Super easy to install. A friend and I did 2 sets already, 1 on my bike 1 on his. Takes maybe 3-4 hours. The hardest part was deciding where to run the wire harness. Also JD stands by his product 110%, if you got a problem call him and he does anything and everything to fix the problem. I'm very happy with them.

As simple as it can possibly be. Pretty much plug-n-play.

A bike jack makes it easy.
JD includes shrinkwrap for once you've connected the plugs.
I had my tank off so I could run the wiring from the switches in the stock wiring channel under the tank.

As said by those who actually installed them instead of watching theirs be installed, figuring out where to run the wiring harness for a clean install takes the most time.

Taking of the stock shocks is still what I think is the most difficult part.

Installed mine a couple months ago. Was pretty easy. Ran into a problem because I have a Performance Machine Phatail kit. Called JD and we figured it out.
