Easy install at least it was to me. Installed the HD adjustable on my last two bikes with zero complaints, and I do use the adjustable feature on the fly; wouldn't want one that does not adjust. I can move it back far enough allowing me to ride as if it's not there and forward enough giving my passenger more room if needed.

fyi I've read that the bracket can sort of stick up making the split in the seat not look right on certain model seats but will not interfere with it's function. Can't even tell it's there on the limited seat, on the Road King it did create a small gap in the split.

Very easy to install, attached the adjustable lever bracket to the top bolt on the heat shield left side, it's very easy to reach on the fly. Four bolts under the seat and your done. Hope this helps !!
