Correct. I put one in my XCR800 and had to buy the mounting kit from Fast. Came with all the hardware, instructions and templates.

Did you purchase the skid used? Can I be nosey and ask what you paid for it? What model sled are you installing it into?

Good buy! You may inquire about having the shocks refreshed and valved for your weight.

Hey the mounting kit you got from Fast, the instructions and the mounting were they accurate, easy to follow, and everything fit as described, how long did it take you

Hey was planning on having the shocks done, but will order the installation kit, you all suggested first, sounds like that's the way to go, should save a lot of time and frustration, Thanks guys, definitely helped and put me in the right direction, much appreciated

Yes, Mount kit will be the ticket!

Verify this with Fast, but your front arm location should be a snap.

Yes--kit had everything. A little expensive for what it is, in my opinion, but the only option, too. A buddy and I did mine on a Saturday (Poo Aggressive chassis). The key things were having sharp drill bits for drilling out rivets and drilling holes in the tunnel, and a pneumatic rivet gun. It's not super complicated--just need to be precise with your measurements and drilling.

I'm not sure what the Yamaha install entails, so YMMV...

Hey glad to hear, its sounds like its not to complicated, will check and make sure I have all the tools you listed, it will only be me and my wife helping me, will probably take alittle longer and get alittle frustrated. Love this form, can't believe how much you guys offer to help with your ideas and experiences, can't thank you enough
