Default rotors install

What would be a reasonable amount of time for a reputable shop to install new front and rear rotors on a Deluxe?

I would think that 2 hours of labor would be fair. Why not do it yourself?

In my opinion, an experienced shop *should* be able to do this in an hour. I did a wheel/rotor swap on my Night Train, and except for having the brake pads fall out of one of my front calipers (my fault), it took me maybe 1.5-2 hours.

Yeah, but the time that they can do it in and the time that they will charge you won't be the same.
