Default Mounting New Bars and Cables

How long should it take an experienced mechanic to mount new bars, cables and grips on a lowrider?

Not sure about the Lowrider, which they shouldn't be much of a difference but I spoke with the HD service manager about putting some 14's and new cables on my 09 SB just yesterday and he told me 4 hrs. That is internal wiring too. Hope this helps. This is something that I am new at so there is some things I am worried about doing myself.

I'd say Jaydoss' estimate sounds about right... ...assuming no issues pop up (fitment, etc.).

Thanks guys. I figured about 4-5 hours since the tank has to be removed.

Tank shouldn't need to come off, just raised up a bit.
Quite an easy job the bars and all, just takes a little patience
and within 4 hours you will be ready for a test ride.
