I have a 12 StreetBob and changed out stock mini-aps to 16's, had more than enough wire in the backbone that I did not have to jack with the wiring at all. I did it myself in 5 hours, took my time, took lots of pictures for reference. Honestly the hardest thing was getting the new clutch cable to start threading on the tran cover. I just put the cable in a vise and spun the cap which was much eaiser than trying to start the cable itself. If I can do it, so can you.

I went to the dealer and they told me 16hrs to change out my bars and forks, that's all the help I needed, did it myself in about 1/2 the time, saved over $1200, it's really not that hard, as stated before, read the manual and take your time.
