I watched the installation of my Tow Pac IT and it took 3 mechanics 4 hours to install. I would not have attempted by myself. There's a dealer for TP in Oklahoma as you don't have to go to their corporate headquarters to purchase and get installed in Illinois. If I could afford a full trike conversion I'd go that route but I'm very happy with my TP and have about 5k on it now. Taking it next Sunday to Eureka Springs with wife for a week long trip. Best of luck friend with your healing and getting another bike/trike.
