I got a ding in one of my chrome fork slider covers. I've always liked the bar and shield ones in the accessories catalog so maybe now's the time to switch. What are the dealers getting for labor to install these?

 

The dealers around my area don't quote job prices....it's always by the hour. And, their rates vary from $55-95. Local good indy charges $35 an hour. I'd say your looking at the 2-3 hour range, based on how long it took for that part of the front end install to get done on my bike...if you get somebody that knows what they are doing, and doesn't take a ton of breaks and charging you for them.
