You will need a few bolts from the hardware store, but I was able to mount it to the stock crash bar - it doesn't sit perfectly in the middle, it's offset to the right a little. In this configuration, you're also going to need to trim either the pipe leading to the throttlebody or the pipe that leads to that. As I said, when I get to the whole thing, I'll outline everything as best I can. I also removed my windshield washer fluid reservoir for now, it was in the way. I will list the exact specs of the bolts/nuts/washers I purchased to make it easier. I'm willing to bet that there's a level of variance between each kit produced, so yours may be worse than mine, or better.

I don't envy you driving a turbo twin on those rock and ice covered VT roads. Good luck.
I haven't, I'd like to go at some point. It seems incredible, I just bomb around the Appalachian gap mostly ( Route 17 here in Huntington, knows as "Buels gore" ). I actually really enjoy the driving dynamic of the roads here. You're always being challenged to be observant and aware. This may be because I grew up driving snowmobiles without studs, so you needed to be crazy if you wanted to be fast. The worst part of the roads is the inevitable damage from kicking stuff up. I may put mudflaps on this year, I'm not used to a car that has such thin paint, my doors and are speckled white
