The part itself is really easy, literally one bolt. However, I found that the one bolt doesn’t have clearance to be removed with the triple clamps installed. You might be able to do so at the right angle with an Allen that has a ball tip, but it wasn’t that easy for me. So… off comes the top clamp, a special tool is needed for the steering stem nut, or devise your own diy tool. Then the wheel, front forks & bottom clamp. The spider bracket can be used with the horn if needed, or at least I found the clearance to do so. The kicker is that you need a way to support the bike without a front stand as you are removing the forks & the triple clamps. So an engine stand, or tie downs connected to the trans slung from the garage rafters are needed. So all in all it’s a few hour job, but not horrible IMO. The new steering stop does reduce the amount of steering, increasing the steering radius. That is felt in the paddock & in parking lots but you can plan around it once you get used to it.
