Did you do the work yourself how hard was it doing the rear?

This time i did not.But I have had the rear wheel and caliper off plenty of times.You will have no problems with this at all.It is a direct bolt on.The only difference is the stock caliper and bracket are two separate pieces.The PM caliper is a one piece unit.The front is just a matter of taking off 2 bolts and disconnecting the brake line.Bleed brakes and done

They make black contrast cut calipers that will fit your bike.
