Ballpark/ Estimate Price?
Over the winter I am thinking of dropping the Bike off at the local dealership to convert my 2012 FLHX over to the HD Mini Chrome Apes with braided cables. All HD hardware! What am I looking at in price with labor?

Well if you want the bars and cant do it yourself, thats what you are going to pay. Especially on touring bikes its pretty labor intensive. Just finished my la choppers 13in mini apes.

Like I said , I'd live with what came on the bike, if I had to pay $1200 for a handlebar change.

Why so labor intensive? I remember putting apes on my Honda back around 1982 took about an hour plus another to get the brake line swapped and bled. Is it because of the fairing or the internal wiring on the bars or the new throttle system? It doesn't look too difficult to remove the bars at least on the Road King.
