Default Hand Lever Install?

I bought a set of black hand levers for the Street Glide. Can someone post instuctions on how to swap out the stock levers? How long should this job take?

Thanks for the tip guy...

I have a service manual, but let a friend borrow it and don't have it handy. He's on vacation so I'm stuck waiting for him to return.

Just take the snap-ring off of the roll-pin and push the roll-pin's out. Just be careful with the brake switch or you'll be replacing that as well.

And for the clucth, you need to back off the adjuctment nut to give you some slack in removing and installing the cable. Just mark the spot where you start to back off on the locking nut.
