Who has done the Bigsby on a Les Paul?

So, I was playing my Les Paul tonight during my own personal practice time. I think it's the first time I've played it in six months.

Anyway, I kept wanting a little vibrato shimmer. I have a Bigsby on my 1974 SG, a Maestro on my SG Original 2, the two-point floating bridge on my Stratocaster, and a Floyd Rose on my Jackson. Only my Washburn and Lester are vibrato-less.

So, has anyone done the Vibramate/Bigsby thing on a Lester? What are your thoughts? I'm thinking of the B7 Bigsby.
 
This has gone unanswered long enough.
I do not have one on a Les Paul of my own to show, but with the Vibramate mount, its a half hour or less operation.
I HAVE installed several B7's on SG's and Les Pauls.
Do it man, do it!
If you decide to change your mind, just unbolt it.
No blood, no fowl.
 
Uh, the real Les Paul:

So...I posted this pic yesterday of my Bigsby-fied Les Paul:

At this point, I have only one remaining electric guitar that is vibrato-less.

My poor Washburn is likely feeling left out:

Thoughts?

Never had one on a Lester, but I did on an old 335 I had, didn't like it and it came right off.
