I just installed my forwards, just removed the front muffler..
How hard depends on the quality of the kit,, I got an aftermarket chrome kit with ISO pegs, and the machining was not the best It made it real hard to get the pegs and peg springs mounted on the clevis, I actually used the clevis from the right side stock mids, and one of the stock peg springs, and one of the stock peg hinge pins to get it to work.

I put forwards on my '08 Nightster. Only issue I had was extra build up of powdercoat in the front mounting holes. I had to re-tap the holes. All I did was remove the exhaust slip ons not the header parts. Used a "T" handle allen wrench on the bolts.

They look pretty good, the machining is not the best, one of my clevis' was mis drilled, but they overnighted me another. The hinge pins just barely fit because of the chroming,, you may need to touch the edges of the hinge pin head with a grinder and the stupid little flat springs for the pegs are not quite right, I just used the hinge pins and springs from my mids.
