$1k for new handlebars ??
thats what I was quoted at the dealer for parts and labor for wanting some Wild1 bars installed. Most of that was labor as they said it would be roughly a 10 hour job !!?? Is this right ? Guess Im sticking with the factory bars....

Same here, I paid the price. No time, and no experience, so off it went. The results, however, were awesome.

ok, gonna check around for some indy shops to see. Maybe I can get by with just some longer risers. I need more pullback so Im not leaning forward as far. That price just blew my mind

Grab a manual and do it yourself.... It's not that hard. Spend the money saved on labor on more parts

I paid $1058 to go from stock FB bars or 12 inch Apes. 7.5 hour, all new cables, wiring harness, internally wired,bushing, brake line, fluid, banjo nut and mirrors.
With everything else I had done at the same time I ended up with a $320.00 discount on parts and free pick up and delivery during the winter.

yeah that seems to be the dealerships std line - looked into it for the wife
find a good indy shop - you may or may not need new cables - they should know
but my guess is that even with new cables you should be able to get out of there for $600 with the pricxe of the bars and cables included
