Word to the wise... don't forget to tighten up your clutch lever!!!
Riding around today in traffic I noticed my bike was juttering at low speed. When the brake wasn't applied, the bike wanted to move forward. Took me forever to realize the clutch lever wasn't tight. I guess the rattling of the bike slowly loosened the cable out more.
Now I have to get used to the new friction point

So I installed the shift kit in the 'new' bike. Went a WHOLE lot smoother this time around. In and out in less than 2 hours. The guide is pretty spot on, if I do say so myself 
One thing I neglected to add to the original post was the size of the large stake nut. 27mm, which is bigger than most socket sets supply.
Bike is winterized, so I won't have a change to test it until spring, but it shifted through the gears no problem on the paddock.
Can't wait.

Cool! Yeah those big nuts are a pain in the ****.
Working on a Yamaha Raptor and needed 30mm and 36mm. Found the 30mm pretty easy. The big one I had to pay through the nose for an axle impact socket. I sort of hate those expensive "one time" use tools.
