I bought one but have not installed it yet. The guy I got it from installed it and did not like how hard it was to shift into neutral. I decided it was worth seeing for myself. I went to install it and it was almost impossible to get one bolt out of the cover due to clearance with the frame. He replied he had to grind a bit out of the froma to get the bolt out. I'm going to try again.
Prof. re that one bolt: the testamonial on the manufacturer's site has this from a New Zelander-"Also it is not that difficult to install either as long as you have the gear to get the front sprocket nut undone (a rattle gun is handy) and you are prepared to bend up a ring spanner so as to get that one gearshift housing cover bolt that is a bit hard to get at." I don't know what he means by a ring spanner, but it might help you if you can figure out what he means. Frame grinding = no-no for me.

Install notes:
Installation requires countershaft sprocket removal. Impact wrench recommended
8mm box wrench and socket set Most newer 12 point 8mm wrenches are thin enough to work in these close quarters.
Does not require case splitting.
Estimated shop time: 1.0 to 2.5 hours
Suggest to do when replacing chain and sprockets.
Remove the countershaft sprocket.
Loosen every bolt on the shifter cover.
Remove every bolt that you can get to.
There will be one or two bolts that the frame will be in the way.
Don't have to grind the frame......
Reach back, behind the cover and there will be one or twp small alignment dowels that are still stuck in the engine case. The height of the dowels is why you can't remove the cover (with the screw still installed)
Use needle nose pliers or "your choice of tools" to lift them out towards you.
Then, screws will have enough clearance to slide sideways, with the cover - and you can get to the STAR and Detent Arm.
It's possible that some individual frames may be bent and welded very slightly differently, but we haven't seen one, yet. (but it doesn't mean that they don't exist!)
