Default Shop for ape install SWFL

Anyone have any recommendations on a shop to do a bar install that I won't have to trade my bike in to pay for?

I am in Naples but will travel.

Do you have any experience spinning wrenches?

If you can do basic work, you can buy pre-wired bars with proper length clutch and brake lines from Hill Country Cycles. This makes the install very easy indeed, hardest thing is pulling the tank and that's easy once you understand the "two vice grip trick".

Just an idea, I did my bars in an evening and it was easy.

I do, it was more of a time issue than anything. I'm going to do them myself, I just need to pick up some beer first

I think it was a 3 beer job on mine.

I have a buddy in Naples who rides I can see if he's got a lead on a local indy and post back up also.

My friend in Naples said Everglades Cycle is reasonable.

If I hadn't had to deal with a batwing I would have done them myself. Now that I've seen a video of them done I wouldn't pay to have them done again.... but I understand not want to mess with it too.
