If you have floor boards they have to come off to mount guard other than that should be a piece of cake Good luck and have fun.

No problems on my fatboy. I do not recall having to remove the floorboards, but it may different on the springer.

No problems on FLSTCI. Three bolts and done. If you have an HD oil cooler (other than thier brand new model), you can not mount both.
