I think it was about 6 hours labor, if you can swing it, I would also add the HD premium suspension upgrade or Performance Suspension upgrade when doing the chrome lowers, well worth the money. Merry Christmas to you too!

With basic tools, the manual and a few six packs you can do it yourself. Doesn't take that much time and is really easy. On my 2007 Road King it took me 6 hours one weekend over two days. I took my time. On my 2008 Ultra, took me 4 hours. I did my buddies 2011 Ultra last weekend, 3 ˝ hours. I'm doing mine in January. Not hard at all. And bro trust me, I'm no mechanic

If you can afford it,have it done by the professionals,I don't understand why somebody has called them "bastards".I also had the Intiminator valve installed at the same time and you'll be glad you did it.Merry Christmas.
