@Edward Neal I like the center windshield mount. This new lens has added stabilization and the video I just recorded had no shake. The stock 2020 R windshield is not braced. I have the post and suppose it could be. Drilling would make me as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs, but could give me a excuse to buy a taller one.
I can relate - drilling and cutting on slingshot things that didnt come that way does not sit well with me - - I look at the mods like the fender vents and they look really nice, but when I think about drilling and cutting - - yea, no thankyou
Heck I was even looking at the assault roll hoops for a time, but the drilling for the little cover plates really turned me off
My 2016 sling came with the windshield that bolted to the brace - - guess they dont do that with the newer models

I have one of the better ones for my crate. An Audio Control LC7i that emphasizes bass signals as volume is raised as factory systems at times are designed to roll off bass frequencies as volume is raised to keep from distorting the speakers.
Myself, if I were doing a full sound system for the Sling, I'd replace the head unit with one that has proper amp outs. The line converter is not a perfect solution.
I ended up going with the RCA splitters and tapped right into the signal coming from the Ride Command. The guy from JL Audio said, as long as the voltage was 8 volts or less, I could feed it right into the amp, and he was right. My signal is only about 5 volts and everything sounds great. I spent about thirty minutes this morning tuning the amp and then put the Sling back together. Gonna take the wife and the four-legged kids for a ride today and rock out... 😁

IMHO it should be the very first mod. Yes ,I do use my brakes hard when going into the turns. I DO NOT drag my brakes, I hit the pedal hard on entrance one time and make the turn, that is all most of the time.
Maybe so , but his brake lights don’t work!

Been using LC line for years in all my sound systems while keepinf fact head unit. Works like a charm. I currently have an LC6 on my sling set up and LC7 on one of my other vehicles.

I have not even been in the Play Room today. I need to get out there and wipe the dust off of both Slings

Ordered the DDM master cylinder brace this morning - - ordered it from slingmods - - figured it would help the local economy to order it from an in State company, not to mention the free shipping more than offset the CA sales tax
probably a mod I should have done years ago, but better late than never - - right?
Not to be out done I did the same. It looks like a month or so until I can ride so I may as well do some improvements to pass the time. I also added the coolant tank and billet caps to the order on impulse.

Changed my oil/filter AND installed the Fumoto Valve! Was excited to get it installed but forgot what a PITA it is to get to the stock plug. Valve ended up in the 2 o’clock position so even better!😎

Show off! 😝

Still trying to decide where I like this camera mounted the best. Base of the fin is the best mount spot but I don't like shooting through the tinted windshield. Just did a run with it on the windshield centered. Then on the drivers side where it angles back. Totally out of the way unless you want to look at the fender. Have to watch the videos I think the stock windshield vibrates to much.
Don dose your windshield have a center brace?

EjFord No it doesn't but the camera is working great mounted there now. The new extra wide angle lens has added stability so I am seeing no shake. My only problem now is my VIRB editor is causing my PC to reboot while exporting a edited video. If it isn't one thing it's another. I been using it all a long. Guess I will try Adobe again.

as a side note I bet places like Jeff lube hate the fumoto valves - - - last thing they need are cars that take forever to drain

I have almost 80k on my sling. I do all my own oil changes. I have no complaints with the oem plug.
