This is like asking someone how long it takes to take a poop... Depends on who's doing it...

Bags less 30 sec each, outer fairing under 5 min, side covers a few seconds each, rear fender I had off in ten minutes, front fender you have to remove the wheel to get at the bolts (they have a keeper plate that bends tabs around the heads of the bolts) so maybe fifteen twenty minutes.

Welcome to the forum. You did not indicate what bike you are working on so you aren't going to get much help.

If it is a new, or new to you, MC than I would suggest that you get the service manual so you can figure the basics out on you own.

People here are usually pretty helpful but they need information to work with.

Sorry for the lack of information...It's a 2004 Electra Glide Standard and I will be working with a guy that is putting in my 95" Big Bore Kit. Just was wondering in general how long...I'm meeting the guy at 8am and he didn't tell me how long it would take, so was just trying to get an idea. Thanks for the replies.

good one. It truly amazes me the questions people ask. Really guy? I'm sure some could probably have everything apart in less than an hour where some that may be an all day project.
