This is gonna be great! I always had a soft spot for the Slingshot and owned several at one point.

Are you converting to the original belt setup? I personally like the chain conversion. Are those parts from a Dominator?

No I am staying chain's!...no its not from a Dominator, it has Kyosho chain and sprockets...not sure who made the motor mount center section but it is a quality job!
