[QUOTE="Linc, post: 1118909, member: 28439"] They aren't too bad to install, Gary's walk thru is pretty good at showing the level of skill needed. On a scale of 1-10 I would say these are about a 6 difficulty, mostly because of the panel removal around the dash and the wiring needed to hook everything up. My install was about an 8.5 but I made it a pain in my own arse by also installing new FZ1 mirrors and an Eastern Beaver fuse block under the passenger seat plus soldering all my connections as I don't like posi-taps. But mine looks good and functions very well… it's totally doable if you take your time and have basic handy skills, plus I have seen some pretty bad hack jobs at dealerships. I try to be objective about working on bikes since my job is a repair technician for a mumbo jumbo of commercial electrical, gas, and mechanical equipment, so I am used to fiddling and tinkering with stuff that not everyone is comfortable with.

I'm planning on making a trip to Illinois this spring to help Tango Sierra install his Krista/Glenda combo on his '10… we are generally a helpful bunch if you can find someone semi-local. [/QUOTE]
