I got the bar about a week ago and just got around to installing this morning. Two things of note if you have a minimum of mechanical ability it is EASY I was done in about 55 minutes after reviewing all the posts here and reading his instructions it is a piece of cake job.I had a hip replacement about 8 months ago and if I say easy I mean it, another thing that helped was the motorcycle jack I got for $55.00 with the coupon I got here and used at Harbor freight. I took it for a short ride afterward and it is almost like magic in the difference it makes in handling totally worthy I am sure of a Noble prize for the change in handling.
