Default ride str8 installation

Anyone have a copy of the installation instructions for the ride-str8 brace they could scan and email me? I bought a used one from a forum member, but apparantly he no longer has the documentation. Many many thanks......

After looking at the unit, I think I've puzzled most of the installation out. Looks like you replace the swingarm mount, and then the smaller bracket bolts up to the rear of the transmission. I don't have my bike in my garage to look at, but I'll do that tomorow. Can't be too difficult. Any tips or pitfalls to avoid would be appreciated.

It's as you believe, fairly simple installation. Just torque to correct ft/lbs, but I don't remember those numbers.
