Anyone know roughly how much it will cost me to put on some Chubby ones, chubby risers,a smooth top clamp, and stainless brake,throttle, and clutch. My dealer quoted me right at $1500.00 and I about shhatt myself all over. Due to me not wearing any underwear under my baggy shorts it would of been real ugly.lol. I'm trying to put this on my '05 Deluxe. Anyone with similar situations?..




p.s. $800 IS LABOR

 

Depending on the style of bars, you can expect at least $800....that's minimum. $1500 is absolutely possible depending on a couple variable (stainless or diamond cables, style bars, etc).

 

Rough guessing, the parts would be $500-$600. Most places will likely charge you about 4 hours for the job if you want the wires in the bars. So, about 800 bucks is what I would figure you'd have to lay out. Personally, I'd just do it myself. It's not a hard job.

 

Buy the service manual and parts, do it yourself, save about $1,000...

 

Okay I hear ya. Im getting to that point where I want to do it all myself. Now what about the cables, thats the part I was dreading doing myself.

 

I was quoted around $500ish by a friend with an independent shop and a drag and bikers choice catalog to do wild1 apes and stainless cabling.. Said that's been roughly his experience with the end cost.

The dealers do get Paaaaaid don't they.

Find a reputable drag / cci / bc dealer and tally up your parts.. It's a huge difference from the dealers "premium".

And cabling ain't bad.. Toughest part is getting the right lengths.. The internal wiring is infact a beeeyatch so unless you want a little project there, find that same reputable independent guy to do the work as well. For every H-D dealer there's some other guy with a couple lifts in a single bay shop that's just as good for most if not all svc with the profits going to him, instead of trickling up to the fatcat dealer owner and back to H-D.

 

Cables really aren't that bad, a bit time consuming (bleed brakes, etc), but not difficult. And running wiring inside the bars isn't either, as long as your comfortable with your soldering and heat-shrink skills..

 

I imagine with the cables the trick is guessing the correct lengths.. I'll bet if a guy was going with Wild1's, they'd probably know to the inch the correct cable lengths for a particular bike.
