New coil, ready to roll

I received the good coil in the mail yesterday, and am ready to get the darned thing installed. Question is, do I try it myself? Or wait and take a road trip to Canada? I'm thinking of just waiting, especially since I really don't know what I'm doing, and I could use a nice road trip. I plan on going in September. I think if I did do it myself, the bike would be off the road for a while. I'm afraid that once I got started, it might become to technically difficult... bla bla bla... I should just do it and get it over with. :)
