I was going to do it myself after HD wanted over $200 labor plus the bar. I found an independant chopper shop in my city who charged me $100.00 - I watched them do part of it and I`m glad I let them do it - I`d say it was a bit complicated (for me) I would attempt it in the future but only as a winter job as if I screwed something up I would`nt be able to ride for a few days or longer - if you have the time and do it slowly go for it but if you can`t afford any down time, have a pro do it.
If you chect a post (maybe biking is`nt for me - or close to that) the guy did his bars himself and pinched a wire and now some electrical parts don`t work.

Not hard at all. Like was said before, just be careful. Take it slowly and make sure you don't pinch a wire. Look for a thread on this. There should also be one on changing grips since you will be doing this in the swap. And heck, I figure that if I can do it, just about anyone can.

Not that hard, except the wire pinching problem that happens alot. Tip someone gave me is put a piece of electrical tape where it would be covered completly to hold the wires in place and another where it will be easy to remove after you have everything done.
