It wasnt too bad. The actual putting the thing together was a lot easier than it looks. the tight space made it difficult (I left the seat in).

It really didnt take too long. I think the worst part was trying to pick up tools without getting out of the car haha. I found a good bendy necked flashlight helped a lot.

I have a single gym around here that is always packed. i've mainly been doing T-25 workouts at home. I'm having the GF begin teaching me how to properly stretch and become flexible starting Monday. I can't even bend anymore.

Takes about 15-20 minutes.

lol spread it out, do it in 6 days so you get a day of rest. that's only about 160-170 pushups a day. break that down by 12 hours and it's only 14 pushups an hour... you can do that easily

So ... once you do yours, we can chat. I have one that has languished in the box for the last 8 months. Just need time and 50 less pounds. But hey, taking the seat out might be the trick.

That would be correct. About the time I got it, I was figuring out how to use the stock pedal. Now I don't want to change it till the end of the driving season. Which is what I did last year and then never did it.
