Here in the desert the extreme heat has a way of shortening the life of automobile batteries. As such at some point I know I will go out to start my sling and it will be dead. I know the best solution would probably be to upgrade to an optima battery, but at this point I am not running any extra accessories that put any additional drain on the battery.

Just to be prepared for that day when my battery dies I would like to look now what battery I would need to replace it, this way I can do research now to know the best place to get it when the time comes. I have looked in my owners book and all it tells me is that it is 12 Volt / 30 Amp Hour / 575 Cold Cranking Amps

That is good info to know, but it doesnt really tell me much if I wanted to walk into a local auto parts place or the Harley dealer and buy one. Normally if I were buying a car battery I would expect a series number or size number

So can someone here tell me the series number or size of the stock battery in my SL

thanks

I remembered reading on here they were talking about different batteries. go to the search form and type in better battery. I think that will bring it up.

forgive a highly medicated vet. Where is the for sale or wanted threads, or are they banned on this forum.

They should be in the top right corner

Was there any talk of changing the body style up?

Hey everyone, I'm having a small issue and have been calling around a few vendors with no luck!
I recently got rid of my 16 SS and own a 17 SS now and am having problems getting my Canadian headlight setup installed.
I have ALL my parts from the old 16 headlight setup including, front housing, leds, and halos.
The issue I'm having now is that the bracket to hold the extra 2 led lights housings are not on the 17 model anymore.
Few shops are selling the 17' Canadian headlight setup for a few hundred bucks but I don't need anything but the 2 brackets to hold the extra lights. Can someone help me with how to mount them or a bracket setup I can purchase from someone?!
?I ended waiting on slingmods to come out with there conversion kit. ordered it and for some reason the head light bezel bolt holes would not line up. i ended up having to remove the blinkers and installing one bolt and then pushing against the bezel to get the other bolt hole to line up, then reinstalled the blinker all in all i am happy with them. i am not sure you can use ant 2016 parts on the 17 model.

Pop the painted plastic pieces off the center console area. Then you will be able to snake wires everywhere.

This is the set up i have done, I went a head and built everything, thinking it would be easier this way instead of running each wire separate.

@larry Let me rephrase that i just crawled back under there to mark the drive shaft for removal and mine looks like yours does.

trooper I hope you don't have the same issue I have, crawled under our sling couple weeks ago to find this bolt backed off, the strange thing is it's tight as crap and I can't loosen nor tighten it...wondering if any one else has had this to happen.....

No Sir I do not think so but i will look closer for sure now, reason i was asking is i am installing some toggle switches in my center console and crawled under the SS and noticed it would be so MUCH EASIER to install them if the drive shaft was removed.

Slingshot prop shaft assembly (p/n 1333009) looks like this:

Yes Sir, was asking if you can just undo the ujoints at the angle drive and pull the drive shaft out, like a regular vehicle, or do you have to undo the bolts also on the transmission.

I love the JRi Hydraulic Ride Height Shocks for this very reason, I was able to raise the SlingShot as I drove into this location and lower it for the pic. You can raise and lower back to back, to back, with fast action and never need to wait. Ride quality and performance remains the same regardless of height.

Does it effect your wheel alignment any with it being raised up and down? And is it a smoother ride then the stock shocks?

My question is, does the drive shaft remove like a car's drive shaft? If you undo the ujoints bolts will the front slide out like it does on a car, or do you have to remove the blots also on the front of the drive shaft on the transmission.

May I chime in here for a second. as a Trooper we do have a lot going on in our cockpit, and Yes i love my in car computer, but i have learned over the years what not to do. I still use my radio for running traffic as i am driving, i fell like if i am on my computer typing i am no better than the citizens texting while driving. I have to make my dispatcher earn there pay lol. But seriously I have worked and seen more bad accidents not from drunk or high drivers, but from cell phone use. Just last week I worked an accident that could have been deadly, luckily they both were not hurt to bad. Had a subject face timing and rear ended a truck. The impact was so hard the driver seat of the truck was broken, along with his rear end and drive shaft. the car that rear ended the front was caved in and pushed back. only god was with them and they survived. I can stand out outside my house just about anytime and just watch people drive by with there phones up. and at night it's a given with there cell phone light in front of there face lol. Years ago we had drunk drivers and then prescription pills now cell phones. Don't get me wrong technology is great, but I think it is going to be our down fall also. Just my opinion that's all. lol

That is good to know. When I talked to them yesterday they said they were out and I got the last room. But we change hotels. Since me and the wife want to come up Tuesday.

Set in stone, we will head up Wed morning. Cant wait it is our only vacation.

That is good news, now i can get a close up look at them side pipes.

Welcome aboard., These guys and gals on here are great for helping out.

Hey guys and gals, I just called the host hotel and i think i took the last room there but they did not have anything for Tuesday so i got booked from Wednesday through Saturday. we had plans driving up Tuesday. that is what i get for waiting to long lol.

Is there anybody staying else where other than the host hotel? Just curious, the host is a bit pricey, but that may the going rate. we do not get out much and go anywhere since our little one arrived. and on a budget now lol. I was thinking about what i just posted here and it was bothering me. so i had to pull over and add to this. first of all by NO means did i mean any disrespect to the guys/gals putting this event together. I know there is a lot of hard work and effort that is going into putting this event on, and have no doubt this will be an awesome event. our son was born early and wasn't sure if he was going to make it, i have a new look on life since he is here and god has blessed us. it is no longer just me and my wife and god and our son comes first. so if i can save a few dollars here and there to give him more than i had i will. so let me apologize again i did not mean any disrespect to the guys/gals putting this event on. it's just what i posted at the first of this did not sit well with me so i wanted to try to make it right that is all. and i hope i have

Just looked at mine. mine is not sticking out but zipped tied to the bracket beside the clutch. you may need to just stick it back in and zip tie it up.

Bsnsports.com carries the plastic end caps.
With only minor trimming to tabs, tie wraps and some screws and you can use the SS plastic cable studs the connectors are neatly covered. SKU : BEENDCAP. 6 per pack .. $ 9.99 plus shipping, not bad to share at a meet up.

Those look good all neatly tucked away.

have a question. i cut my wire on my headlight relay and have wired to a switch now that works. outside lights still on, so is the accessory relay for the outside driving lights? i only had one headlight relay.
