How much for new bars??

Hey Forum,

I wanted to put Yaffe Monkey Bars (10") on my 2011 Street Glide, and asked the guys up at the Harley dealership how much for bars, new lines (I guess I need new lines for the longer bars?), and labor.

They quoted me $1400 !!

Has anyone else seen this price for what I'm looking at doing? Should I ask another dealership for a quote? This seems super high to me...the bars are only $375. They quoted $900 for parts and $500 for labor.

Thanks for the help!

labor sounds about right, the dealer that did mine quoted 6 hours at $78hr. parts seem a little high though.

Yeah shops usually want an arm and both legs for bars. That price sounds within the range I've hear 1200-1800 which is too high. You can do it yourself for $600 or so.

Mine were 1100. Worth every penny. I cant touch any wires without screwing something up. House, car, stereo, bike no wiring for me.

When I got a dealer quote they included the kitchen sink in it. Their parts list included all the brake lines, wire extensions and clutch cable. I did it myself, Wild 1 575 and only needed the clutch cable thus saving $$$.

Thanks for the info!

I'm not too concerned about the labor...I've got ABS and I know they have to bleed the lines...blah, blah, blah.

It's the parts that seem really high. I'm guessing they added all new lines in that price?
