how big of a job would it be to change handlebars? I know there are other costs like new cables and all but what would be the hardest part of the change?

sounds like having to remove my exhaust tor remove the tranny cover to replace the clutch cable will be the worst part. A local indy shop wants $300 to install the bars and I decided to let them do it for that. It would probably take me several nights to complete because I've never bled brakes or changed clutch/throttle cables on anything other than a dirt bike. It's a little large job than I cared to tackle.

yeah, I'd do the same and based on what it takes to get that done and at that price I would definitely let them do it.
