It's not bad. You have to have a jack support the engine and to lift it up to get the mount out. Factory front mounts suck. You may want to check out the velva ride front mount or the mount from Glide Pro. The voltage regulator has to come off and it's a little tight, but not a hard job.

Like stated aboove it's not a hard job and the manual will help, and I say this not trying to be a dick. On my electra glide I think there was a certain way to install and line up/tighten the bolts to make sure it is correct. Good luck.

Not trying to be a "DICK", but working on your own bike without a manual isn't very smart, screwing something up will cost a lot more than a manual.
