Its not too bad to install. Follow the instuctions that are hard to follow then you will need some common sense to kick in. On the bracket under the seat, you might need to get a little longer bolt and add some washers to angle the bracket back some. Backrest was too straight and made me lean forward some so the washers took care of that.

As others said, pain in the **** to install. Also, be sure and put some rags underneath as you will surely drop a nut and washer or two! Got mine on, but I struggled with it for a while. Well worth the effort though.
