1-2 hours. Call a couple and ask them. Remember you must remove and relace all guages and electricals.

My local dealer charged me 3 1/2 hours. I would've done it myself, but the bike only had 300 miles on it and I just didn't want to tackle that on a new one.

Nothing if you do it yourself! Mines off and sitting on the couch waiting for paint this weekend.

Thanks for replies, reason I was asking is that dealer originally quoted $250 lsbor, then I figured well while he had it tore down to pull the handlebars off so I can powdercoat em, and had the him throw on a set streetglide turn signals i already had powdercoated, so I figured well labor cant be that much more since it was torn down then I get the phone call bikes done $425, I do most all my work but hate electrical so guess I have to pay the greedy bastards. wish I would have tackled it for $425, $250 wasn't bad.
