Took me about 45 minutes yesterday morning, using the directions from 2007RoadGlide.&nbsp\\; If you do a search on detachable hardware and look for a post by him, there's a link to a .pdf that he put together.&nbsp\\; Far, far better than the crap directions that come with it.&nbsp\\; If you can't find his post, PM me your email and I'll send it to you.

I installed mine last year using 2007RoadGlide's pdf. That made all the difference! HD's instructions are confusing as hell. I think it's because they made one set of directions for both the forward and rear QD hardware kits.
