Not too bad. It took me about 2 1/2 hrs to change mine out and add heated grips. You'll probably want to have the factory service manual handy,

I did a set of Krome Werks wide sweepers with internal wiring in about 2 1/2 hours. Not a hard job. HD dealer quoted crazy numbers saying the internal wiring was a nightmare. It took around 15 minutes to pull both sides through.

It's a '19. I did the extensions. It would work without if you go external, but if you go internal, you'll need extensions for the switch wiring. Throttle is fine and you'll have to reroute the brake line a little. I went with 300517. They fit like a glove.
