Not trying to hijack the thread, but are these bars easier to install than apes. Your labors figures are great. Ive been to two indies and the dealer and they all quoted me the same labor of 7 hr to install new bars. Didnt add up to 1800 but still a lot more than bar + 300.00

My HD dealer told me about 7-8 hrs labor for the install. I said screw that and did it myself it took me 11hrs. The handlebar part was easy it was the removal of the exhaust system for the longer clutch cable that was a bitch. I installed the Khromewerks #300515 +2 sweepers and the clutch cable was the only thing needing to be lengthend.

I had an Indy install bars from a same year Heritage on my Fatboy that had more of a rise on them. No cable swap - everything fit. Bars are closer to the seat and no more clamshell. I think it was around $50 bucks for the swap. Dealer wanted around $300 and was insisting that new cables be used.

Do yourself a favor. Before you install the HD pullbacks take them in your hands and check if they are going to be too narrow for her/you. Those bars are very narrow and make your wrists bend outward in a not so comfortable angle. Some like the bars...many don't and end up buying wild1 575 bars or the kromewerks 2+ sweepers later...

Price was $989 Plus wiring and labor if it was 10 - 11 hours of install time maybe their time at $100/hr at maybe 9.5 hours for professional install. I'm not even going for a second opinion just going elsewhere that is a bit nuts. I could send it to Kirk and Kuryakan for less than that and have it installed. 500 - 600 dollars for install and 450 each way for shipping. Still shaking my head on that one. Mirrors being moved are extra...
