It was not very hard to put on the Progressive, but it will be a bit different than the Bagger Brace due to the mounting. I used a 3/16" allen socket with a short extension and ratchet for the 3 transmission bolts that get removed and replaced with longer ones when the bracket is attached. The hardest part of the job was the removal of the original swingarm pivot cover bracket. The top bolt is easy to get out but the bottom is partially blocked by the exhaust pipe. I took the rear muffler bracket loose then undid the transmission bracket pipe clamp bolt then pushed the pipe outward and blocked it with a block of wood to hold it out enough to remove the lower bolt. Then the bracket can be slid out and removed upwards and the new bracket goes on the same way. The heim joint mounts between this bracket and the trans bracket. Make sure the 2 spacers for the heim joint bolts go between the heim joint and brackets. The heim joint may not need any adjustment when installed, but if it does not go on easily loosen the locknut and turn till the mounting bolts go in easily. Then tighten the locknut. Make sure the ends are as close to parallel with each other as possible so the joint can be turned back and forth for free movement.
Many thanks for the detailed feedback. Sounds like its easy enough and the price is right so I am going to pick one up.
i think alot has to do on how you ride - I myself did notice a positive differance with the TT installed vs stock setup. like i mentioned - once you have it installed - ride for several months - remove it and WOW. u'll feel the differance -- or ride a scoot same as ures from a buddy..
