HECK NO THEY ARE PRETTY EASY I DID IT IN ABOUT 45 MINS. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE STREET BOB IS THE SHIFTER SPLINE THAT STICKS OUT OF THE PRIMARY. YOU CAN EITHER LEAVE IT IN THERE OR YOU LL HAVE TO PULL INNER AND OUTER PRIMARY. I JUST LEFT IT IN AND I ZIP TIED IT TO THE LINKAGE. KIND OF REDNECK BUT THATS OK FOR RIGHT NOW. I FIGURED ID WAIT TILL I CHANGE THE FLUID .

Did you use the new Tranny lever or stay with the old one. I remember the older kits came with a bracket to secure the old shifter lever to the bottom of the cylinder. Thanks.
