It is my birthday, and I am lazy. I am thinking about having my local shop pull the stock pipes off my 04 Road King and install true duals. I would say that's about an hour's labor. Straight forward loosening and tightening bolts and brackets. Any reason it should take longer than that?
Replaced my stock head pipes on my 99 Road King with S&S Power Tune Duels a couple weeks ago, Took me a couple hours to remove old pipes and brackets and couple hours the next day to install new gaskets, pipes, heat shields and slip on mufflers and clean everything up. Journeyman mechanic should be able to do the job in less then 3 hours.
If bike is not rusted and parts hard to remove it is a quick job about hour with clean up. Of course that does not include coffee breaks , I take with working on mine.
On my 2016 they did not charge me to put my Jack pot 2-1-2 header on.
Done it more than enough that anyone that suggest an hour is laughable (especially with lower fairings). The perfect scenario for one guy with test ride is 2 hours and we all know that never happens!
