No guides .
You have all the parts needed .
What you need to do now is .

Remove your swing arm if you don't have a spare .
Remove the hugger mounts and caliper carrier mount from the swing arm.
Clean it up then place the brace on the swing arm have it welded up .
The blade caliper slider bit lines up with the fat bit facing down .
Fit the rear spindle and caliper carrier so that that the slider is level and mark its location then weld that on .
Dress up the welds and paint or powder coat the swing arm .

My build thread has a pretty good description, and also quite a few pictures. People asked me detailed questions on the install and i tried to answer as best as i could. Lots of information on it here:
