Been deal'n w/Them fer awhile, ($1000's) never had a problem...
Maybe a couple little trivial glitches, no biggie, and they will bend over backwards to correct anything at their expense!!!
Give em a call, they are great at correcting anything QWIK!!!
or Post yur problem here, Yu'll get instructions...

I hear ya! I have my first HD and have spent maybe $500 with them and have not seen one instruction. But they are pretty good with things like I placed an order and I called the next day to add something, they said my order already shipped but would send me my added parts for free! Pretty cool. I do think most of there stuff is not exactly high quality though either.

Dash kits don't have cheat sheets you have to go with the factory wiring diagrams and I'm getting the feeling wiring spooks you .

Over the top for the seat area just wrap the wire bundle good and make sure the metal tab for the front of the seat doesn't pinch anything you'll be ok .

the wiring diagram out of the book is fine,,Its just all these extra nuts and bolts and clips for the breakers,,seems a lot more than the original.Thanks about the routing for wires.

Some models the breaker clips where spot welded on the under side of the dash plate where the switch sits , all the extra hardware is for those who want to bolt them on like stock . 99% of us don't .
