I have an 87. In case you didn't know, and Panthera did not inform me before I purchased the kit. You will have to cut the frame to install the battery box. Also after the flywheel cover is installed your OEM shift lever will not clear the cover. I heated and bent mine to allow for the almost 1" difference in covers. Other than that it's a great investment. A little salty at $2k after all is said and done but well worth it to me. Good luck.

That motor turned out pretty good. Ditch that DG muffler and find a universal fit, make your center pipe and you'll be much better off without that noise cannon. That's what I did, mine had a Cobra, nothing but a noise maker. Outerwears shockwears shock cover to keep rear shock looking good. Used one on mine for years. One of my footpegs was bent, I replaced with a set from Wicked Metal Designs.
