A very easy install. You also need to buy a cable separately.
Also an easy install, but carefully measured.
Yes, pricey.

I think it was $40 and its the same as the lokar one. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 385 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 385 | This is the exact one i got. Ok maybe around $60 then not $40. Rpc 8504 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 385 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2014 Posts: 385 | Its easy to install. All i had to do was run a cable straight up the fire wall from the pedal bracket then just loop it to the carb linkage.
