Comments: 4-5 hours steady going for install, reasonably good instructions, Great info on GC for installing these. Be sure to hang everything loosely so you can adjust the fitment. I found the best way was to stand the atv up on the rear rack, as per instructions, and the install was easy to do alone. CAUTION: Be sure to secure to atv when it is standing up as it is not rear stable.
