I agree with Clay, you've got to be prepared to pull off some front end parts and exhaust can and pipe. I've done the last four sleds with these braces and also installed a secondary tower brace.
Just ride the sled, get to know how everything works and have a blast. There are lots of good people on here that will help you. Mods can always be done down the road.
Nice lookin sled highstage, just bought one myself. It's pretty much the same sled as my '09 summit everest. Shoot me a pm if you want to discuss any options for this sled. I'm only 45 minutes away.

There are a ton of mods you can do to the sled but just ride the thing and see how it feels. You probably already know that sleds have changed a bit in the last ten years. :yahoo:
