Just take your time and you'll be fine. After your done you'll sit back and laugh at the thought of paying someone else to do it.

When I did my street slammers I was quoted 6hrs on labor alone which I thought was crazy at $65/hr. I ended up doing it myself which took about 3hrs and that was with the wires ran internally.
They only charge $65.00 an hour at your stealership ????

Look again, every dealer within one hundred miles of me is so expensive now that they only show their 1/2 hour rate on the board now !!! and it's between 58.00 and 72.00 (depending on which rapist ..err dealer... you go to.)

Yeah, that's 1/2 hour... and yeah, that's one more reason I do my own stuff...and if it's something I'm not sure about, I have quite a few cool indy's nearby...(probably so many because of how much HD shops charge...)

I was quoted $1600 from an indy, I already have my bars. He also stated that he didn't want me to buy all the parts before bringing the bike to him, because I could get the parts through him thats of course how he makes his money.

P.S. He is a member here on the forum.
