I think the dealer charged 3 hours labor to my bill. $210 well worth it to me as I'm no "wrench".

Im trying to work a package "off season" deal with ape hanger install and the lowers... Normally they want 7 hours for the internally wired bars so Its good to know what the charge put is for the lowers alone... Thanks

Was told 4 hrs for the blackout front end kit install here, only dinged me 2 however as I'm getting custom paint as well, so half the work was done.
