I believe my dealer charged 5 hours labor since my 12" Factory 47's didn't require swap of the brake and clutch lines. I did have to replace the throttle cabling assembly so that was an additional charge. $100 x5 = 500 in labor then just under $100 for the throttle wiring, and the cost of the bars. If the brake and clutch line would have needed replacement it sounded like it was going to be an additional hour each and the cost of the cables, so another $400ish in parts and labor.
If you aren't doing the conversion on a new bike before delivery to keep them in the warranty, I would recommend watch the you tube videos and sit down and string them yourself.

the bar install is not that hard if you have time. It seems to be for me its when i think im going to do it in a day i get frustrated if something goes wrong and get into trouble. Take it one component at a time, find a utube video on doing that one thing, and do it. Plan for your bike to be down for a couple days or a whole week. Ask here if a part falls off your bike or you cant figure out how to get something back on. You can install apes on your bike.....everyone here can its just taking your time and focusing on one thing at a time (it helped me to take pics of what the setup or part looked like, before i dismantled it) There is videos on utube of every part of replacing your handlebars you just have to find them then piece them together. Main thing is take your time, put a blanket on your tank...put a piece of cardboard between the switch on the brake lever....dont skip the small steps or youll be hatin yourself later.

Bar swap on a road king is a piece of cake.
Did the wifes streetglide in 2 1/2 hrs taking my time. If you have to change clutch/ brake lines that will add time.
If you need to extend wiring get a plug and play kit for 35.00.

I did the bars myself on my Limited and SGS, neither job cost more than $300 (bars and wire extensions) in parts. The only cable I needed was a clutch for the Limited.
If you need cables and lines then the cost goes up. A braided set is about $250.
