I've noticed a lot of people have the timing advance mod on their Kat. I have a 98 Kat 600 that I would love to do this on. What is required when doing this....is it mechanically challenging , or next to impossible without shop tools. Thanks guys.

If you buy one of the pre-made advancers, it takes about 10 minutes.
Required is the allen key for the right hand signal cover, a big metric socket for the retaining nut (22mm? I can't recall the size off the top of my head), and a torque wrench. Remove the cover, unbolt the old one, remove, install the new one, bolt it back down to spec torque. Reinstall cover.
NOTE: you may have to replace the gasket for the signal cover, depending on whether it tore and/or what condition it is in. If so, add a couple minutes
PS - the gasket is not included in the kit.

Yes I am bringing this thread back to life! :smt006
I ordered the gasket from Ron Ayers. Any other tips from anyone?
I will use my trusty old torque wrench to bolt the nut back on but any other guidance for putting this advancer in? Any pics from anyone?

Thanks! So does it just pop in there, no other parts to swap with?"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

KS, it's pretty straightforward. You'll see when you take the cover off that there is really nothing to it.
