Default Time Replacing Inner Primary?

I just purchased a chrome inner primary and am having my local hd dealer install it over the winter here while they have the bike in storage. Can anyone tell me approximately how long it should take them to install it-I don't want to get ripped off for labor. Thanks in advance.

I looked into it last year....I think they quoted me like 4 hrs labor to do it (book time).

it's a non-insignificant change. When I have mine done, they'll do it too. That's too much for me to want to tear down.

Alot of labor money, would be worth tryin yourself. If it's your first time, it'll take ya about 3 hours with a service manual if ya have all the new gaskets & all ready to go. It's acually a pretty cool job to do!
