Default EVO five speed w/reverse

I got a screaming deal on a Baker reverse kit for the EVO five speed. Mark from Baker is probably at Sturgis, so I'm asking if anyone has ever done this install and can give me a heads up on doing it myself. I'll be mounting a sidecar soon.

We'd have to ask a Gold Wing owner that, to get ya a reply! Or Lead Boots as they are known over here......

Can that on-line video website give any helpful hints? There seem to be answers to most things on it.
