Shouldn't be too hard. I replaced the clutch/brake levers on my old bike many times. It's usually only one or two screws and then the cable.

heres a tip for when putting it them on

first connect the cable to the lever, and then set it into the perch

makes it alot easier than trying to wiggle the cable into the lever after you have bolted it on

dont wanna take over the thread, but i thought i would ask instead of making a new thread:

when you get an aftermarket clutch perch and lever, can you adjust the clutch like you can on stock? like....can you adjust the tension, and how far the clutch has to be pulled to engage, cuz i like for my clutch to engage/disengage close to the handlebars. And i rode my friends xr200, and the clutch engaged when it was almost all the way out, and i cant stand that.

I agree. I have an RTC perch and have absolutely no complaints. They make a great product and have great customer service.
