1. remove the seat and install the riders backrest.
2. You need to install the saddlebag mounts in order to install the sissy bar.
3. install the sissybar/luggage rack/passenger backrest.
4. Install rear dresser bars.
5. install front dresser
6. install floorboards
7. install seat.
8. Ride and enjoy.
9. Drink Guinness and Bush's Black as you clean your bike.

the new dealer does neither
however buying that many accessoried in one go would have been worth a shout for free fitting.
that said i prefer to fit my own kit because then i can grease all the fittings and know its torqued correctly.
good luck with your instalation

The boards are fantastic. Not only are they comfortable on long trips, I feel they give you slightly more clearance in the twisties, and you don't grind your boots off! :)
But as with a lot of the Triumph accessories, they are not perfect and really could do with a re-design on two fronts:
1) On both sides (but more on the left side than the right for some reason) the scraper plate location on the boards is wrong. It is situated in the middle of the board, and almost does not get scraped at all when you are actually riding the bike. Instead, the allow floorboard itself gets hacked up and the chrome gets torn off. Pretty terrible design, really. Luckily there is a little more clearance, and I've since backed off a bit, too.
2) The brake pedal is nothing short of agricultural!!! I have seen smaller brake pedals on 20ton tractors, for f#cks sake! I did a lot of modifications to mine so that I could fit a nice Kuryakyn brake lever cover. I think I have pics in my gallery. If not, let me know and I will put them up. The results look good.
Even with these major design flaws, I would still get them... I'll just have to sort out some scaper plates towards the rear of the boards where they should have been placed! :(
