I've done three, piece of cake. You only need to remove the outer fairing and the switch cap housing. Remove the radio also. I've always used Hill Country Custom. They have anything and configuration you want. You didn't say what size you were getting, so not sure if you need to extend wires, but that's not a problem either. It's not hard to do, just time consuming. You'll want to go slow as to not leave anything out and to make sure when your finished, everything works.

It's too easy to justify paying someone to do it.. Just do it, if u mess up then redo it.. It'll be a good learning experience for ya

I have literally done 20+ sets of bars. These guys will walk you through any trouble you might have but I'll only add one thing I don't see mentioned very often (because it's probably common knowledge):

Lay a heavy wool jacket or something over your gas tank in case the bars slip, master cylinder slips, or something falls out of your hand etc.

You can thank me later...

Cover your fender too.
Also there is no need to go through the trouble of pulling the radio. The inner fairing will rock forward far enough to access the riser bolts.

2010 Limited with some stuff!!
