so installation... Is it as simple as putting it on a rear stand, taking the tire off and switching out the links?

Almost, need to support the bike in some other fashion tho. When you pull the bolts the SA will give way til it bottoms its travel out on a stand. May not end so purdy lol. I used racket straps hooked around a rafter n on the pass footpegs until I got all the suspension bolted up.

Ok, all the parts are almost in but i have a question. When raising the front, can i support it with a tree stand? or do i have to hang it from the rafters?

Tree stand... or anything that allows the forks to go up and down.
