue to improve in the future. It's up to Polaris how this all plays out. I would like that new steering ratio though........

I'm like a bunch of us, I have spent so much on mods and extras to get mine where i want it, that I don't want to do it again! The biggest factor for me personally is that I'm using someone else's money for 72 months at zero percent financing! I can't replace that mod without hitting the nest egg!

It's not often in central Indiana, that on December 26th, the temperature is 63 degrees. I almost went through a tank of gas!

How cheap can I get the sway bar and parts? We will wait and see. Maybe I will not have to remove from Sling I and reinstall on Sling II
This is when I bought mine last year. Saved big!

Hey, I finally installed mine. I have not really checked it out yet. But I can say Sport Plus is kind of touchy.
Ya think!

Twist Dynamics, Madstad, and Welter are now all owned by the same company and SlingshotOnly is their distributor. For all purposes, you can think of them all being the same.
Don't forget to add in Slingshot Roadsters and their events!

With longer bolts, they even work with the MeanSling top!
-
My F4+3 barely clears the top. I don't see any way that 2 more inches on the windshield will work.

wokka thanks for the info. I'm looking into tops. Although I like the style of the TD Canvas I'm hearing some issues with wind in the cockpit and ripper windscreens. Another issue is luggage racks. I like the set I have from SlingLow and it looks like there will be no issue of compatibility with the ez-out t-bar frame. Now just waiting for info on wind in the cockpit using a ripper windscreen.
Frankie55 , I was Slinglow's test dummy when I bought his racks. Been on 4 trips and they work well. The only thing you need with the MeanSling top is longer bolts and 4 acorn nuts to dress it up. Btw, did you install the Bassani muffler?
-
I've actually seen a SS with that one on it and it seems really well made. Strangely, slingmods says it's been discontinued, but it appears to still be available on Twist Dynamic's site.
Edit: Actually it appears that Slingmods has stopped selling TD stuff altogether...
Twist is now owned by the same person who owns Slingshot Only. He's keeping it on his website.

MeanSling is the best priced of all the tops. I bought mine on a Black Friday sale 2 years ago. My wife was against it and I told here we could take it off whenever she wanted to. That has never happened. Gives you the best coverage of any of the tops on the market. https://www.meansling.com/product-page/meansling-sport-top Here's a few of them.

Something to take into consideration would be consistency with a throttle controller.
You been driving around and yelling 'Wow' playing with the settings.
Now you hit the hills and twisties, jack to sport +2.
And now you are yelling...
"Whoa boy, whoa! Don't jump the damn fence!"
Pick a setting and get comfortable with it...
Better to know how it will respond then to be surprised by how it reacts.
I agree 100%! What is comfortable for me will not necessarily transfer to another Slingshot and driver. Tunes, tires, shocks and a number of other items come into play. I have found a sweet spot for me and that's all that matters. Making an aggressive adjustment could be a bad move. I will turn it off if someone else is behind the wheel.

So you’re saying the cruise control disables the pedal commander?
YES!
