I'm not sure about all the models but I just flipped mine on my 883R and all it took was a 13mm socket and an allen wrench. I'm not sure on the size of the allen wrench but, other than that, it's easy as Sunday morning.

I myself have an iron and all i need was a wrench. just be sure to save the rubber caps on the bottom of the mirror stems. they're hella easy to lose. other than that flip left to right and right to left. throttle side slide it in between the throttle cables and you should be good to go. bout 5 min of work, looks cool and a helluva lot more visibility. good luck and congrats on the purchase

This is how I did mine, of course I have an Iron but it may work for you too.
Good luck and enjoy your bike!
