yup i got one. i think they r great not going to miss a gear and has a reverse lock out so you cant accidently ratchet through to reverse.  its a great investment id say.

Not to bad, a helping hand will make short work of it... the pain is bolting it down. A couple of holes to drill and run the cable. Put one loop in the cable, but not more than that or you will have a really hard time shifting.
