The Ricochets are a pretty straight forward install. Rememeber that the smaller hardware uses 2 different sizes of metric hex-head bit on the a-arms. The rest of the machine uses a T-40 torx bit. If you have the bits available on a ratchet it makes things easier, don't overtighten.

If you can stand up the machine on it's rear it will make install much easier, we winched mine up to a steel I-beam support. Make sure you secure the machine.

It will definetly take a bit more to clean the machine but the added protection is worth it. If you have an Atv-Guru Brushguard you will have to slightly bend the front bash plate to fit.

Thanks for the heads up on the front bash plate as I do have the Guru's as well.
