If you're not confident about doing the install yourself check an INDY. I spent half that getting mine installed and I also bought all new clutch and brake lines plus had them run wires internally and relocate my front turn signals.

You asked if the Superglides are a single caliper bike? I am totally new to bikes, so I don't know. I have the 2012 Super Glide Custom if you find out.

I did not plan on an internal bar wiring job. Just external like my stock bike came with and stock cables.

I bought the same kit except I got 12" bars, and paid the extra $90 for them to put the HD factory wire plugs on. No splicing wires at all...plug and play.

For $1,650 they should add an entire new front end.

I'd look around for an indy shop. I thought about having mine put on and called a local shop and they quoted me a price of no less than $150 and no more than $300 as long as I supplied the parts. Their mechanic is HD certified if that means anything.

I am in the process of putting a set of 12" minis on an 03 Night Train. So far having only a couple of hours in the morning before work, Im about 3 hours or so in and I should finish the soldering and mount the bars tomorrow morning. Given the amount of time I have had to work on them I figure I should have everything back together and finished on Thursday morning with a total of about 5 hours into the job. Internal wiring is a bit og a pain, but definitely worth the effort. Wild Card is right and you will thank yourself for it later. Once I am finished with this Night Train, I will be putting a set of 14's on my FXST...
