Are you doing the labor yourself? If you are around $500 if not about double depending on who does it...

depending on bars and type of cables I did my super glide my self for less than $200. plain black cables and a wirring kit from JP cycles. bars run around $50 from hd, about $140 for the all 3 cables, $30 for the wirring kit, "cheapest one". put 16 on my wifes Roadking cables where custom made and it was still about $200. take your time and do it yourself otherwise it is an 8 hour job at HD

Price is subject to the parts you want, Bars can go from 40 to out of control. It's all about what you are looking for.

If you do it yourself your looking at the cost of bars, plus clutch, break, and throttle cables. If doing at the dealer add your local HDshop labour cost X 6 to 8 hours plus tax.

I did 14" el cheapo bars from Dennis Kirk with Magnum Sterling Chromite cables. Extended the wires myself. Under $300. Plain black vinyl cables would have been about $100 less.
