Yes I am going to install it. I have had the bike down to frame, wiring and triple trees before so it shouldn't be a issue. I have my R1 caliper underslung like Mike ([email protected]) so I hope I can get the caliper bled properly.Thanks, you're gonna love it. Sean really has his **** together. The wheel and swingarm kit are the deal. I had no idea how much the stock unbraced swingarm flexes.
You gonna install it yourself? I did, and it was a job but nothing to bad.

The only thing holding me up is that I have a lot of other more important things to tend to ATM.

I must have missed this, but it is good news that you found your issue with bleeding. It makes looking forward to the job on Wednesday seem a little less daunting. I hope I am able to get the caliper high enough as I'm not sure how much cable slack I will have since my cable runs inside the swingarm.My bleeding issue turned out to be a leaky caliper. I was loosing a VERY small amount of fluid from the "spots". I tore the caliper down and did an inspection and found that there were some globs of powder coating inside the caliper where the o-rings on the spots seal up.
I ended up stripping all the PC from the caliper inside and out. I repainted it with VHT caliper paint. It looked better coated but what are you gonna do? I bought all new dust and piston seals. The kit does NOT come with O-rings for the "spots" There is not even a PN listed on the fische for them. A local hardware store has an amazing assortment of metric o-rings so I dropped about a dollar on new o-rings.
Once reassembled with new seals and no PC inside, it bled pretty easily. You have to mount the caliper, route the line and tighten the banjo, remove the caliper and hold it up high, then bleed.
No major deal if your caliper is in good shape!
Good luck with the rebuild, I'm sure Redbone is going to look great.
