Were these an easy install? OK for the non-mechanic to switch out?

DK finally got the 430 HDs in - was notified by email and purchased immediately, they had 1 set.
Easy install - remember the spacer and sleeve both go on the inside to make room for shock to clear chain guard.
Chalk your bike so it won't tip over or move forward and release the jiffy stand. I just pulled under the fender to lift the bike about a half inch up and the shocks bolts went right in.
You can have the progressive label facing out or in by twisting the shock...the pic shows in, i adjusted them and now have it facing out.
