What it "should" cost won't be close to what it "will" cost. 
I can't help much, I've always done my own but a friend of mine just had 14" apes installed at the dealer on his Street Glide. Cost him a little over $1200.

How many sets of Apes have you installed?? I've done several. Takes more than 2 hrs...where did you buy your extended cables and brake lines and other "parts" for $200??
If you didn't live so far away I would let you do mine in the future, lol...

.....more than it should.
on a bike like yours (without a fairing or nacelle) it's cake as long as you have moderate mechanical skills. you can even find bars that are internally pre-wired which makes it even easier. the hardest part is the clutch cable.
I suggest doing it yourself. you can always take it to an indy or the dealer if you get stuck but I highly doubt you'r that inept.

According to Apehanger University, handlebars cannot be more than 15" above the seat in Texas. Don't forget to include the cost of a ticket in your estimates.
