75 yr old mechanic with fabrication exp. I installed the BLU94ER on my 2025 Maverick XL I bought to use as toad. For me it was a very easy install the instructions were very poor hopefully the are better now I looked at a utube video of a different brand and year before I started this was extremely helpful. Maverick makes a great toad could not be happier.The biggest problem I had was placing the pedestrian speaker actually not a real problem
