Welcome canegrinder!
Pictures save words...
Click here for Infotainment Removal
No real need to remove the command center...
Remove original windshield and then carefully reach in from the front tunnel from the engine side to install brace retaining nuts. Recommended not to do over a hot engine...
Videos really nail it down!

It takes less then 5 minutes to remove the radio. Just remove the screws in each corner and it pulls right out
Thanks for the info Shatneyman. I'm learning as I go along. As a retired aircraft mechanic I should know there is a right way and a wrong way to do anything. By the book.

EJ, tell me how to install this windshield and center brace without pulling the radio. My SS came without a center brace so I ordered one W/windshield.
Takes two people----open the hood and someone with reasonable slender arm ---you can reach in the space and hold the backing plat while and second person bolts the brace in place. If you drop a bolt in before you start you'll be able to feel your way around. The dash probably has a cap --- pop it and play before windshield gets in. I'm gong to pm you....

Well, I got my windshield today and said to myself I can get started on installation. Wrong!! Called Slingmods and informed them I did not get the center bracket. Its on back order. They will ship it sometime this month. Sooo, I'll sit here twiddling my thumbs for a while and read all the posts.
You are way more patient than I could be. If this happened to me I would be trying to find the center bracket at a different vendor and having it over nighted
edit - jut checked DDM and they show out of stock as well - - -

They should meet you part way on the one in stock...

I thought about that. I'm finding out that if the name Slingshot or Motorcycle is on a product its an automatic price increase. And that comes from many years of owning motorcycles.

Welcome canegrinder ... Glad to have you with us.

Give Don Frank a call at F4 Customs --- I think he stocks some. Get a refund from Slingmods. Let him know that you got the new F4.

I'm in Cape Coral, not far from Wingshots's new house. I have a trach and the SS was just too hot for me here in Florida. I'm back on two wheels now. Flybuddy is local here too. I was in Germany for around 24 years and was OEM'd in New Hampshire.

I had to go in the opposite direction. I guess I got to Old to ride on 2 wheels. It got to the point that every time my wife rode with me we dumped it. She is a lefty and had to mount the bike from the right side. I just could not hold it up., Answer to problem. Slingshot!!
