Default Drag bars on my 2011 WG

I have seen many of you who have changed out your factory bars for some drag bars. I love the way it looks and would like to get the HD Fat Drag bars. I went to the dealership and they are asking for 8+ hours of labor to do it. Forget that!!!! How difficult of an install am I looking at here?

The key is taking apart the wires and depinning the plugs so you can feed the wires back through the bars. Just tedeous work but if you know how it's easy and not bad.
The other thing is knowing how to properly adjust the throttle cables. If you buy a service manual for your bike all the info is in there.

Although it is tedious and time consuming, you can do a bar swap in a couple of hours. My T Bars took about 2 hours, internally wired and NO wire cutting, I disassemble and reassemble the plugs every time. The first time i did a bar swap it took longer but you get the idea.
