$400 an hour sounds a bit steep for this retired blue collar worker. Once a tech does this a few times it must be easy money at that rate.
The 2014 up bikes are so much easier to do a bar change on, the 2013 below are a big PITA, but I have done them on several 2013 below bikes in 2-3 hours.

Watch the youtube video.

No need to remove tank or fairing, just unbolt it and lift it up and roll the top foward to access bolts.
Cover paint well with towels etc.
