Default Install labor cost

I believe I am capable of doing the install but would still need help with tune. Because of work I'm only home about 5 days a month so my home time is valuable to me. This is the system I'm thinking.
2015 Limited
Amp
Front speakers
Tour pac pod speakers
Hog tunes lower speaker kit and speakers for wet heads.
DSR1

Using factory hu and wiring as much as possible.
I can get hu flashed free at dealer.
Can anyone tell me approximately what I should expect to pay for installation labor cost and separate tune labor cost?

Thanks

So 6 speakers? Coaxial or pa? How many amps? All this will factor into the labor costs

Will you be buying the equipment at the same shop that will be doing the install/tune?

I would be buying most if not all of the equipment from installer. That way they can stand behind it. If I self install I would shop around for deals on equipment. As far as type of speakers I'm not sure. I will not be competing however it must kick and blow Soundz new $3000 system away. Most importantly plenty of power and perform at 75+mph. Everything must fit inside bat wing. $2000 to $2500 budget, maybe $2800 if I have it installed.
I'm just trying to get a ballpark figure. I have read everything posted on this site since December of last year on equipment recommendations. I didn't want to bother people for equipment suggestions until I got closer to doing install because it may not happen till winter.

I am not willing to put equipment inside of saddlebags or tour pack. All amps must fit under the hood.

If ur buying most of the equipment from the installer, what brands are they an authorized dealer for?

If u want all this stuff to fit under the hood ur gonna need a BT Bracket that allows u to remove the pods.

What is currently located in ur clutch dude cubby on the inside of the inner fairing? CB?

What are ur genres of choice?

I would consider either the ARC PSM or the DD DSI-2 vs the DSR. Personal preference so ask around a bit. I do hear more negative reviews from the DSR than any of them so do a lil research on this.

If you acquire all the goods via a detailed shopping list, there is no reason you could not get this done yourself in a day or so, depending on your mechanical skill set. ( = More cash for better equipment).

Thanks for all of the replys and I'm leaning towards self install. I just want a rough estimate on install and tune( ie $400-$800 install and $100 tune). Is that close? I just need a labor range .

At a top bike audio shop I'd bet the labor would be $1200-1500 and a good tune another $300-500. Where are you located?
