  4. I've thought of getting some pin stripping done on the Slingshot. Haven't totally made up my mind but if Jay Bird was there at MD then that could sway me easily. Larry

  6. That's awesome Dave & Sue. Congratulations on your anniversary today. On another note my son got married yesterday. We sure were kept busy and on the run this past weekend. https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xla1/v/t1.0-9/13102829_10206769511184454_4244491663524464723_n.jpg?oh=922d620ffaaf2407e3c92142134dbf6f&oe=577365C4

    Another talented performers life wasted due to drugs. I saw a news clip saying he was treated for overdose just a few days before his passing.
  12. When I had my 09 /Hannigan trike I made a stainless steel plate that mounted to the trunks bottom. Doing that stiffened up the bottom preventing cracking. Then added some metal strips to the bikes rack. I can't remember exactly how far I was able to move the truck back (3/4" 1"-1 1/2"??) a couple hole spacing's I think. I did weld a nut to the bottom on the rear most holes thou. Another thing needed doing was adding spacers to raise the trunk because you'll need to clear the lip on the trikes body. Spacer height 1/2" 3/4"? The extra work was worth it cause Mrs. C-1 was a happy rider. LOL Thought I had some pics but didn't see them off hand. Ragtop69gs did this to their trike as well so he may have some pics too. It was a trial and error fitting for me to get the desired rearward movement and the height of the spacers needed to clear the lip of the body. Larry
  13. Hey Larry,, does Tweeks sister still have 2nd gear in her? 2nd gear problem was taken care of long ago. You'll be able to do wheelies hitting the 2nd gear bro. 70k something on the odometer. I've got the original shop manual that the previous owners documented all repairs and add ons. She's a standard so no class to mess with . More info send a pm or e-mail.
  14. Well Puc you know Dale has point about Tweaks getting tired. Like us she's not getting any younger you know. Now as you know I have her sis sitting in the garage and really wanting some road time. Since I've gone to the 3rd wheel and have pretty much decided to give up two wheeling she could really welcome a new owner. Someone to stretch her legs. Larry
  15. Well if you hadn't tried smuggling in ammo and getting caught doing so then you'd breeze right thru like the rest of us. Musta really hid that gun well cause they didn't find one. After that episode you're on their radar now. You could always go the long way too. Larry
  16. "quote" You are correct about the Slingshot. The ROLO system can also be used to align the Slingshots and I believe the steps are about the same as Spyders. I know it would require different adapters than I have, not sure if it also requires changing computer settings." quote " Yes the slingshot benefits from having a laser alignment done but in most cases reprogramming the computer isn't needed. Mike Loescher calls his system True Laser Track Alignment System for the Slingshots. Same system used for the Can Am's but they do use different hub adapters. On the Slingshot the rear wheel doesn't have any alignments, belt adjusting is done on the front sprocket. Polaris early in 2015 had a steering recall which mine was one had done. I wasn't entirely happy with the steering so had the laser alignment done. Made a huge difference on the highways. Beforehand steering was constantly hunting back and forth, after the alignment it was rock steady. Money well spent. Joyce & I really enjoy driving the slingshot. It helps that we're a lot more comfortable in it plus she can drive it too. Though licensed as a motorcycle here in Michigan it is classified as an "autocycle " so no mc endorsement needed, just a regular drivers license. Larry
  17. Dan lots of folks just take em off entirely. Bikes look good without them anyhow. Larry
  18. http://roadstercycle.com/V-Max%20Pictures.htm not your typical trike
  19. Yep I make a hitch for the Slingshots. Its half the costs or more of the commercial units available. Strong, simple, & efficient just like my RSV hitches. Larry
  20. That'll be great Touch. My feeling is the same for out of area drivers but what do I know? Common sense is my thoughts but we know how that goes some times. Definitely looking forward to the rally. See ya there, Larry
  21. Interesting news Tooch. With the rules you've posted above it appears they'll be more classified as an auto cycle like many states are doing here in the US. I see one problem with the rule concerning pulling a trailer. What about visitors from the States who tow a trailer or even those who tow with a Can Am? Are they going to be ticketed / fined? Do you have a link showing these new rules? Larry
  22. Its really up to you and your lovely wife whether you want to host this event. You know people will come if its posted and low numbers may be a blessing too. Do what you feel is best for you guys I say. Larry
  23. By all means you really need to take a decent test ride on one to see if you fit good on it. Depending on how long legged you are there are foot pegs that can be added but no matter what you get you'll be spreading your feet apart. May or may not bother you but you won't know till you ride a Wing.
  24. I want to John but being so close to the International I'm not sure if we can swing it $$$ wise. I just took a big hit in the wallet last week replacing our furnace / AC units. Not ruled out entirely but won't know till later if we can swing it. Larry
  25. Welcome to the Slingshot world Gary. After having mine for over a year now I know I made the right decision buying ours. Ya I still miss my 09/ Hannigan trike at times but the comfort in the Slingshot overcome having any second thought. What year is yours? 2015 or 2016 year model? No real differences between the years thou. Polaris has been addressing a few bugs in the early 2015 model so the 2016's should be trouble free now. Have fun with it and hope we cross paths this summer. I plan on going to the International and Mike's Root Beer run. Also the Canadian rally in Ontario, some of CowPuc's Hot Dog meets, and Don's MD, and who knows where else we'll end up. Larry
