I'm more interested on how it is licensed, motorcycle? or? I think it was Connecticut that won't allow them to be sold and licensed there as they don't qualify as a motorcycle or car.

Certainly an interesting "vehicle".
Posted at their forum last Friday (as was the article). Just trying to help out a member/friend.

"If you own a Slingshot please contact your local dealer starting on Wednesday, January 22 to schedule a service appointment to have the necessary updates performed. The replacement service parts will begin to be available for dealers to order on Thursday, January 22. We expect to have the vast majority of replacement service parts available for dealer order by the end of January. Of course, Polaris will replace all parts and make the necessary repairs at no cost to customers. If you have placed a deposit to purchase, or are considering purchase of a new Slingshot vehicle, our factory production schedule will continue as originally planned."

Hmm, then the dealer shouldn't have delivered or at least advised that vehicle is "in" but due to recall can't deliver until parts changed out but that may have caused red flag and cancellation of order.

I wasn't going to pick it up till the weather warms up a bit anyway I just went over to check it out. They are just going to swap out the whole steering box not really a big deal and should be done by the end of Jan. The one in the pictures is mine
