Hey guys I’m new here. I had recently bought a 2013 street glide. I had stopped by a Harley dealer and asked how much they would charge to put a set of 10 inch handle bars on. They first told me that I would need extensions for cables and wiring. And then told me it would be a round $2000 parts and labor. I’m not looking for $1000 set of handlebars I have found some around between $300-$500. Does it normally cost this much just to put handlebars on a street glide?

 

For 10" bars on '13 you only need a +4 clutch cable. The other connectors you can disconnect from cable mounts on left/rt side of radio and run harnesses under radio so handlebar wiring reach. The most difficult part of it is de-pinning connectors then running wires through bars and reconnect. Many good youtube videos on DIY. If aren't comfortable doing it yourself a HD Indy would be less cost.

 

I heard horror stories on here about dealer costs on bar installs. I thought that was gouging in high rent market places. Nope, my buddy had his done locally and they nipped him $1700... Ouch. I have less than $400 in mine with bars, cables and brake lines DYI.

 

I was quoted 1750 for bars and labor on 19 CVO roadglide.

 

Just helped a buddy do a set of 16 inch bars on a roadking. This is not a hard task but it is a tedious and time consuming task. A lot of things must be removed to allow access and some mechanical skill is required. Sounds like a great winter DIY project to save some cash!! I would recommend if you are going 10 inch bars or bigger get the wire extensions and longer cables for both sides. Makes things a lot easier. Just my 2 cents.

 

Buy these and do it yourself...not hard to do just take your time. I did mine on my 08 SG and I bought a +4 clutch cable.

 

If you have the patience and some basic mechanic skills it is not bad doing yourself. Just take your time and don't get rammy lol. Take a good 4-5 hours the first time.

 

I like all the bike info on these forums but, you have to do your research. I cant tell you how many posts I've read that say no extensions are required if the bars are 12" or less. I have a friend who has some py 12" bars and used no extensions on a 07 street glide.
A local motor sports shop near me told me about 1k for a set of 10" bars installed, and that included the price of the bars. Anyway, definitely shop around.
